16. The unexpended portion of such ammunition as may have been issued for a specific gunnery exercise or experimental firing shall be turned in as soon as practicable, after such firing, to an ammunition depot, unless additional firings are immediately authorized by the Navy Department.

17. Since the safety in handling and the. disposition of ammunition depend upon the correctness of reports and records, care shall be taken not to obliterate identification marks on ammunition or to put it into incorrectly marked containers. When ammunition in other than normal condition is returned to an ammunition depot in compliance with these safety precautions, it shall be marked to indicate its condition and the reason for its return. If smokeless powder is involved the weight of the smokeless powder returned shall also be indicated.

Projectiles, fuzes.
C. N. R. 11.

18. Projectiles shall not be altered, nor shall fuzes or any other parts be removed or disassembled on board ship without explicit

instructions from the Bureau of Ordnance. Projectiles shall not be allowed to rust or to become oversize through paint. Slings and grommets and other similar protective devices shall be removed before loading projectiles into guns. Since the slings are likely to jam the hoists, they shall be removed before sending up the projectile.

19. A fuzed projectile, or a cartridge case, whether in a container or not, if dropped from a height exceeding 5 feet shall be set aside and turned into a naval ammunition depot at the first opportunity, (See par. 17.) Such ammunition shall be handled with the greatest care. However, if a, shrapnel or an illuminating projectile with a 21-second fuze not set at "safety" is dropped or struck so as to deform the fuze, the complete cartridge, if it is fixed ammunition (otherwise the fuzed projectile only), shall at once be thrown overboard or immersed in water until this can be done.

20. A loaded and fuzed projectile, seated in the bore of a gun that is hot from previous firing, presents a hazard since detonation of the projectile is probable as a result of being heated. Whenever practicable, such projectiles should be disposed of promptly by firing the round. Whether a gun is hot or cold, the risks attendant upon removing a loaded and fuzed projectile seated in the bore, by backing out, are considered unwarranted except in the case of guns for which existing instructions specifically prescribe this procedure.

C. N. R. 24.

21. Certain minor caliber and time fuzes are armed by setback instead of centrifugal action. Care must be used to avoid tapping or otherwise striking projectiles so fuzed. This precaution is particularly applicable to attempts to loosen such a projectile in the cartridge case by repeated light blows of a hammer or mallet it also applies to unloading such a projectile wedged in the bore of a gun.

22. Nose fuzes being sensitive, care shall be taken to prevent them from being struck as by the gun in recoil, by ejected cases, by dropping, etc.

28. Time fuzes which have been set shall be reset on "safety" before sending them below.

24. In handling projectiles fitted with tracers, care shall be taken not to strike the tracer, as such a blow involves danger of igniting it.

C. N. R. 23.

25. Loaded and fuzed projectiles shall not be used for sub-or ex-caliber, except in the case of field guns firing at targets on land.

--288--

Smokeless powder.
C. N. R. 11.

26. Smokeless powder shall not be exposed to the direct rays of the sun. Powder in bulk, in tanks, cartridges cases, ammunition boxes, ready service boxes, or in any other containers shall be protected against abnormally high temperatures (over 100° F.).

27. Whenever smokeless powder has been exposed to adverse storage conditions or treated contrary to the provisions of paragraph 26, it shall be segregated and shall, for purposes of tests, inspections, and reports, be regarded as a separate index; if the

If, in the judgment of the surveying officer, the provisions are of proper quality, they shall be issued, notwithstanding objections, unless the commanding officer shall direct otherwise. If, however, the provisions are not approved, others of a better quality shall, if on board, be at once issued in their stead.

1408

Issues to officers' messes.

C. N. R. 24.

(7) Notwithstanding the above district limits, local adjustments of limited jurisdiction for special purposes are authorized on the part of interested commandants, and should be made, when advisable, to facilitate unified control of an activity of one district requiring related jurisdiction in an adjacent district.

Section 2--General Administration

1481

Commandant.

Each naval district shall be commanded by a designated commandant, who is the direct representative of the Navy Department including its bureaus and offices, in all matters affecting district activity.

1482

Not to supervise details.

(1) In the administration of affairs in the district the commandant shall not personally supervise the details of work or administration of the several groups or units, but will transact necessary business with the officer commanding the group or unit. These groups or units will be coordinate, and every effort will be made to develop complete intercommunication and cooperation

--453--

among the several groups and units in regard to all matters requiring joint action.

(2) The commandant of a naval district has, in the general transactions of the service, authority and control over all naval establishments ashore within the limits of his command, but is not to interfere with the management of those establishments where there are commanding officers, unless a particular and sufficient cause should in his opinion render it necessary, in which case he is to report to the department the nature of the order given and his reasons for giving it.

(3) If, however, the commanding officer of the establishment considers that any public inconvenience is likely to arise from compliance with the order of the district commandant, he is to represent it promptly to him, stating the objections, after which, if the order is adhered to, it is to be obeyed without further delay or discussion, the district commandant becoming wholly responsible to the department for the measure. The commanding officer concerned may, if he thinks proper, send to the department any observation which he may desire to submit for consideration.

(4) (a) The responsibility for the organization and efficient operation of all administrative units within naval districts, such as navy yards, torpedo stations, training stations, recruiting stations, submarine bases, schools, etc., rests with the officer in direct command of such units.

(b) in the administration of affairs within his district the commandant shall not direct nor shall be be responsible for the technical work being carried on by any of the various organizations, but the head of each administrative unit will keep him informed regarding the general nature and scope of the work carried on, and supply him with all information that will be of value in formulating plana (1) for the coordination of all naval activities within the district and (2) for the operation and defense of the district in the event of war.

(c) In the execution of these regulations it is assumed that an "administrative unit" consists of all activities which are so grouped in one place as to come logically under the immediate military control of one head. As, for an example, where a receiving ship, marine barracks, or hospital is located within the natural limits of a navy yard, it will be under the immediate military control of the commandant of that yard.

(d) Communications relating entirely to the technical work of any of the establishments referred to in paragraph (4) (a) shall be carried on direct with the bureau or station concerned.

(e) Communications from any administrative unit which involve a question of military policy, or which affect the operating of any other unit, shall be forwarded through the commandant of the naval district for recommendation.

(Act of 30 June 1890.)

C. N. R. 19.

(2) The provisions of the preceding paragraph do not apply to the "Replacement of Naval Vessels" appropriations and to the "Clothing and Small Stores" fund; "Replacement of Naval Vessels" appropriations are continuous and the "Clothing and Small Stores" fund is intended to be self-sustaining.

1594

Examination of supplies on hand.

Supply officers shall afford every facility to heads of departments and divisions, and to inspectors, for obtaining information and examining supplies on hand.

1595

Arrangement of prescribed outfits and allowances.

(1) (a) Each bureau, except that of Medicine and Surgery, shall arrange its prescribed outfit (Title B) and allowance of stores (Title C) for ships entitled to them. These allowance lists of

--499--

outfit and stores shall be in tabulated form and the arrangement shall be in accordance with the classification of the Bureau of Supplies and Accounts. Station ships, receiving ships, prison ships, and yard craft are not entitled to allowances lists. Allowance lists for ships operating under the general supply system shall be for Title B only, but each bureau shall also furnish for such ships a type allowance list for the information of the supply officer showing what items of Title C supplies may be carried in store on board under Title X or obtained on "not in excess" requisitions.

Torpedo craft.

(b) Allowance lists for destroyers, torpedo craft, and submarines shall be for Title B only. For each class of these vessels each bureau shall furnish to the Bureau of Supplies and Accounts a special type allowance list of Title C items chargeable to its appropriation, and the Bureau of Supplies and Accounts shall combine the several bureaus' type allowance lists in one binder for issue to the individual vessels.

(c) Vessels loaned to Naval Militia organizations shall be furnished with allowance lists of Title B only.

Change of home yard.

(2) Whenever the home yard of a vessel is changed the allowance lists shall be immediately sent by the yard holding them to the new home yard of the vessel, except when the allowance lists are being used to outfit a vessel, in which case they shall be forwarded as soon as they have served their purpose.

Time of preparation of outfits and allowances.
C. N. R. 20.

(3) The prescribed allowance list for a ship shall be prepared during her construction and fully completed at least three months before the time when a contract built ship is accepted by the Government or when a navy yard built ship is ready for trial.

Number of copies.
C. N. R. 20.

(4) Four copies of the allowance lists under each bureau shall be furnished by the bureau preparing same to the navy yard where the ship is to be fitted out, for the supply officer, head of manufacturing division concerned, the ship's supply officer, and the head of the ship department concerned, respectively. When additional copies are required they shall be supplied upon request by the bureau concerned.

Supplies to be purchased.

(5) (a) The supply officer at the yard where the ship is to be fitted out is responsible for the assembling of all of the articles called for by allowance lists to be furnished by the Government. In order that he may be informed in the premises, items to be furnished by the contractor will be marked with a special symbol. If the bureau concerned indicates in the allowance list that certain articles are to be obtained from other navy yards, he will obtain them from such yards, unless they are available in store. The instructions relative to assembling ship's outfits which bureaus

--500--

incorporate in their respective allowance lists shall be carefully followed.

Supplies to be provided.

(b) In case a bureau takes the necessary steps to provide certain articles, either by purchase or by manufacture at a navy yard, the commandant of the yard where the vessel is to be fitted out shall he informed in the premises. In such case the supply officer is to follow the matter up and see that the articles are actually on hand in time for the vessel.

Articles in store to be utilized.

(c) Articles in store should he utilized as far as possible, and when articles are on hand that differ slightly from those called for by the allowance list they should be substituted therefor in cases where such substituted articles would suit the requirements equally well.

Plans of articles to be manufactured.

(d) When it has been decided as to what articles are to be manufactured the inspector at the contractor's works should be communicated with in order to obtain from him plans or other detail information necessary for their manufacture to suit the conditions on the individual vessel.

Manufactured articles.

(e) In the case of articles called for by the allowance list, which would ordinarily be assumed to be standard, but which should be manufactured especially to suit the vessel, the inspector concerned should take the initiative in informing the navy yard in regard thereto.

Requisitions for material.
C. N. R. 18.

(f) When the construction and engineer officers receive requests for manufacture from the supply officer they will make timely requests on the supply officer for all of the necessary material. As soon as such articles are completed they shall be delivered and invoiced to the supply officer, except very heavy or bulky articles, which shall remain in charge of the head of the division concerned as unfinished work under Title Z, until the ship is ready to receive them, when they shall be invoiced to the supply officer (Title Z to Title X), who shall in turn invoice them under the appropriate titles to the head of departments attached to the ship. In order that the supply officer's records may be perfected the head of the division concerned shall inform him in writing immediately upon the completion of such articles. When the repairs, alterations, or manufacturing are done at another yard the supply officer at the yard where the work is performed shall furnish this information to the supply officer at the yard where the ship is to fit out.

Articles furnished by Government.

(g) When it is necessary to obtain articles of a vessel's outfit which are to be furnished by the Government for the purpose of arranging stowage the inspector concerned should make request on the commandant of the navy yard where the vessel is to he outfitted. When standard articles are required for temporary use only they should be obtained by request from the commandant of the nearest navy yard. If the information received from the navy

--501--

yard indicates that delivery of any article desired is likely to be delayed beyond the time when such articles are required, report and recommendation in the premises should be made to the bureau concerned.

Articles added to allowance list.
C. N. R. 1, 24.

(h) For a vessel being fitted out the addition of an item to the allowance list is authority for furnishing the article. Neither the outfitting yard nor the home yard will take the initiative in furnishing an article that is added to the Allowance Lists subsequent to the date that the ship is placed in commission. In this case, unless the bureau issues specific orders, the article will not be furnished except upon ship's requisition. When a bureau approves an alteration which by its nature involves a change in a ship's allowance list, the approval shall he construed as sufficient authorization for the issue to the ship of the articles in question. In such cases the industrial department shall notify the supply officer, by letter, of the number and nature of the articles involved, together with the number and date of the bureau's letter authorizing the alteration. At the same time the industrial department shall send copies of this letter to the bureau concerned and to the ship. The bureau will then issue the formal change in the allowance list assigning a number thereto.

Boats and anchors.

(i) An approved allowance list should never be taken as authority for the manufacture of boats or the purchase of ship's anchors. The Bureau of Ships will in all cases take the necessary steps to provide the boats and ship's anchors.

Supplies to be marked and reserved.

(6) The articles for each ship on her first commission must he used only for that ship, unless otherwise specifically ordered by the Bureau of Supplies and Accounts under the instructions of the Secretary of the Navy. When received or completed, all articles shall be distinctly marked or tagged with the name of the ship.

Putting supplies on board.
C. N. R. 24.

(7) (a) Articles placed on board a new or recommissioned ship before the arrival of the officers to be charged to their care shall be delivered when directed by the commandant to the head of the department or division concerned, the supply officer to be given receipt therefor. The supply officer will expend such equipage and supplies as a charge to the vessel concerned; under Title A for a new ship, and under Titles B, C, or X in the case of a recommissioned vessel.

(b) When a vessel is built at a navy yard, the industrial department shall be regarded as the "contractor," and the head of that department shall be responsible for all the duties required of technical inspectors at private shipyards.

Completion of preparation to be reported.

(8) As articles are set aside, or reported completed, the supply officer shall note the fact upon his copy of the allowance list; and when all the articles are on hand the fact shall be reported to the Bureau of Supplies and Accounts, which shall be charged with the

duty of seeing that all articles of equipment and supplies are furnished at the proper time.

Title B or C stores of new ships.
C. N. R. 9, 19.

(9) Equipage, Title B and supplies, Title 0, which are included in the Title A construction costs of a new vessel and paid for from "Replacement of Naval Vessels" appropriations, whether "contractor furnished" or "Government furnished," shall be accounted for as prescribed in the Bureau of Supplies and Accounts Manual. In all cases the final charge for this material shall be against "Replacement of Naval Vessels" appropriations.

(10) Commanding officers of ships shall report to the bureaus concerned wherein the allowance lists are deemed to exceed or to fall short of the requirements for ordinary cruising service. Such reports shall be forwarded via official channels for comment as to the desirability of the change for other vessels and the vessels to which it should apply. The bureaus shall promptly notify those holding copies of the allowance lists of any change to be made. The latter shall make the necessary corrections in their lists, and enter abreast of the correction, over the signature of the officer in charge of the articles, the number and date of the letter authorizing the change, pasting in the back part of the book a copy of the order. Each bureau shall number its changes serially for each ship, and a record by number of all changes will be kept in front of allowance books. In navy yards the standard of reference will be the allowance book in the custody of the supply officer, and he will also have custody of and keep corrected all spare copies of allowance books.

(11) When a ship goes out of commission, all equipage and supplies, except certain Title B articles and material of restricted use and only useful to the vessel concerned or a limited class of vessels, and as designated by the bureau concerned, which will be transferred to Title G prior to decommissioning, shall be turned in and invoiced to the supply officer. The bureaus concerned shall designate the articles of equipage that are to be reserved in store for the recommissioning of the ship. When the complete outfit of a ship placed out of commission is to be kept in store in reserve it shall be stored so as to be ready for instant use.

(12) When a ship is placed out of commission, all copies of allowance lists on board shall be forwarded to the supply officer of the yard at which the vessel is placed out of commission, these copies to be returned to the ship on her being recommissioned. When the survey of the ship has been approved, the engineer officer of the yard and construction officer of the yard shall at once note any changes in vessel's allowance which they may recommend by reason of alterations to the vessel or her equipment, and forward such recommendation, with reason therefor, to the bureau concerned. The bureau concerned will act on this recom-

--503--

mendation and make revision to allowance lists, if necessary and issue these revisions to all concerned in the same manner as is done for vessels building and vessels in commission. The supply officer of the yard at which the vessel is out of commission shall keep corrected the copy of allowance list belonging to vessel's heads of department and supply officer.

(13) When a ship is to be recommissioned the course as to arrangement of outfits and allowances, requisitions, preparation, reports, etc., prescribed in this article shall be pursued.

1597

Procedure where there is no commissary store.
C. N. R. 11, 15, 19, 22.

C. N. R. 20.

(6) Commanding officers of ships shall inform the commander in chief through the administrative chain of command whenever, owing to urgency and to his remoteness, correspondence which would ordinarily pass through him is transmitted direct.
