Hawaii Section Paper Describes

Computerized Ship Overhauls

Joint Agency To Consolidate

MTMTS Activities And

Military Sealift Command

Deputy Secretary of Defense David Packard has directed the Secretaries of the Army and

Navy to submit a joint plan to consolidate activi- ties of the Military Sealift Command (MSC) and the Military Traffic Management and Termi- nal Service (MTMTS) in a single new jointly- staffed agency.

The new agency, which has not yet been named, will report to the Secretary of Defense through the Secretary of the Army, and except for intra- theater land transportation in overseas areas, will be the single manager for DoD surface trans- portation worldwide.

Reductions in operational costs will include establishment of a single computer system for all surface movements and thus, elimination of the present multi-systems worldwide, and consolida- tion of industrial funds with consequent reduction in overhead and simplification of billing to the military shippers.

The Navy will retain responsibility for operat- ing Government-owned and certain chartered

The Hawaii Section of The Society of Naval

Architects and Marine Engineers enjoyed a pre-dinner cocktail hour before its February meeting at the Ala Moana Banquet Hall, Hon- olulu.

The technical presentation by Capt. J.C.

McArthur, USN, and J.T. Geeb outlined "A

Ship's Force Overhaul Management System

Utilizing A Time-Shared Computer." Comdr.

Clinton Kreitner, papers chairman, introduced the authors.

Captain McArthur conducted the first half of the presentation and described the problems facing the ship's force upon commencing a yard overhaul. Until the described system was developed. Navy Yard overhauls did not bene- fit from efficient utilization of the ship's force to accomplish elements of the overhaul within their capabilities. Computerized control of the costly, complex and sophisticated nature of large carrier overhauls led to the development of the system by Captain McArthur and Mr.

Geeb. They felt that medium and smaller ships could also benefit from such computer central and have used their system in recent overhauls at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard.

Mr. Geeb's part of the presentation dealt with the computer program itself, and he de- scribed how a BASIC Time-Sharing Compu- ter (used by Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard) is well-suited for the task. Mr. Geeb demon- strated the use of a briefcase-sized teletype unit which can be operated from any telephone by a dataphone hookup, thus making its use feasible for a small vessel. Recent Navy Fleet

Tug overhauls at Pearl Harbor proved the economies of the system, with $1-million over- hauls controlled by about $800 total computer costs. The Fleet Tug commanding officers were enthusiastic about the demonstrated value of the system.

Following the presentation of the paper, the session closed after comments and discussion by Rear Adm. David Jackson, Fleet Mainte- nance Officer, Staff, Cincpacflt/Comservpac.
