comes aboard ship to install configuration changes
is required to give you, either by magnetic tape
or a hard copy, a completed CCF.
UPDATE THE WEAPONS SYSTEM
FILE
The WSF is maintained at SPCC, Mechanics-
burg, Pennsylvania. The SPCC has a master
record of equipment and components installed on
each ship. The WSF is a duplicate of every ship’s
COSAL. This is a most vital record for each ship
and you must submit all configuration changes
to the SPCC as they occur. If you fail to update
the WSF, you can end up with reduced supply
support for the needed repair parts. This is an
important file for your COSAL.
COSAL MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTION AND RECORDS
A ship’s instruction should be prepared listing
procedures for maintaining the ship’s COSAL and
COSAL maintenance records. Appendix B of the
COSAL Use and Maintenance Manual provides
a sample COSAL maintenance instruction that
includes the suggested format for a COSAL
maintenance checkoff list and record log. The
checkoff list and record log should be maintained
to ensure a complete audit trail of all COSAL
maintenance actions. Each change to any part of
the COSAL should reference a COSAL main-
tenance action identification number. This
file should be maintained in two sections,
one for completed actions and one for out-
standing actions. Using the audit trail, you
will be able to personally review the COSAL
maintenance records routinely at least once
a week.
SCREENING REQUIREMENTS
A ship’s COSAL is designed to support the
majority of unscheduled corrective maintenance
requirements and PMS requirements. Each issue
request for a repair part that is not included in
the COSAL should be examined closely. Once it
has been verified that a requested item is not
carried (NC) by the supply department (that
is, the item does not appear on the integrated
stock list [ISL] and a stock record does not
exist), then the COSAL Indexes and APLs
should be examined to find out whether
or not the equipment itself is COSAL sup-
ported.
CASREP REQUIREMENT
When a repair part is identified as a CASREP
requirement, the work center supervisor and
supply support supervisor will perform the
screening requirements and provide the requiring
department with data specified in Navy Warfare
Publication 10-1-10. The following data must be
verified:

* For a not in stock (NIS) item give a reason (for
example, issued on 9051, lost by inventory,
transferred, and so forth).
* For a not carried (NC) item give a reason (for
example, equipment not supported, source,
maintenance code, and so forth).
The above information must be used to fulfill
the requirements of paragraph FOXTROT of the
CASREP message and to complete the supply
CASREP REQN message. CAUTION: Investi-
gate NIS/NC conditions thoroughly before
reporting a CASREP part not on board. See
figure 2-9 for supply requirement for CASREP
reporting.
PROCESSING A CONFIGURATION
ADD TO THE COSAL
When a new piece of equipment is installed
or some kind of modification is made to existing
equipment that is on board, but not supported
by the COSAL, submit a CCF. Upon submitting
the CCF, you should take the actions that are
discussed in the following paragraphs.
Validation of Equipment
The first step in processing an addition to the
COSAL is validation. You must make sure the
