Synopsis
Excerpt from Docking Report Manual: Guide to Fouling Organisms and Instructions Regarding the Docking Report
The Navy is devoting much time and effort to the improvement of its formulas for ship bottom paints. Because many different factors control the amount of fouling and corrosion, new formulas should not be adopted for widespread service use until they are tested under service/ conditions. Since further improvement is guided by information which can be obtained only at the time of dockimg, it is essential that the docking reports be as complete and accurate as possible. The data they contain will be summarized for statistical analysis.
This booklet was prepared to assist docking officers in filling out the present form especially in regard to estimating the ex tent of fouling, and identifying the marine life with which a ship is fouled. It is requested that particular care be taken to insure that the reports are prepared with care and submitted promptly.
