c.
Current system diagrams may be used as the diagrammatics for each chapter. If used, the diagrams shall be
revised to remove numbered references, revision symbols, notes that are not applicable, title blocks, and
other information extraneous to the SIB. Connection diagrams and other illustrations required for
connecting major components in a system or plant shall be used.
d.
The text shall not include detailed component operating and maintenance instructions which would
duplicate those in the system and component technical manuals, but shall instead refer to these technical
manuals for operation and maintenance. The text shall include clear instructions relating to basic
component operation to the overall system operation (see 3.8.2.1.2g) and system maintenance (see
3.8.2.1.2h). Reference to the Naval Ships' Technical Manual (NSTM) shall be made where appropriate.
3.8 Specific content requirements. The SIB shall consist of the following volumes, or parts of volumes and
parts as applicable, with the titles as indicated. For ships under 300 feet, the SIB may be bound in a single volume,
provided the titles indicated are clearly separated and indicated (for example, thumb-indexed), and width limitation
is not exceeded.
a.
Volume 1 - Hull and hull mechanical systems.
b.
Volume 2 - Machinery plant.
(1) Part 1 - Propulsion plant, general design and operating procedures.
(2) Part 2 - Auxiliary machinery, piping, air conditioning, ventilation, and heating systems.
c.
Volume 3 - Power and lighting systems.
(1) Part 1 - General description and design information of systems.
(2) Part 2 - General description of electrically operated auxiliaries.
d.
Volume 4 - Electronic systems.
e.
Volume 5 - Interior communication systems.
(1) Part 1 - Interior communication systems.
(2) Part 2 - Sound-powered telephone systems, voice tubes, and message passing facilities.
f.
Volume 6 - Weapons control systems.
g.
Volume 7 - Ballasting systems, as applicable.
3.8.1 Volume 1 hull and mechanical systems. Volume 1 of the SIB shall include a general description of the
ship's design characteristics and the major shipboard arrangements and systems. Descriptive material, lists, and
illustrations, as applicable, shall be under the appropriate section number and title. Sections shall be in numerical
sequence. Each section of the Ship Specification including all drawings and other documents developed there from
shall be carefully studied for applicable subject matter for this book. In addition, subjects such as docking and
towing, which may not be covered in the Ship Specification but for which specific information is applicable and
necessary for ship operation or maintenance, shall be included in the appropriate volume.
3.8.2 Volumes 2 through 7. Volumes 2 through 7 of the SIB shall describe ship systems, including design
functions, operations, and limitations of each system, interrelationships between systems, troubleshooting, fault-
isolation techniques, system checkout, and routine systems maintenance. General or specific information contained
in Combat Systems Technical Operations Manual (CSTOM), when prepared, the NSTM, and equipment technical
manuals, respectively, shall not be repeated in the SIB, except as necessary to fulfill the intent of the text. The
following references, if of a permanent nature, shall be provided in the text, where applicable.
a.
Reference to appropriate drawings.
b.
Reference to drawing indices, books, schedules or other manuals such as damage control book, operational
station book, schedule of watertight integrity tests and inspections, and equipment manuals.
c.
Cross references between volumes of the SIB, and between sections or chapters within a volume, shall be
included only where necessary for continuity, to assist in complete understanding of the text, and for
avoidance of repetition.
