Part I also lists the shipping code of the activity to
which an unserviceable repairable must be shipped.
Part II (fig. 7-7) lists the shipping addresses of
designated repair activities (military and civilian
contractors) and collection points to which the
repairables are to be sent.
As a work center supervisor or division supply
petty officer, you must cooperate with the supply
department by returning replaced parts. By doing that,
you will help the fleet use assets more efficiently.
Afloat Shopping Guide
The Afloat Shopping Guide (ASG), NAVSUP
P-4400, is another source used for identification
purposes. It is designed to assist fleet and Navy supply
support personnel in identifying an NSN for those
items of supply which do not have a part/reference
number. Descriptions and illustrations may be used to
determine substitutions and applicable NSNs in the
general hardware area.
The ASG consists of seven volumes containing
descriptive data and illustrations accompanied by
alphabetic and NIIN indexes of the groups/classes. The
NIIN index also indicates the availability of an item
from the mobile logistics support forces. The ASG is
updated annually, and each volume is reissued in its
entirety every fourth year. Figure 7-8 shows a page
from the ASG.
Coordinated Shipboard Allowance List
The Coordinated Shipboard Allowance List
(COSAL) is both a technical and a supply document. It
is technical in that nomenclature, operating
characteristics, technical manuals, and so forth, are
described in Allowance Parts Lists (APLs) and
Allowance Equipage Lists (AELs). It is a supply
document in that the COSAL provides a complete list
of all parts required to operate and maintain the
equipment installed at all ship/shore activities.
The COSAL is prepared for individual ship/shore
activities. It lists the following:
1. Equipment or components required for the
ship/activity to perform its operational
assignment
2. Repair parts and special tools required for the
operation, overhaul, and repair of these
equipments
3. Miscellaneous portable items needed for the
care and upkeep of the ship/activity
The COSAL is based on equipment configuration
data contained in the computerized weapons system
file (WSF) at the Ships Parts Control Center (SPCC).
The WSF includes the reported equipment
configuration installed on each ship as well as the
individual repair parts applicable to those
equipments. Configuration information for the
COSAL must be precise. Therefore, the initial
establishment of a configuration database must be
accurate. Thereafter, changes resulting from
additions, deletions, or modifications of equipments
must be reported promptly. The quality of the COSAL
is only as good as the equipment configuration data
available to the various activities involved in its
development.
