Part I also lists the shipping code of the activity towhich an unserviceable repairable must be shipped.Part II (fig. 7-7) lists the shipping addresses ofdesignated repair activities (military and civiliancontractors) and collection points to which therepairables are to be sent.As a work center supervisor or division supplypetty officer, you must cooperate with the supplydepartment by returning replaced parts. By doing that,you will help the fleet use assets more efficiently.Afloat Shopping GuideThe Afloat Shopping Guide (ASG), NAVSUPP-4400, is another source used for identificationpurposes. It is designed to assist fleet and Navy supplysupport personnel in identifying an NSN for thoseitems of supply which do not have a part/referencenumber. Descriptions and illustrations may be used todetermine substitutions and applicable NSNs in thegeneral hardware area.The ASG consists of seven volumes containingdescriptive data and illustrations accompanied byalphabetic and NIIN indexes of the groups/classes. TheNIIN index also indicates the availability of an itemfrom the mobile logistics support forces. The ASG isupdated annually, and each volume is reissued in itsentirety every fourth year. Figure 7-8 shows a pagefrom the ASG.Coordinated Shipboard Allowance ListThe Coordinated Shipboard Allowance List(COSAL) is both a technical and a supply document. Itis technical in that nomenclature, operatingcharacteristics, technical manuals, and so forth, aredescribed in Allowance Parts Lists (APLs) andAllowance Equipage Lists (AELs). It is a supplydocument in that the COSAL provides a complete listof all parts required to operate and maintain theequipment installed at all ship/shore activities.The COSAL is prepared for individual ship/shoreactivities. It lists the following:1. Equipment or components required for theship/activity to perform its operationalassignment2. Repair parts and special tools required for theoperation, overhaul, and repair of theseequipments3. Miscellaneous portable items needed for thecare and upkeep of the ship/activityThe COSAL is based on equipment configurationdata contained in the computerized weapons systemfile (WSF) at the Ships Parts Control Center (SPCC).The WSF includes the reported equipmentconfiguration installed on each ship as well as theindividual repair parts applicable to thoseequipments. Configuration information for theCOSALmust be precise. Therefore, the initialestablishment of a configuration database must beaccurate. Thereafter, changes resulting fromadditions, deletions, or modifications of equipmentsmust be reported promptly. The quality of the COSALis only as good as the equipment configuration dataavailable to the various activities involved in itsdevelopment.7-84320-00-057-07825365-00-200-52265950-00-237-72373030-00-269-96695841-00-323-07475841-00-323-07495305-00-433-93735365-00-514-03633020-00-967-460755599556-3541-1556-012-001556556-1137556-1182556-2332556-3541556-35-1246FW160P2629834685916665241614685946859468594685901351222222222MCRL PART IINSN REF.
