FOREWORD

1.  This standard is approved for use by the Naval Sea Systems Command, Department of the Navy and is available for use by all Departments and Agencies of the Department of Defense.

2.  This standard disseminates up-to-date information detailing requirements for standard installation methods (non-fiber optic cable) employed for submarine and surface ship electrical distribution systems.  Utilize MIL-STD-2042 (Fiber Optic Cable Topology Installation Standard Methods for Naval Ships) for detailed information and guidance involving the installation of fiber optic cable on Naval surface ships and submarines.

3.  These criteria apply to work on a specific ship or ships only when invoked by the Ship Specifications or similar contractual documents.

4.  These criteria are for application to new construction, conversion, and alteration of existing ships.

5.  Considering the magnitude of this standard, along with the changing requirements imposed on the Electric Plant, it is inevitable that changes will be required to update these criteria.  Therefore, as comments arise, they should be forwarded to Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) 05Z3 to keep this standard as current as possible through subsequent revisions.  Revisions will be accomplished by the issuance of additional or revised figures to be inserted in the basic standard parts.  Superseded pages may be retained for reference if so desired.
