PURPOSE The purpose of this publication is to provide the user with a readyreference of messages and supporting tables commonly used at sea. SCOPE The contents of EXTAC 1006 relates to tactical command, control, coordination and information dissemination. In order to avold duplication and differences between publications, normally only such material will be incorporated in EXTAC 1006 that can be removed from the original parent publication. Consequently, material that cannot be removed from the parent publication (e.g. which would be used by non-holders of EXTAC 1006) will normally be incorporated. Messages of a training nature will not be incorporated. INCORPORATION OF MESSAGES AND SUPPORTING TABLES The Maritime Tactical Working Party is the control authority for EXTAC 1006 on behalf of MAS and will review biennially all proposed changes. PREPARATION OF MATERIAL SUBMITTED E”oR INCLUSION IN EYCTAC 1006 a. Any authority wishing to have material incor porated should submit their proposal to MAS Naval Board for consideration by the Maritime Tactical Working Party. b. LAYOUT Layout and accuracy are on originator's responsibility. All submissions must be in final form, ready for reproduction. The layout will largely depend on its contents and nature. Messages should be supported by an example. DEFXNITION Structured Message A "Structured Message" is composed of standardised paragraphs ordered in a specified sequence, with each paragraph given an identifier and containing information in free form. It will normally be used and read by people rather than machines. UNCLASSIFIED 1006 - III ORIGINAL (REVERSE BLANK) UNCLASSIFIED EXTAC 1006 RECORD OF CHANGE~ CNANGECHANGE 3 CHANGE 4 CHANGE 5 UNCLASSIFIED 1006 - IV ORIGINAL (fEVERSE BLANK) - EXTAC 1006 1100. purpose and type a. purposeThe MTMS consists of standardized messages and may (1) To convey operational instructions or intentions. (2) To pass operational information to tactical Coammanders at sea. (3) To report operational information between Commanders and from subordinate higher formations. (4) To notify organizations of impending and actual opera- tions of units engaged in maritime warfare. b. types. The following message types are used in the MTMS. (1) OPGM - Operational General Matters - general matters of policy, instructions and aspects common to all forma of warfare and detailed instructions for warfare responsi- bilities retained by the OTC. (2) OPTASK - Operational Tasking - detailed information for specific aspects within individual areas of warfare and for the tasking of resources. (3) OPSTAT - Operational Status - aspects of information exchange, particularly reporting of operational status. 1101. Application And Description a. TbE 0pgen will normally be originated by the OTC, while OPTASKs may be originated by the OTC, or specific Warfare Commanders/Coordinators when delegated. The OPSTATs will be originated by the authorities making status reports. b. The MTMS permits promulgation of a comprehensive range of instructions and informAtion and also serves as an originator's "Aide-mEmoire*. It is designed to be flexible and provides: (1) A "Stand-None" OPGEN for sMAll scale operations. (2) An OPGEn amplified as necessary by OPTASK messages for larger scale operationa. (3) A means to issue changes covering additions, deletions, and amendments to previously promulgated messages. VNCWSfFfED 1006 - 1 - 1 ORIGINAL UNCLASSIFIED EXTAC 1006 C. Messages are presented as follows: (1) A statement of purpose (2) A brief summary of section titles (3) General instructions (4) Structure, including section details and examples. d. Messages are structured so that the contents of their component sections appear in free text, or in established sequences which are repeatable and may be amplified as required. Each section is prefixed by an alpha-numeric identifier and self explanatory abbreviation. 1102. DRafTing instructions 8. The alpha-numeric identifier is followed by a slant, self-explanatory abbreviation, a further slant and text. Each section, with its associated identifier, abbreviation and text is to be started on a new line. e.g. B4/AAWPICK/.... BS/NADGE/...... b. Readability may be improved by indenting the second and subsequent lines after the self explanatory abbreviation. a. Free Text. Free text sections appear as shown in the example: e.g. Dl/MISSION/DETER OPPONENT FROM LANDING PRIOR TO THE COMMENCEMENTOF HOSTILITIES. LOCATE ALL OPPOSING FORCES IN THE VICINITY OF AREA BRAVO. AT GENERAL ALERT, DESTROY OPPOSING AMPHIBIOUS FORCES PRIOR TO DEBARKATION. IF LANDINGS HAVE COMMENCED, ENGAGE ALL OPPOSING SUPPORT FORCES IN AREA BRAVO. d. Established Sequence. There are two methods of presenting an established sequence: (1) In which bl ocks of required information are separated by slants. Within blocks of information required items are separated by periods, spaces, hyphens, etc., but not by a slant. In addition, slants are not to bt used for- abbreviations such as N/A, A/C, etc. These must be written as NA, AC, etc. or words written out. To ensurt that the required sequence of specifitd information is maintained, hyphens are to be entered where there is no information except as exempted in the detailed instructions, or if it is clear that the correct sequence will not be lost. e.g. B4/AAWPICK/BRISTOL/R6F/36OZZ8O UNCLASSIFIED 1006 - 1 - 2 ORIGINAL UNCLASSIFIED EXTAC 1006 (2) Items of required information and their sequence as specified in the appropriate instructions for each section are identified by paragraph and subparagraph numbering. This presentation produces longer messages than using slant separation. e.g. B4/AAWPICK/ (1) BRISTOL (2) R6F (3) 3602280 l . Amplifying a Sequence (1) In sequences using slants, elements may be amplified by inserting the appropriate text after the elemtnt, separated by a dash. In amplifying an entire sequence, appropriate text may be inserted at the end, separated from the last element by a slant. e.g. E4/SAFESECT/GOLF/VICTOR LIMA/100 NM NORMALLY FROM 18200021 TO 18220023 150 NM/235M/l0/ FLlOO/DISESTABLISHED 22000125. (2) The same principle applies when using paragraph and subparagraph numbering. Amplifying text is separated by a dash. However, the entire sequence is amplified by using the next paragraph number. e.g. E4/SAFESECT/ (1) GOLF (2) VICTOR LIMA (3) 100 NM NORMALLY-FROM 18200021 TO 18220023 150 NM (4) 235M (5) 10 (6) FL 100 (7) DISESTABLISHED 22000125 f. Repeating Sequence (1) Sequences using slants may be repeated as follows: (a) Continuous repetition of the sequtnct without separation. In the interest of readability, this is only to be used for short sequences requiring little repetition. e.g.B3/SURFAAW/KIDD/GOLF/OOOZZ3O/ROGERS/GOLF ALFA/120zZ1O/BROADSWORD/GOLF BRAVO/ 2402210 UNCLASSIFIED 1006 - 1 - 3 ORIGINAL UNCLASSIFIED EXTAC 1006 - (b) Repeating the alphanumeric identifier and self explanatory abbreviations on a different line for each sequence.--- This is appropriatt for lengthy sequences. While the length of messages may be increased, readability is improved. e.g. Gl/EMCON/ALFA/A-14E-l8A-4OP-66U- 81UV-82A-90EB-B-14E-4OP-5lP-68U-82H- 90EB-L-lOU-40P-60U-8OM-84U Gl/EMCON/BRAVO/A-lOU;3OU-6OU-8OU-B-1OU- 20U-40P-60U-80U-L-10E-2OE-4OP-85U (cl Repeating the sequence on a new lint without an alpha-numeric identifier and self explanatory abbreviation.

  • Maritime Orientation Package
    MARITIME ORIENTATION PACKAGE Port Nelson 1 MARITIME ORIENTATION PACKAGE Introduction This ‘Maritime Orientation Package’ will introduce the complex Maritime industry to Health Protection Officers (HPOs) who may have to implement and apply health measures within it. Background New Zealand Public Health Units are designated as ‘competent authorities’ by the World Health Organisation for ensuring maritime Points of Entry (POE) comply with the standards required by the International Health Regulations (2005) (IHR) and the International Maritime Organisation. Most New Zealand Public Health Units have a Maritime POE in their region. The Maritime Environment comprises many unique factors and has its own language rich with acronyms. For a HPO to be competent and feel confident working in the maritime environment they need a basic understanding of: • Vessel Types – their purpose and the possible public health issues associated with them. • The layout of a ship – where to go and what to look for. • Maritime Terminology – communication with the personnel on board and dockside in the lexicon. • The sequence a vessel follows upon entering NZ waters and the ensuing processes; o gaining pratique, o berthing, o discharging and loading cargo, o replenishment of food and water, o refuelling, and o departure for another jurisdiction, and • The suite of documents that ships maintain to show that management practices on board comply with international regulations and requirements. Purpose The purpose of this orientation package is to familiarise HPOs with some background information that will enable them to be able to confidently conduct their duties at the port. The package is in three parts; • maritime terminology, • an illustrated compendium of ship types that might be encountered in NZ waters, and • a schematic showing the layout of a ship.

  • The Liberty Ships of World War Ii
    THE LIBERTY SHIPS OF WORLD WAR II Their Union County and Other Carolina Connections by Bill Lee Dedicated to the men of the American Merchant Marine and the United States Naval Armed Guard who sailed in harm’s way in Liberty Ships during World War II … …and who did not return. 2 ~ INTRODUCTION ~ America’s wartime merchant fleet made one of the more important contributions to victory in World War II. An all-volunteer civilian workforce of Merchant Mariners sailed thousands of vessels in harm’s way throughout that global conflict. These men paid a high price for their success, suffering the highest casualty rate of any service. Without their support, our armed forces could not have even gotten overseas, much less been properly supplied as they fought their way to victory. A major element of America’s wartime merchant fleet was a huge class of vessels known as the Liberty Ships. More Liberty Ships were built than any other class of sea-going vessels in the history of the world. Numbering 2,710, they were all mass-produced in less than five years. This astounding accomplishment took place in the middle of a world war that placed extreme demands on the capabilities of the United States and its allies. Not only did the men and women of America build Liberty Ships at an unprecedented rate, they also first constructed entire new shipyards for the sole purpose of building Liberty Ships. One of these shipyards was in North Carolina. Two others were built and successfully operated by Charlotteans who had no prior experience in shipbuilding.

  • Cable Layer JOSEPH HENRY - NNS Hull #114
    ONE OF A KIND… …and ONE HUNDRED-PLUS YEARS OLD Cable Layer JOSEPH HENRY - NNS Hull #114 On May 7, 1908, the Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS) entered into a contract with the U.S. War Department to build a small cable laying vessel. It was NNS’ first and only experience with the construction of such a ship. That lack of experience, coupled with her unusual design resulted in the shipyard suffering a financial loss. But as the company’s motto states, regardless of profit or loss “Always Good Ships” and now, over a hundred years later, the JOSEPH HENRY remains afloat and virtually unchanged when delivered on March 31, 1909. A modest-sized vessel, she measures slightly over 167 feet in length and has a beam of 32 feet. Her displacement is 800 tons; a fraction of the size of the vessels that NNS currently designs and builds. Two coal-fired boilers and a pair of compound reciprocating engines provided a total of 1,000 SHP, which allowed her two, four-bladed propellers to achieve a top speed of 11.3 knots. In order to provide good maneuverability during cable-laying in confined waters, she was also fitted with twin rudders. Fairly elaborate guards to help prevent cables from being entangled with her propellers were also included in her design, as this photo taken following a 2007 bottom cleaning (and before final underwater hull painting) indicates. The JOSEPH HENRY was built for the Submarine Cable Service of the U.S. Army Signal Corps. Her initial duties included laying cables for the army’s fire control systems at coastal fortifications in New York Harbor and elsewhere along the Eastern Coast of the United States and in the Gulf of Mexico.
