1. SCOPE

1.1 Intent. This standard specification invokes general requirements for conducting vessel repairs performed at a commercial contractor’s facility for Coast Guard vessels.

1.2 Term interchangeability. The terms 'Contractor', 'CG Yard', 'NAVSTA EVERETT', 'shipyard', 'Base', and 'Coast Guard Industrial' are used interchangeably in this specification. Where the primary service provider is Coast Guard personnel, references to contractor and other noted descriptors within this specification or within drawings, publications, SFLC Standard Specifications or other commercial and military references are deemed the same as prime service provider.
