An underwater inspection of the condition of the mooring chains of the ARDM-2, USS ALAMOGORDO, moored in the Cooper River at the U.S. Naval Ammunition Depot, Charleston, S.C., was requested of the Ocean Engineering and Construction Project Office (FPO-1) and the Underwater Construction Team One (UCT-1) by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command by COMNAVFAC msg 101944Z August 1978. FPO-1 was tasked to provide the inspection criteria and procedures, provide an on-site field engineer, interpret the data and prepare the inspection report. UCT-1 was tasked with performing the underwater inspection. The mooring inspection plan is provided as Appendix 1 and the mooring inspection was completed in November 1978. This report describes the inspection procedures, inspection equipment, inspection criteria and summarizes the obtained data. Recommendations concerning the derating of the ARDM-2 mooring chains which did not meet the prescribed criteria are presented. Precautions to be followed in future inspections and potential areas are discussed.
