SINGAPORE -- The two-week maintenance period was the first CMAV conducted away from the 7th Fleet maintenance hub in Yokosuka, Japan. During the availability, Shiloh’s crew and shipyard personnel completed more than 90 maintenance jobs and nearly 400 other jobs by ship’s force personnel, including a gas turbine generator change-out, repairs to the ship’s damage control systems, and multiple welding upgrades on brackets and fixtures.
“By conducting this availability here in Singapore, we are expanding our ability to conduct planned maintenance outside Japan and decreasing the overall work overload,” said Cmdr. Fernando Maldonado, Assistant Chief of Staff for Maintenance at COMLOG WESTPAC/Task Force 73. “This maintenance availability is a great step forward in developing an agile expeditionary maintenance posture for forward deployed ships operating in the region.”
The synchronization between the ship’s crew, contractors, and maintenance staff at COMLOG WESTPAC was critical for the success of Shiloh’s availability in Singapore. The ship’s crew remained engaged throughout the maintenance period and provided critical support for shipyard personnel and maintainers. The goal was to support Shiloh with important repairs and upgrades, allowing the forward deployed ship to resume her busy operational schedule on time.
