サルヴォア（英語: USNS Salvor(T-ARS-52)）はアメリカ海軍のセーフガード級修理救難艦（英語版）、その名前を持つ艦船としては2代目となる。


USNS Salvor (T-ARS-52) is a Template:Sclass, the second United States Navy ship of that name.

Salvor was laid down on 16 September 1983 by Peterson Builders, Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin; launched on 28 July 1984; and commissioned on 14 June 1986.

Salvor is the third ship of the auxiliary rescue and salvage class of vessel constructed for the US Navy. The rugged construction of this steel-hulled vessel, combined with her speed and endurance, make Salvor well-suited for rescue and salvage operations throughout the world. The hull below the waterline is ice-strengthened. Her propulsion plant can develop 4200 shaft horsepower with four Caterpillar 399 diesel engines coupled in pairs to two shafts. She is fitted with a Controllable Reversible Pitch (CRP) propeller within a Kort nozzle on each shaft. The CRP propeller/Kort nozzle combination produces greater thrust and more maneuverability control than conventional propellers. Salvor is also configured with a bow thruster which provides athwartship thrust for additional control of the bow when the ship's speed is less than five knots (9 km/h).

In 1995 and again in 2000, Salvor was the United States Pacific Fleet's winner of the Marjorie Sterrett Battleship Fund Award for most battle-ready ship of her type.

USS Salvor was decommissioned and transferred to the Military Sealift Command in January 2007.[1] Salvor was redesignated as USNS Salvor (T-ARS 52).[2][3] The ship has undergone modifications for civilian crewing as well as automation and control system upgrades at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard.

Mission and capabilities

[編集]

Like all Safeguard-class rescue and salvage ships, Salvor serves as an element of the United States Navy's Combat Logistics Support Force and provides rescue and salvage services to the fleet at sea. She also supported the protection of forces ashore through post-assault salvage operations in close proximity to the shore. She is designed to perform combat salvage, lifting, towing, off-ship firefighting, manned diving operations, and emergency repairs to stranded or disabled vessels.[4][5][6]

Salvage of disabled and stranded vessels

[編集]

Disabled or stranded ships might require various types of assistance before retraction or towing can be attempted. In her 21,000立方フィート (590 m3) salvage holds,[要説明] Salvor carries transportable cutting and welding equipment, hydraulic and electric power sources, and de-watering gear. Salvor also has salvage and machine shops, and hull repair materials to effect temporary hull repairs on stranded or otherwise damaged ships.[4][5]

Retraction of stranded vessels

[編集]
Salvor and other ships towed the grounded Template:USS off a reef near Pearl Harbor, Hawaii in February 2009.[7]

Stranded vessels can be retracted from a beach or reef by the use of Salvor's towing machine and propulsion. Additional retraction force can be applied to a stranded vessel through the use of up to six legs of beach gear, consisting of 6,000-ポンド (2,700 kg) STATO anchors, wire rope, chain, and salvage buoys. In a typical configuration, two legs of beach gear are rigged on board Salvor, and up to four legs of beach are rigged to the stranded vessel.[8]

In addition to the standard legs of beach gear, Salvor carries four spring buoys. The spring buoys are carried beneath the port and starboard bridge wings and are painted bright orange.[9] Each spring buoy weighs approximately 3,100ポンド (1,400 kg), is 10フィート (3.0 m) long and 6フィート (1.8 m) in diameter, provides a net buoyancy of 7½ tons, and can withstand 125 tons of pull-through force.[8] The spring buoys are used with beach gear legs rigged from a stranded vessel when deep water is found seaward of the stranded vessel.

Salvor's propulsion machinery provides a bollard pull (towing force at zero speed and full power) of 68 tons.[28][29]

The centerpiece of Salvor's towing capability is an Almon A. Johnson Series 322 double-drum automatic towing machine. Each drum carries 3,000フィート (910 m) of 2+1⁄4-インチ-diameter (57 mm) drawn galvanized, 6X37 right-hand lay, wire-rope towing hawsers, with closed zinc-poured sockets on the bitter end. The towing machine uses a system to automatically pay-in and pay-out the towing hawser to maintain a constant strain.[28][29]

The automatic towing machine also includes a Series 400 traction winch that can be used with synthetic line towing hawsers up to 14 inches in circumference. The winch has automatic payout but only manual recovery.[28][29]

The Salvor's caprail is curved to fairlead and prevent chafing of the towing hawser. It includes two vertical stern rollers to tend the towing hawser directly aft and two Norman pin rollers to prevent the towing hawser from sweeping forward of the beam at the point of tow. The stern rollers and Norman pins are raised hydraulically and can withstand a lateral force of 50,000ポンド (23,000 kg) at mid barrel.[28]

Two tow bows provide a safe working area on the fantail during towing operations.[28]

Manned diving operations

[編集]

Salvor has several diving systems to support different types of operations. Divers descend to diving depth on a diving stage that is lowered by one of two powered davits.

The diving locker is equipped with a double-lock hyperbaric chamber that can be used for recompression after deep dives or for the treatment of divers suffering from decompression sickness.[24]

The MK21 MOD1 diving system supports manned diving to depths of 190フィート (58 m) on surfaced-supplied air. A fly-away mixed gas system can be used to enable the support of diving to a maximum depth of 300フィート (91 m).[24]

The MK20 MOD0 diving system allows-surface supplied diving to a depth of 60フィート (18 m) with lighter equipment.[24]

Salvor carries SCUBA equipment for dives that require greater mobility than is possible in tethered diving.[24]

Mines

[編集]

Naval mine laying and recovery.[10][21][22]

Recovery of submerged objects

[編集]

In addition to her two main ground tackle anchors (6,000-ポンド (2,700 kg) Navy standard stockless or 8,000-ポンド (3,600 kg) balanced-fluke anchors) Salvor can use equipment associated with her beach gear to lay a multi-point open water moor to station herself for diving and ROV operations.[5]

A typical four-point-moor consists of an X pattern with four Stato Anchors at the outside corners and Salvor at the center, made fast to a spring buoy for the close end of each mooring leg with synthetic mooring lines. Using her capstans, Salvor can shorten or lengthen the mooring line for each leg and change her position within the moor.[30]

As built, Salvor had a 7.5-ton capacity boom on a forward kingpost. However, the kingpost and boom were removed and replaced by a 10,000-pound deck crane in 2011.[31] She has 40-ton capacity boom on her aft kingpost.[24][29][32]

Heavy Lift

[編集]

Salvor has heavy lift system that consists of large bow and stern rollers, deck machinery, and tackle. The rollers serve as low-friction fairlead for the wire rope or chain used for the lift. The tackle and deck machinery provide up to 75 tons of hauling for each lift. The two bow rollers can be used together with linear hydraulic pullers to achieve a dynamic lift of 150 tons. The stern rollers can be used with the automatic towing machine to provide a dynamic lift of 150 tons. All four rollers can be used together for a dynamic lift of 300 tons[24] or a static tidal lift of 350 tons.[33]

Salvor also has two auxiliary bow rollers, which can support of 75 ton lift when used together.[24]

Off-ship fire-fighting

[編集]

Salvor has three manually operated fire monitors, one on the forward signal bridge, one on the aft signal bridge, and one on the forecastle, that can deliver up to 1000 gallons per minute of seawater or aqueous film forming foam (AFFF).[24] When originally built, Salvor had a fourth remotely controlled fire monitor mounted on her forward kingpost,[4] but this was later removed. Salvor has a 3600-gallon foam tank.[29]

Emergency ship salvage material

[編集]

In addition to the equipment carried by Salvor, the US Navy Supervisor of Salvage maintains a stock of additional emergency fly-away salvage equipment that can be deployed aboard the salvage ships to support a wide variety of rescue and salvage operations.[34][35]

Operational accomplishments

[編集]
Assisting search and rescue efforts after the sinking of ROKS Cheonan

Between 1987 and 2001, Salvor has provided rescue or assistance to ships at sea in seven instances. Two cases involved collisions near Hawaii: the Template:USNS boat accident in August 1987,[10][36] and the collision of Template:USS with Ehime Maru in February 2001.[22][37][38] Salvor also assisted in the Exxon Houston grounding near Barbers Point, Hawaii, in March 1989,[11][39] and the Kamalu barge fire in May 1989.[11] On three occasions, Salvor has assisted a ship at sea that has suffered a catastrophic equipment loss: recovering the primary towing pendant of the ex-Template:USS/Template:USNS in January 1995,[17] the anchor chain of the Template:USS in February 1995,[17] and the towed sonar array of the Template:USS in June 1996.[40] The ship was also involved in the rescue effort after the sinking of ROKS Cheonan.[41]

During the same time, Salvor participated in seven sea-recoveries of submerged military aircraft, including an A-6E Intruder (VA-145) in Puget Sound, Washington,[12] a UH-46D Sea Knight from a world-record depth[42] of 17,251フィート (5,258 m)[14] near Wake Island,[14] a SH-60 Seahawk, an F/A-18C Hornet (VFA-22) near San Diego,[15][17] and two United States Air Force F-16 Falcons in Korean waters and the Sea of Japan.[43][44]

Other salvage operations undertaken by Salvor include repairing the propeller blades of Template:HMAS,[12] repairing the hull of Template:BRP,[45] recovering a LARC-V amphibious vehicle,[46] recovering and disposing of a 1,000-ポンド (450 kg) Mark 83 bomb,[46] pumping out oil leaking from the wreck of Template:USS,[24] and exploring the wreck of the Template:USS in the Gulf of Thailand.[47]

Operational history as USS Salvor

[編集]

Maiden voyage

[編集]
Official US Navy photo of USS Salvor in early configuration.

Salvor departed Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin on her first voyage on 25 July 1986. She visited Sault Ste Marie, Michigan, before conducting diving operations for certification in Lake Superior. During the first part of August she made stops in Toronto, Quebec, and Halifax. After departing Halifax, she was diverted to New York City because of Hurricane Charlie. She arrived at Little Creek, Virginia and 21 August 1986 and received her ammunition loadout. Her next stop was Charleston, South Carolina, where she took a single navy harbor tug (ex-Template:USS) in tow.[4]

Salvor arrived at Beaumont, Texas, on 4 September where she had to wait out Hurricane Danielle for several days before she was able to get underway and take three additional vessels, two World War II vintage auxiliary tugs (ex-Template:USS and ex-Template:USS), and an auxiliary fleet tug (ex-Template:USS), in tow at the mouth of the Sabine River. From there, Salvor towed the four vessels in a "Christmas tree" rig to Christobol, Panama, arriving on 21 September. Salvor transited the canal, and re-rigged her tows again in Rodman, Panama and departed for San Diego, California on 26 September. After a brief stop at San Diego, Salvor continued with the four towed vessels, and arrived at her home port of Pearl Harbor for the first time on 1 November.[4]

Salvor spent the remainder of 1986 in or around Pearl Harbor, conducting training, validations, and trials.[4]

Training and local operations

[編集]

After holiday upkeep, Salvor began 1987 with an underway shakedown cruise. During the shakedown cruise, Salvor and Template:USS collided during tow and be towed exercises. The collision caused only minor damage and no injuries. Following shakedown training, Salvor conducted diving operations from 26 to 30 January.[10]

Salvor devoted February 1987 to a full power run, a VERTREP, target towing for Tactical Fighter Wing 419, Template:HMCS, and Template:HMCS. Along with Template:USS, she supported SEAL operations from 17 to 20 February.[10]

During early March, Salvor Conducted a de-beaching exercise with the salvage training hulk ex-Template:USS, a bow lift exercise with a mud monster. Salvor then entered a series of maintenance availabilities and in-port training exercises, followed by more local operations including target towing for Template:USS, support of submarine operations near Kauai, search and rescue operations for a USS Safeguard boating accident, and off-ship firefighting training with ex-Buckeye.[10]

First Western Pacific deployment

[編集]

Salvor departed Pearl Harbor for her first WESTPAC deployment on 6 September 1987. She was to accompany the tank-landing ship Template:USS which would tow three minesweepers, Template:USS, Template:USS, and Template:USS to Subic Bay. Salvor returned to Pearl Harbor to first to onload parts for Conquest and later with USS Conquest in tow, after a collision between Conquest and Barbour County. After more delays because of casualties aboard Conquest, Salvor departed Pearl Harbor again on 26 September 1987. After a fuel stop at Kwajaelein, Salvor arrived at Subic Bay, Philippines, on 16 October 1987.[10]

Salvor visited Hong Kong and returned to Subic Bay where she took two floating drydock sections (Template:USS and AFDB-2E) in tow. On 25 November she fueled at sea from Template:USS. Salvor conducted more at-sea fueling with Template:USS and passed ADFB-1B to Brunswick on 11 December. Salvor arrived at Pearl Harbor on 18 December with ADFB-2E in tow, and began a holiday leave and upkeep period.[10]

1988 was an uneventful year for Salvor. She spent much of the year in maintenance availability periods, undergoing various training exercises and engineering inspections, and dealing with repairs related to a troublesome design flaw with her port shaft. Salvor was awarded the Battle "E", Green "C", and "DC" awards. However, she did participate in classified special operations from 19 April to 18 May and again from 18 June to 11 July.[48]

Pearl Harbor salvage operations and Southern Pacific deployment

[編集]

Salvor visited Kaunakakai, Molokai in January 1989 before returning to Pearl Harbor to conduct salvage training and diving operations in February and March. Salvor participated in de-beaching operations when the oil tanker Exxon Houston broke free of her mooring buoy and ran aground near Barbers Point, Hawaii, on 2 March.[49] Salvor was awarded a Meritorious Unit Commendation for her participation in the salvage of Exxon Houston.[11]

Salvor was again called into action for real-world non-military salvage operations when the barge Kamalu caught fire while adrift off the Wainai coast on 20 May. Salvor battled the fire aboard Kamalu for 16 hours.[11][50]

Later that month, Salvor towed the decommissioned repair ship Template:USS between 16 and 20 May as part of a synthetic line towing experiment and supported an MK48 torpedo exercise between 21 May and 2 June.[11]

On 19 June, Salvor departed for a SOUTHPAC deployment. During that deployment, she visited the following ports:[11]

Salvor departed Bremerton on 1 November and stopped for a port visit at Portland, Oregon from 5 to 9 November before returning to Pearl Harbor, where she spent the remainder of 1994 in maintenance and holiday upkeep.[16]

Emergent salvage tasks, the Bering Strait, and dry dock

[編集]

Salvor departed Pearl Harbor on 17 January 1995 to rendezvous with Template:USNS and her tow, ex-Template:USS after the primary tow pendant parted. Salvor recovered the tow pendant including 180 feet of chain, before Navajo entered Pearl Harbor, and thereby prevented damage to submerged cables in Pearl Harbor.[17]

Salvor conducted salvage training exercises with the salvage hulk ex-Tunica, including beach-gear retractions and at-sea firefighting from 30 January to 3 February 1995. She was supporting diving operations for master diver evaluations in the waters off Reef Runway at the Honolulu airport on 6 January 1995, when Template:USS lost an anchor and 10 shots of chain over the side in a depth of 170 feet. Salvor recovered the anchor and chain the following day and returned them Pearl Harbor before departing diver training at Molokini crater and a brief visit to Lahaina, Maui on 9 February 1995. She conducted a dependent's cruise during her return transit to Pearl Harbor on 10 February 1995.[17]

Salvor was underway near Pearl Harbor from 21 to 22 February 1995 in support of a special project code-named Cluster CERES, which was related to a technique for passively locating radar transmitters near land and using them to create accurate maps.[17][54]
