AMMUNITION STOCK RECORD
The ammunition stock record (or ledger) is a fleet unit’s master record of all ammunition stocks held, as well as a record of past transactions and inventories held The ledger consists of a master stock record card (MSRC) for each NALC or DODIC held by the unit and an ammunition lot or serial/location card for each different lot or serial number. Master Stock Record Card The MSRC (fig. 2-9) serves as a record of the total number of rounds of a certain NALC/DODIC held by the unit in each condition code. The MSRC is also used to record information identifying each transaction and the total quantity of ammunition ordered, received, transferred; or expended.

Ammunition Lot/Location Card The ammunition lot/location card (fig. 2-10) is used to record the quantity and stowage location of an individual lot of ammunition. Transaction information is also recorded on this card but only for transactions concerning the lot listed. Ammunition Serial/Location Card The ammunition serial location card (fig. 2-11) is used to account for serialized items, such as missiles and torpedoes. Each card accounts for one item. In addition to maintaining an accurate inventory, these cards are used to record the maintenance-due date of the item covered The maintenance-due date indicates the date the item must be turned in to a weapons facility for inspection and any required maintenance. Your ammunition ledger will most likely contain all three of these record cards. You will have one MSRC for each NALC and DODIC carried. These will be arranged in NALC/DODIC alphanumeric order in a binder or cabinet. Under each MSRC is an ammunition lot or serial number location card for each lot or serial-numbered item carried by NALC/DODIC. As ammunition is ordered, received, transferred, or expended, it is recorded on the cards. First, the total number of rounds involved is entered on the MSRC for that particular NALC/DODIC. The total number is then broken down by lot or serial number, and each different number is entered on the appropriate location card All entries are to be made in ink or typed These cards are required to be retained for a minimum of 1 year after the item is expended or transferred. The cards in the ammunition ledger contain much more information than what has been presented here. Chapter 12 of SPCCINST 8010.12 provides detailed guidance on the makeup and maintenance of the ammunition ledger. AMMUNITION TRANSACTION REPORTS (ATRs) Each time a piece of ammunition is expended, transferred, received, or changes condition code, an ammunition transaction report (ATR) must be submitted to update CAIMS. This report is normally required to be done within 24 hours of the event. ATRs are sent by naval message according to the instructions listed in SPCCINST 8010.12, chapter 8. A copy of each ATR message is maintained in a file and kept with the ledger. The ledger and the ATR file must match 100 percent. AMMUNITION REQUISITIONS Fleet units requisition all nonnuclear ordnance using the Military Standard Requisitioning and Issuing Procedures (MILSTRIP) format in a naval message.

MILSTRIP relies upon coded data for processing requisitions by means of automatic data processing equipment. Each ship is provided with an ammunition allowance list of one form or another, depending on its status/mission. The ship-fall allowance list is the one you will be primarily concerned with. It lists the ammunition types and quantities authorized for issue in support of the mission of the ship. This list includes the training allowance. All ammunition requisitions must be made with the allowance list in mind. Training allowance increases may be requested. At this writing, ammunition recording, requisitioning, and reporting are in the process of being automated throughout the fleet. The ordnance manager will maintain his or her ledger and generate requisitions and ATRs all from the same computer terminal. The format, however, will remain the same. There are many requirements and special instructions involved in the preparation of an ammunition requisition. The mechanics of requisitioning ammunition are well beyond the scope of this manual. Refer to chapter 8 of SPCCINST 8010.12 for detailed information concerning ammunition MILSTRIP requisitions. Your supply officer and the ships Storekeepers (Sks) are also excellent sources of expertise concerning requisitions

SHIPBOARD AMMUNITION INSPECTION LEARNING OBJECTIVE Recall the requirements, procedures, and information sources governing magazine and ammunition inspections, inventories, requisitions, and inventory control. During the late 1960s and early 1970s, the U.S. Navy experienced several catastrophic explosions on its ships. As a result of ensuing investigations, several pertinent facts were disclosed. It was determined that an apparent lack of understanding existed regarding the inspection of ammunition. Gunnery personnel were not familiar with the principle of the gas-check system in the base of projectiles or were not familiar with the gun ammunition lot number system and the notice of ammunition reclassification (NAR) in TWO24-AA- ORD-010. Results of the investigation indicated that increased understanding was requiredFrom the foregoing it can be seen that all GMs 3 and 2 should make every effort to increase their knowledge of gun ammunition by seeking out and studying all available Ops, Ods, and instructions. Gaining this knowledge is not only beneficial to you in self-satisfaction but also in knowing the proper procedures for the care and handling of ammunition and the steps to be taken in emergencies. An important point to remember is that ammunition in any form is dangerous unless it is properly tended. Any deviation from authorized procedures can lead to problems. Minor unauthorized acts can establish a train of events that can eventually cause a magazine to blow. Therefore, it is imperative that ordnance personnel follow standard operating procedures exactly. If any doubt exists, contact the nearest ammunition facility for guidance. NAVSEA has directed the mandatory inspection of 5-inch, high-explosive-loaded projectiles with gas-check seals (GCSs) before issue by NAVSEA activities or an overseas ammunition issuing activity. Gun projectiles fitted with abase fuze or base plug are equipped with a GCS to prevent hot propellant gases from penetrating into the explosive cavity of the projectile body. This GCS inspection by experienced ammunition personnel includes sighting that (1) the GCS is not missing, (2) the GCS is symmetrical and properly seated, (3) the GCS is not cracked, cut or tom, and (4) the BDF or base fuze hole plug (BFHP) is flush or slightly below the projectile base. After inspection, issuing activities ashore certify a good GCS by applying a suffix (either A or B) to the projectile and on the data card, according to TWO24-AA-ORD-010, as appropriate. To safeguard against damage during subsequent handling and the possibility of sabotage, the firing ship should, before use, examine each 5-inch high explosive loaded projectile for proper GCS. A complete description of GCS inspection procedures is provided in Navy Gun Ammunition, NAVSEA SW030-AA-MMO- 010. Ordnance personnel should also check ammunition to see that (1) waterproof protecting caps are properly installed, (2) nose fuzes are properly seated and not loose, (3) upper nose caps of fuzes are intact, and (4) complete rounds can be identified by lot identification number. This system of identification is simple, but it requires study to understand and must be followed to be effective.
