In instances where deviated design requirements (for example, ship type, ship class, and so forth) conflict with the requirements of this standard, the requirements of this standard govern. Any deviation for electric plant installation identified in this standard is to be submitted to NAVSEA 05Z3 for resolution.<b><u>Intended Use:</u></b> This section specifies the requirements for swage tubes, stuffing tubes, and kickpipe methods to be employed both on surface ships and submarines. Standard methods identified for electric plant installation are intended for new construction, conversion, and alteration of existing ships<br>
