Continue to ease out on the hose until the pendantsare holding the hose, then disconnect theconical cap. Do not retrieve the recovery wire.11. Attach the jumper hose from the fuel riser to the10-foot (3.0 m) pigtail of Flight 2. Check to ensurethat an O-ring is installed before clamping.NoteIf required, Flight 3 is streamed in the samemanner as Flight 2.12. Open fuel riser air valve and inflate hose to 8 to10 psi (55.1 to 68.9 kPa) pressure. Close air valve.13. Stand by for hose pickup and to receive receivingship’s signal: “Commence pumping.”14. On signal, open fuel riser valve and commencepumping.5.7.5.7 Retrieving the Rig1. Stand by to receive receiving ship’s signal:“Cease pumping.”2. Close fuel riser valve and stand by to receive signalto “Start blowdown.”3. On signal, open riser blowdown valve until signaled“Stop blowdown” (about 5 minutes), thenclose blowdown valve.4. When rig is all clear on receiving ship, disconnectjumper hose from astern hose. Reattach inboardconical cap and recover the rig in the reverse sequenceas that used in streaming the rig.5. If additional ships are to be fueled with the samefuel commodity, the rig shall remain streamedfor additional refueling operations.5.7.6 Receiving Ship Description — FloatMethod5.7.6.1 Rigging the Receiving Ship1. If installed, remove the probe receiver assembly at thestation to be rigged for receiving the astern fueling rig.a. Disconnect the probe receiver assembly byremoving the horizontal bolt that secures theswivel arm to the swivel joint. Retain the boltand nut with the swivel joint (for attaching theeasing-out line).b. Disconnect the probe receiver’s hose assemblyfitting from the flange on the fuel riser.c. Remove the probe receiver to temporary stowage,clear of the station.2. Install an adapter ell on the fuel riser to adapt theflange on the riser to the 6-inch (152.4 mm)flange on the A-end of the breakable-spool coupling(Figure 5-13).3. Install the A-end of the breakable-spool couplingon the adapter (Figure 5-13).4. Shackle a 12-inch (30.5 cm) snatch block to themessenger fairlead padeye, using an upset safetyshackle. This will be used as the messengerfairlead block (Figure 5-13). Fairlead the messengerto power when available.5. Shackle a 12-inch (30.5 cm) snatch block (using anupset safety anchor shackle through the block’s oblongswivel eye) to the padeye located below theprobe receiver’s swivel joint. This will be used asthe inhaul/retaining line fairlead block (Figure 5-13).6. The inhaul/retaining line is 4-inch (101.6 mm)manila line, 50 feet (15.2 m) long. One end ofthe line has a thimble eye spliced to the eye of a7-ton safety hook. A bight of the line at the hookend is inserted in the inhaul block (Figure 5-13).7. Shackle a 3-inch (76.2 mm) manila line to theprobe receiver’s swivel joint, using a regularsafety anchor shackle. Attach the shackle to theswivel joint’s horizontal bolt, and secure theshackle’s safety bolt through a thimble eyespliced in the manila line. This will be used asthe easing-out line. The easing-out line shouldbe twice as long as the distance from the messengerfairlead block to the waterline. An additional50 feet (15.2 m) of the line is required for deckhandling to a cleat and for easing-out operations.8. Prepare a 3-inch (76.2 mm) manila grapnel line,50 feet (15.2 m) long. Splice a thimble eye in oneend of the line. Shackle a grapnel hook to thethimble eye. Secure two 1-inch (25.4 mm) freerunning shackles or one 10-lb (45 kg) free running5-19 ORIGINAL
