 or documentation). 



D. Requirements for postrecovery operations 



1. Determination of disposition of samples, including crating and 

 shipping of test samples

 by various groups during the recovery, the extent of 

 documentation required - recovery times, observations, photographs, 

 oceanographic data - and the timetable for submission 



3. Content and distribution of reports on the inspection 



4. Funding of this portion of the inspection 



II. Initial Inspection 



The structure should be inspected as soon as possible after recovery. 

 This is important because of the effect of air on the appearance of the 

 structure, especially the corrosion products and biological growth. The 

 items of major interest during this phase of the inspection are the 

 amount, appearance, and distribution of biological growth and corrosion 

 products, the condition of protective coatings, and the overall external 

 condition of the structure. Samples of biological growth and corrosion 

 products should be taken at this stage of the inspection and preserved
