The surface plant hull would use a modular arrangement of the 

 power plant and components. Three compartments would be provided 

 in the power plant module. The largest would contain the power plant, 

 a separate compartment would contain the electrical and electronic equip- 

 ment, and the third compartment would contain the oil handling and filtering 

 equipment. Any of the major units could be hoisted out of the buoy or 

 surface hull without disturbing the mooring system. The provision was made 

 to avoid abandoning the moor for equipment replacements. The generator 

 plant could be replaced with a 100-kw unit if needed in the future. The 

 only difference as the result of this exchange is that a shorter refueling cycle 

 is required. This eliminates the need for establishing a new moor. Existing 

 cables would have adequate capacity to serve the higher load. Figures A-10 

 through A-12 show the surface plant hull arrangement.
