When boiler tubes are removed, what is sent to the Type Commander (TYCOM) along with a report of findings?

When boiler tubes are removed, the required protocol includes sending a report of findings along with the National Naval Shipyard (NAVSSES). This is crucial because NAVSSES is the authoritative entity responsible for overseeing the maintenance and repair of naval vessels, including the inspections and evaluations of components such as boiler tubes.

The findings from the report help assess the condition of the components removed and determine the necessary actions to take, be it repairs, replacements, or modifications. This information is critical for maintaining operational readiness and safety standards on naval vessels.

In the context of the other choices, replacement parts would not typically be submitted with the report; rather, they are ordered or procured as necessary following the findings. Revised procedures may be generated based on the findings but are not submitted with the report itself. Inspection certificates relate more to the approval and validation of processes rather than directly accompanying the report of findings regarding the removal of boiler tubes. Thus, NAVSSES is the appropriate entity to be included with the report as it fulfills the requirements set forth for this process.
