Every Navy ship must have a tailored boat bill. The guidelines for this are set forth in which instructions?

The tailored boat bill for every Navy ship is governed by OPNAVINST 3120.32. This instruction outlines the policies for the organization and responsibilities of the ship's crew regarding boats and similar craft aboard the vessel. It specifies the training requirements, safety regulations, and operational procedures necessary to ensure effective and safe management of boats during operations.

Additionally, having a tailored boat bill is crucial for maintaining clarity in roles and responsibilities, especially in various scenarios where vessel operations require coordination, such as in man-overboard situations, search and rescue, and logistics operations. Ensuring that the crew is familiar with the boat bill helps promote safety and efficiency during missions involving the ship’s boats.

Each of the other instructions mentioned focuses on different areas, such as safety and health codes or facilities management, and does not specifically address the tailored boat bill required for Navy ships. Understanding the specific purpose of OPNAVINST 3120.32 helps reinforce the importance of this document in creating a structured and effective team for naval operations involving boats.
