This report describes the results of the underwater inspection of piers at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Naval Station. The inspection was conducted by the Underwater Construction Team One based at Little Creek, Virginia. The preliminary inspection is utilized to determine the necessity for a more thorough underwater inspection and structural analysis. Specific recommendations for each inspected pier is provided along with general overall recommendations for all the facilities. The extent of damage, method of repair, and repair priority is not the subject of this report and the definition of these subjects requires a more detailed underwater inspection and the scheduling of priority funding by the facility.

The Chesapeake Division, Naval Facilities Engineering Command (CHESDIV) has managed the Underwater Inspection Program during its first two formative years gaining experience and acquiring data in that time. In the process, CHESDIV has developed some insight into the Navy's underwater inspection needs, and the scope of effort required to meet these needs. It now appears possible to foresee, in practical terms, the desirable characteristics of a permanent NAVFAC long range Underwater Inspection Program for Waterfront Facilities. CHESDIV was to perform an underwater survey of the Navy's underwater facilities, assess their physical condition, and report these assessments to NAVFACNGCOM, Code 100, the Engineering Field Divisions (EFDs), the activities Public Works Offices (PWOs), and the Public Works Center (PWCs). During the early investigatory efforts in the program, through several data acquisition cycles, and by means of visits and inspections at Navy activities, further objectives of the long range program were identified. These included developing procedures for data acquisition, establishing a data inventory system, developing U/W inspection standards, and developing guidelines for U/W inspection cost estimates.
