Evolution of Sea Shore FlowNone … Close Enough … Optimal Seavey Shorevey Sea Shore Rotation Sea Shore Flow TACOMA CLASS (PF-3) 900 Ship Navy – 775K Personnel Policy: 1957 – 1974 Sailors remained at sea indefinitely and rolled ashore based on time in grade and shore billet availability Catalyst: Centralized Distribution -Previous decentralized system caused large scale “bottle necks” in moving inventory across the Navy - First computer based “fair share” personnel assignment system - Sea Survey and Shore Survey rotation program O.H. PERRY CLASS (FFG-7) 600 Ship Navy – 600K Personnel Policy: 1974 – 2008 Sailors’ sea tour length determined by a ratio of sea billets to shore billets for each particular rating and paygrade Catalyst: All Volunteer Force - Fixed PRD required to calculate inventory projections - Predictable sea tour lengths needed to recruit and retain volunteer Sailors - Sea-shore billet ratio provided a close enough approximation for tour lengths FREEDOM CLASS (LCS-1) 313 Ship Navy – 322K Personnel Policy: 2008 – 20XX Sailors’ sea tour length determined by an optimal career path for each enlisted community Catalyst: Sea-Centric Force - Reduced shore billet structure driven by fiscal constraints - SSR billet ratio metric lacks fidelity needed to manage a sea-centric force - SSF provides optimal sea tour lengths

What Has ChangedRevisions incorporated in the 2011 SSF NAVADMIN • Changes from the 2008 SSF NAVADMIN include: • 36 ratings have longer sea tour lengths • 6 ratings have shorter sea tour lengths • 3 ratings have shorter shore tour lengths • 2 ratings have longer shore tour lengths • 4 ratings have been added to the sea-intensive category • 1 rating has been removed from the sea-intensive category • PSs have reverted from INUS/OUTUS back to Sea/Shore • MAs have been granted OUTUS duty credit for completing SWF duty assignment • ITSs have been added as a new rating • Verbiage defining maximum sea tour lengths is based on Years of Service (YOS) Sailors Will Serve Longer at Sea Due To More Sea Duty, Less Shore Duty, Higher Friction
