This recommended practice provides weight control technical requirements for all phases of surface ships acquisition (i.e., preliminary design through detail design and construction) and service life and also describes different types of weight estimates, reports, and weight control procedures including a weight classification system which assists in achieving uniformity and standardizing weight reporting. The requirements in this practice apply (either in part or in total) only as specified in a contractual agreement (e.g., contract clause, purchase order, etc.).
