The Entwistle Company is the OEM of sliding padeye assemblies. No other company can provide these parts, due to the fact that the dimensions are proprietary to The Entwistle Company. The parts will interface and connect to installed equipment as per specifications of ship’s drawings. If the parts do not fit perfectly, there is a risk of serious injury or death and severe damage to the ship’s systems. All parts are OEM specific. The drawing and casting for the material are proprietary to The Entwistle Company and specific dimensions to manufacture parts are not shown on drawingsand will not be provided by the OEM.

Further inspections, engineering testing and approvals must be needed to use similar or substitute items, which will inevitably jeopardize the production completion date (PCD) that has been scheduled for 23October2020 and will inturn negatively affect the USS OSCAR AUSTIN’S mission.
