The Corrosion Community of Practice (CoP) is a single source for gathering information related to all aspects of corrosion on US Navy surface ships. We focus on mitigating corrosion and solving problems. We have a monthly telecon meeting to discuss new projects/actions, ongoing efforts, as well as gather and distribute Corrosion Prevention and Control (CPC) related information. We facilitate a face to face (F2F) meeting two times a year that align with two conferences: MegaRust Naval Corrosion Conference and the Fleet Maintenance and Modernization Summit (FMMS). The CoP currently has 3 Working Groups (WGs): Antenna Conductive Gasket WG, Corrosion Logistics WG, and the Aluminum Maintenance WG. In addition, we also have several sidebar discussions that stem from those WGs.
