Ships Manpower Directive

Ship Management Data

Ships Manpower Document

SMD stands for Ships Manpower Document. This is the official listing that captures a ship’s authorized crew and billets, including required ratings, qualifications, and watchstanding requirements. It serves as the foundation for manning decisions, assignments, and deployment planning, ensuring the crew matches what is officially authorized. It’s not a directive, data set, or diagram—the document itself is the ordered record used to manage and verify manning levels on the vessel.
