Hi Jonathan,

During my time in the USN maintenance was performed daily, weekly, bi-weekly (every 2 weeks), monthly, bi-mputhly (every 2 months), quarterly (every 3 months), semi-annually, annually and bi-annually (every 2 years).

Of course there where refit cycles that where scheduled whihc would cover all the other maintenance.
