What must a ship demonstrate during the READ E 4 assessment?

During the READ E 4 assessment, a ship is required to demonstrate its readiness to exit the Maintenance Phase. This assessment is an evaluation process that confirms whether the ship is adequately prepared to proceed to the next operational phase following maintenance activities. Essentially, it checks if the ship meets all operational, material, and crew readiness standards necessary for successful performance in upcoming missions after completing maintenance.

The readiness encompasses various factors including equipment functionality, crew training, and overall safety measures. By validating the ship's preparedness at this stage, the assessment plays a crucial role in ensuring that the vessel can effectively transition into active operations, thereby preventing any operational risks that might arise from insufficient readiness.
