EISRA (free donut if you know what that spells out to)
Emergency In Service Refit Activity?????

Not even close. I'll take a few more guesses before I spell it out.

Extended Incremental Selected Restricted Availability.


Ok. So is that just a 'mini yard period'?


As intense, but shorter. Since all of our 21 day in ports were industrial
(ISRA), the rework was a continual process. My EISRA was wet bottom, but
probably two out of three were dry bottom, and occurred about every three
years or so. I think the schedule depended partly on material condition and
leftovers from the shorter ISRAs.
