March 2014 – The US Navy issued the Lockheed Martin(LM)-led industry team

(including Marinette Marine Corp.) a$698.9 million contract modification toadd funding for the construction of twoadditional Littoral Combat Ships (LCS).Shortly after the issuance of this contractmodification, MMC received a contractfrom LM for these ships. This bringsMMC under contract with LM for eightships of the 10 block buy, increasing ourbacklog through 2018.

The contract modification is for the con-struction of Indianapolis (LCS 17) and LCS19, yet to be named. The first ship on this2010 contract, the USS Milwaukee (LCS5), was christened and launched in 2013here at Marinette Marine, and will un-dergo trials this fall before delivery tothe Navy in 2015. The future USS Detroit(LCS 7) will be christened and launchedlater this year. Little Rock (LCS 9), SiouxCity (LCS 11) and Wichita (LCS 13) are allin various stages of construction, andBillings (LCS 15) will begin constructionthis year.

“Our industry team appreciates the USNavy’s confidence in the LCS program aswe continue down the learning curve tomake these ships more capable and more

affordable,” said Joe North, Vice Presi-dent of Littoral Ship Systems at LockheedMartin’s Mission Systems and Trainingbusiness. “We’ll continue to build best-in-class, cost effective ships for the Navy,supporting its need to defeat littoralthreats and provide maritime access incritical waterways.”

President’sMessage

This issue of The Beacon sports a new

look for 2014. Our continued purposes

for the newsletter are many: to improve

communication, to review significant

developments throughout the yard, to

reinforce MMC’s commitment to

security and safety, well-being and

growth; to highlight important em-

ployee benefits; to generate interest in

community outreach events, to review

developments in the other Fincantieri

Marine Group affiliates; and finally, to

instill pride and a sense of common

purpose as we continue to produce the

world’s most advanced ships and serve

as one of America’s premier shipyards.

I would like to thank each of you for

your dedication to excellence as we strive

to build a leading shipyard. I look for-

ward to spending quality time discussing

MMC programs, policies, or improve-

ments at the newly-created for 2014,

“Pizza with the Prez.” In addition, I will

continue to spend time in the shipyard

and various work areas where you can

reach out and ask me questions directly.

Sincerely,Chuck H. GoddardPresident, CEO and GM

Reminder: This is your newsletter, andwe want your input. MMC’s Commu-nications and Newsletter Coordinatoris Tina Dyer (Tina.Dyer@us.fincan-tieri.com). Please email her your ideasfor stories or ask questions that shecan address in the future issues. Pleaseinclude the word “Beacon” in youremail subject line.

Laying of the LCS 11 KeelMMC, US Navy, and Lockheed Martin held a keellaying ceremony on February 19th for the futureUSS Sioux City, the Navy's 11th littoral combat ship(LCS). Sioux City is one of five Freedom-variant LCS currently under construction at MMC and is expected to be delivered to the fleet in 2017.

The keel-laying ceremony recognizes

the first joining together of a ship's

components. While modern shipbuild-

ing processes allow advanced fabrica-

tion of individual modules, laying the

keel represents the formal beginning in

the life of a ship. The keel is one of 71

modules that will make up the future

USS Sioux City.

In keeping with this time-honored tradi-

tion, ship sponsor Mary Winnefeld,

wife of Vice Chairman of the Joint

Chiefs of Staff, Admiral James "Sandy"

Winnefeld, Jr., authenticated the keel by

having her initials welded into a plaque

which will become part of her hull.

"I'm both honored and delighted to be

back in my home state of Wisconsin as

the sponsor of Sioux City," said Mrs.

Winnefeld. "It's been a real privilege

to meet the great Americans who are

building this versatile ship, and I thank

them in advance for their quality

work. I look forward to meeting her

crew soon, being part of her family,

and bringing our ship to life when

she's commissioned."

LCS 11 is the first Navy ship to be

named after Sioux City. Her name was

selected by Secretary of the Navy Ray

Mabus among other Midwestern cities

from America's heartland “to honor

the patriotic, hard-working citizens,

and their support of and contributions

to the military.”

Capt. Tom Anderson, LCS Program

Manager said, “LCS 11 and the entire

LCS Class are truly without precedent in

our national defense arsenal–breaking

new ground in Navy acquisition, ship

design, and warfighting technology."

Sioux City will join the next generation

Freedom-class warships in providing

the Navy with a flexible, affordable

platform to address the changing lit-

toral threats across the globe.

The R/V Sikuliaq (ARRV), pronounced

“see-KOO-lee-ack,” performed her

Acceptance Trials on February 17-23,

2014 in Lake Michigan near the port

of Ludington, MI. The ship successfully

navigated through 2-3 feet of ice while

testing its ice-breaking capabil-

ities. The navigation and

communication equipment

tests were successful along

with the maneuvering tests.

Personnel on board from Na-

tional Science Foundation

(NSF) were

pleased with

the ship and its

overall per-

formance and

craftsmanship.

The Sikuliaq

entered dry

dock at Bay

Shipbuilding

Company (BSC)

this month for repair of the owner fur-

nished stern thrusters. When the repairs

are complete the ship will perform a

final Acceptance Trial before returning

to MMC to prepare for delivery. UAF is

slated to take control of the ship in late

spring. After departing from the MMC

dock, the Sikuliaq will begin its exten-

sive deep water testing in the Atlantic.

Once complete, it will begin a tour

of the Eastern coastal waters, Gulf,

Panama, Hawaiian Island waters, and

Western coast line before it is expected

to arrive in its homeport of

Seward, Alaska in early 2015.

The Sikuliaq is uniquely

equipped for operating

in ice-laden waters. Its

reinforced hull, two rotating

thrusters and ice class

propeller blades will enable

it to break through ice up

to 2.5 feet thick. The ship has a unique

blue color which makes her stand out

when coming into port and sitting

dockside. The ship will also be outfitted

with the latest technology for oceano-

graphic research, including advanced

navigation systems, acoustic

mapping systems and

sensors, and systems for

deploying a wide array of

science equipment into and

out of the water. However,

the ship is designed to be

operational in

equatorial to

arctic condi-

tions through-

out the world.

The Sikuliaq

will primarily

support

oceanographic

research in

polar and

sub-polar regions of the world and

will be the most sophisticated research

vessel in the world.

Sikuliaq is owned by the National

Science Foundation (NSF) and will

be operated by the University of

Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) School of

Fisheries and Ocean Sciences.

Ihde Named 2014 NMA All-StarGary Ihde, MMC’s Superintendentof Erect, was selected as one of theNEW Manufacturing Alliance (NMA)2014 All-Stars.

NMA is a group of manufacturers,working with educational insti-tutions, work-force development boards,chambers of commerce and state organizations to promote manufac-turing in our Northeast Wisconsinregion. Their vision is to uniteNortheast Wisconsin manufacturersto strengthen their position as aworld-leading region of advancedmanufacturing opportunities.

“I nominated Gary because he is always willing to make changes thatimprove safety, quality and costs inhis respective areas,” stated DaveTomlin. “His leadership style is onethat is not only recognized by his direct reports, but by those who arehis peers.”

Gary was one of six All-Stars se-lected through the study focusingon northeast Wisconsin manu-facturers' plans for 2014.

We Care What You Think! Communication is a key

component to successful MMC transformation. As a valued employee, your

thoughts and opinions are important. Starting in April, a small group of MMC

employees will be invited to join Chuck Goddard, President & CEO, for a pizza

lunch. During this lunch, they will have the opportunity to ask questions about

MMC programs, policies, or improvements. This event will take place twice a

month; union and salaried employees will be in attendance.

MMC is actively involved with a

National Shipbuilding Research Program

(NSRP) to create a computer micro soft-

ware program (named FULCRUM3d)

directly linking MMC ship design soft-

ware (ShipConstructor) to the weight

reporting software (ShipWeight). Both

of these computer programs are used on

the LCS program. The new micro pro-

gram reads the ShipConstructor data-

base and automatically formats

information to ShipWeight—saving

time previously spent on manual

generation of weight data, and man-

ual entering into databases. This new

process will increase the accuracy of the

weight reports and alleviate possible

sources of errors. For LCS performance

and stability purposes, MMC will

accurately know the

ship’s weight, and

where the center

of gravity lies.

Primarily involved

in this NSRP proj-

ect are Alan Bird and

Joe Okins (MMC Engineering), DRS

Technologies (Maryland), SSI-USA (Al-

abama), and BAS Engineering (Norway).

Nate Millsap (MMC’s ECM & FSO) was

instrumental with addressing the ITAR re-

strictions between the US and Norway.

“One feature of ShipConstructor is

every part in the model automatically

generates accurate weight and center of

gravity,” said Alan Bird. “Capturing this

information is crucial. This information

is then fed through the FULCRUM3d

program to ShipWeight; resulting in a

precise center of gravity and weight.”

In addition, Alan Bird has worked

closely with ShipWeight developers to

add a feature that allows for a single

database to be able to track the weight

of several ships. This saves time tracking

and reporting the weight impact of the

various design changes from LCS hull

to hull.

Both the Navy and Lockheed Martin

are eager to have these breakthrough

features utilized.

MMC Earns SCA AwardsMarinette Marine Corporation has earned the prestigious Shipbuilders Council of

America’s (SCA) 2013 Award of Excellence in Safety. Each year SCA awards this

honor to shipyards with the lowest total recordable incidence rates (TRIR) based

on a quarterly injury and illness survey conducted by the SCA Association.

In addition, MMC has also earned the 2013 SCA Award for Improvement in

Safety. SCA awards this honor to shipyard members with a 10% or more year-

on-year reduction of their Total Recordable

Incident Rate (TRIR). For MMC we realized

an almost 50% reduction in incident rates,

going from 8.99 in 2012 to 4.57 in 2013. While

our goal will always be zero harm, our accom-

plishments in this area are quite remarkable and

a testament to your commitment to safety.

Start of Construction on LCS 13 (Wichita)Navy Supervisor of Shipping, Bath Maine issued an announce-

ment on February 21 stating the fabrication of the future USS

Wichita (LCS 13), the seventh ship of MMC’s Littoral

Combat Ship class, could begin full production at

Marinette Marine. To pave the way for the start of full

production, MMC Manufacturing reached its milestone of

100 LT of steal cutting/fabrication; in addition, the MMC

LCS Program Management Office completed an extensive

Production Readiness Review (PRR) with the Navy.

The ship's design maturity readiness, the

availability of materials and components and

MMC's ability to successfully start fabrication

were all closely evaluated at the PRR.

Meeting this milestone is a testament to the

dedication of MMC shipbuilding and man-

agement teams. The initial start of construc-

tion (steel cutting) took place January 20.

Wichita is expected to be delivered to theNavy in 2016 where it will join the USS Freedom Class.

MMC Supports Local Hygiene DriveMiles for Smiles does not come close to measuring the happy faces resulting

from our participation in the “Help for the Homeless” hygiene drive that serves

local homeless shelters and crisis agencies.

Your support helps make it possible for

clients in shelters, as well as those who

are starting over, to have the basic neces-

sities. These simple provisions that we

often take for granted, allows NEWCAP

and Rainbow House to help their clients

reach larger goals like housing, employ-

ment, education and parenting. As an

MMC employee, you can be proud to

be part of such a giving team and

community.

In support of “Help for the Homeless,”

MMC completed its first annual Miles

for Smiles paper product drive on

Monday, March 31. MMC

collected nearly 818 Smile Miles

in paper products and hygiene items.

Because of your generosity, we collected

diapers, toilet tissue, paper towels, tooth-

paste, shampoo, soaps, and cleaning

items - amongst other things. This drive

has restored hope to needy individuals

and has allowed us to extend a helping

hand to members of our community.

Every day NEWCAP and Rainbow House

help the homeless by distributing meals

and hygiene products, and providing on-

the-spot crisis counseling. Thanks to your

generous contributions we can gain a

tremendous sense of satisfaction in

knowing that each item will be

delivered directly into the hands

of local youth, adults and

families in need.

MMC Community OutreachContinues to Grow!MMC began its Community OutreachProgram nearly 2 years ago. The goal ofthe program was to increase MMC’sfootprint in community civic and chari-table causes as well as to seek opportu-nities to support philanthropic eventsthat improve our community, and toencourage MMC officers and employeesto take leadership in those endeavors.

Today, the Outreach Committee meetsmonthly and continues to foster em-ployee engagement, to improve com-munication, and to instill pride in anorganization with a 73-year tradition of building quality ships. The committeeis responsible for planning and pro-moting community participation with non-profit organizations, and other activities that recognize MMC as America’s premier shipbuilding team.

Outreach Committee members thankyou for your interest in volunteeringwith Community Outreach Programs!Volunteers diversify and expand theservices so the surrounding communitiesare able to provide service, safe shelter,food, protection, assistance, awareness,and education. Volunteers from theMMC community supported a numberof these programs in various ways. Dur-ing the 2013 calendar year, people likeyou helped stock our local pantry’sshelves, participated in blood donations,assisted elderly, and more by donatingcountless hours of their after-work time.

Beyond MMC Community OutreachPrograms, additional volunteer opportu-nities are available for a variety of socialservice agencies, nonprofit groups, reli-gious groups or other regional initiativesthat identify a certain specific need inour community and provide services tothe people in need. Whether you’remaking a difference in the life of a child,aiding the elderly or volunteering for aone-time special project, your time is avaluable investment in our community.

We are currently structuring a volunteertracking rewards program. More information to come!
