2 I June 2004 I ELECTRIC BOAT NEWS

Before a new submarine departsElectric Boat for delivery to theU.S. Navy, it is packed with

about 25,000 onboard repair parts – from nuts and bolts to valves and fittings.

Until about a year and a half ago, thereceipt of all these government-fur-nished items at Material Control wasdocumented in a handwritten log thatquickly grew to hundreds of pages foreach boat. But thanks to a Barbie dolland the ingenuity of a few Electric Boatemployees, the spare parts are nowlogged using a wireless handheld scan-ner and electronic database.

Planning supervisor Cliff Dutrumble(333), the driving force behind the com-puterized spare parts receipt log, hadbeen toying with several ideas for mak-ing it work. But nothing clicked until fel-low planning supervisor Gus Craig (333)told him about a Barbie grocery storescanner that he saw his daughter playingwith at home one evening.

“The Barbie scanner actually worked,”recounted material coordinator TimGoselin (333). “So Gus said, ‘If thatworks, why can’t we make it work?’”Soon thereafter, EB employees located asuitable scanner and then developed adatabase that records the arrival ofspare parts with a simple scan of thegovernment barcode that most packagescontain.

Dutrumble said the electronic log,implemented in late 2002 and already aproven success with the Virginia (SSN-774) and Jimmy Carter (SSN-23) spares,has done away with many of theheadaches associated with manualrecordkeeping.

“Manual logs are very cumbersome tomaintain,” he said, “and legibility is alsoa factor. Also, the paper record is youronly record, unless you make copies. Andwith a paper record, a misplaced cup ofcoffee can wipe out your database.”

The new system, he said, allows for

easy backups, provides search capabili-ties and makes delivery of daily updatesto SUPSHIP a breeze. And because thescanner is wireless, Material Controlpersonnel are able to move around, pro-cessing many items in the time it previ-ously took to do one.

Dutrumble said the new system is soefficient that it will have already paid foritself by the end of 2004.

Engineering specialist Wendy Wachter(604), who developed the software for thespare parts log, said she enjoyed beingpart of the project. “I’m glad I was ableto create something that was so neededand to have Tim and Cliff still thrilledwith it after all this time,” she said.

Other employees who contributed tothe project were engineering specialistSteve Welkie (604), who led the testing ofthe new log, and recently retired ware-houseman Myron Hall (333).

Hawaii Governor To Sponsor Submarine Hawaii

Secretary of the Navy Gordon R.England has asked Hawaii Gov.Linda Lingle to sponsor the

nation's third Virginia-class attack sub-marine, Hawaii (SSN-776). The subma-rine, which will be delivered by ElectricBoat, is 63 percent complete and sched-uled to enter the fleet in 2007.

Gov. Lingle, the sixth elected governorof Hawaii, is the first woman to hold thestate's highest position. Upon takingoffice in December 2002, Gov. Linglequickly developed a strong relationshipwith the military and worked to elevateher state's role in promoting peace andsecurity in the Asia-Pacific region. She

was the first governor of Hawaii indecades to tour Pearl Harbor NavalShipyard when she visited the base in2003.

Hawaii is the third in the 30-ship Virginia class; it is one of 10 Virginia-class submarines under contract and isthe most complete following Virginia(SSN-774) and Texas (SSN-775). TheVirginia-class submarine incorporatesrevolutionary technology and innovativedesign processes, such as spiral develop-ment and commercial-off-the-shelfequipment, to address 21st century oper-ational requirements and attain unparal-leled cost efficiency.

Poitras Named ToProfessional Post

Kevin Poitras, EB’s CVN-21program manager, hasbeen elected to the execu-

tive committee of the HamptonRoads, Va., section of the Society ofNaval Architects and Marine Engi-neers. CVN-21 is the Navy’s future air-craft carrier program.

Poitras relocated from Groton toNorthrop Grumman Newport Newsin 1998 to provide on-site EB represen-tation in the program. He graduatedwith honors from Maine MaritimeAcademy in 1973 with a B.S. degree inmarine engineering, and joined EBlater that year.

Aflurry of activity surroundedthe Jimmy Carter (SSN-23)in the weeks prior to its June

5 christening, as employees busily pre-pared the boat for its rollout, float-offand the christening itself.

And the stellar effort did not gounnoticed, especially by ship’s manage-ment and the Navy.

“The folks on this boat did an out-standing job getting us to where we aretoday,” said ship’s manager StanGwudz. “If you looked at this boat twoor three months ago, or even two orthree weeks ago, you’d never believehow much the employees could getaccomplished.”

“This is an amazing ship,” said NavyCapt. (select) Don Kelso, prospective

commanding officer of the JimmyCarter. “I’m really proud of what Stan-ley and his crew have done.”

Gwudz said just removing the stagingfrom the submarine took a Herculeaneffort. “We had the whole thing cov-ered,” he said. “It looked like a bunch oftents. But now we’re out here in thegraving dock and we’ve got a beautifulsubmarine, so it’s a tribute to all thefolks who worked so hard to get here.”

Quality Assurance supervisor Richard“Krambo” Kramarewicz (321), who waspicked to be the boat’s shipyard sponsor,agreed that getting the Jimmy Carter toits current state took incredible team-work on the part of thousands of people.

“And it’s not just EB people,” he said.“There are a lot of vendors, SUPSHIP

and Navy personnel, and countless sup-pliers involved.”

Kramarewicz said being singled outamong all those people to break the cer-emonial bottle of champagne on theship’s sail when it reached float-off May13 was a humbling experience. “It’squite an honor to represent all the peo-ple who did all the work to get where weare today,” he said.

Gwudz said Kramarewicz, who is cel-ebrating his 40-year service award thismonth, has played a critical role in theprogress of the Jimmy Carter, which iswhy he selected him as shipyard spon-sor. “He’s been a long and faithful ser-vant of the company and he deservedthat honor,” said Gwudz.

The Jimmy Carter Rollout, Float-Off And Christening– A Team Effort With A Cast Of Thousands

4 I June 2004 I ELECTRIC BOAT NEWS

Richard “Krambo” Kramarewicz (321) breaks a bottle of champagne on the sail of the Jimmy Carter (SSN-23) as the boat achieves float-off on May 13.

Carter is the only qualified submariner tobe elected president.

A few moments later, before a cheer-ing crowd of more than 4,500 people,Mrs. Carter broke the bottle against thestriker bar, triggering the Navy BandNortheast to begin the traditional“Anchors Aweigh.”

“This is an exciting day to be in thesubmarine business,” said EB PresidentJohn Casey, who was master of cere-monies for the event. “The ship I’mstanding on today represents a remark-able achievement for Electric Boat, theNavy and our nation – the United Statesof America.

“Less than five years ago, this vessel’sdistinguishing characteristic – the Multi-Mission Platform – existed only notion-ally in the minds of a few visionary Navyleaders and Electric Boat engineers,”Casey said.

“But in a tightly compressed time-frame, this notion has become reality,providing this ship and the submarineforce with astounding capabilities as wellas the potential to develop, test and intro-duce even newer and more revolutionaryundersea technologies. The missions theJimmy Carter will perform will be with-out precedent, enabling the Navy to leadthe way in the journey to real militarytransformation.”

Casey said he is convinced that anorganization’s success is tied to a sense ofallegiance that extends both up anddown the ranks. “This allegiance formsthe bond that keeps this company and itsemployees going in even the mostdemanding circumstances,” he said.

Calling the EB workforce a nationalasset, Casey then led the guests in around of applause for the company’sworkforce and its contributions to thecountry.

One of the speakers, Secretary of theNavy Gordon England, noted that, inmodern times, only nine people have hadships named after them while alive. “Pres-ident Jimmy Carter has surely earned hisplace in this elite group of citizens.”

Principal Speaker James R.Schlesinger, who served under Carter asthe nation’s first secretary of energy, out-lined the historical need for a robust mili-tary, then turned his attention to theship’s namesake.

“Now let me talk about the man – andthe statesman – for whom this powerfulcombatant is named,” he said. “JimmyCarter is the only graduate of the NavalAcademy to become commander in chief.Indeed, he is the only submariner tobecome commander in chief, and thus itseems appropriate that the naval com-batant named for him should be a sub-marine. When he left that other Seawolf

And this powerful instru-ment of war will be part of a deterrentthat maintains that peace – to whichJimmy Carter has devoted so much ofhis life to preserve.”

Referring to the submarine,Schlesinger said, “It has been carefullyconstructed; its innumerable details care-fully attended to; its hull is solid – likethe man of integrity for whom it isnamed. It will soon become part of thatformidable array of naval power that willhelp deter others – and thereby avoidfuture conflicts among major powers.”

Arriving in the U.S. Coast GuardCutter Monomoy, Vice Presi-dent Richard Cheney spent

part of a recent afternoon at Electric Boat,meeting Electric Boat employees andNavy personnel and touring the Virginia(SSN-774) and Jimmy Carter (SSN-23).

Cheney, who traveled down river afterdelivering the commencement address atthe U.S. Coast Guard Academy, hadlunch with crew members on Virginia,then addressed another group assembledin the torpedo room.

“Sometimes the duty gets long and hardand we don’t get a chance to say ‘thankyou,’” Cheney told the submariners.

He then went aboard the Jimmy Carter,

touring the Multi-Mission Platform, andspeaking to member of that ship’s crew.“No long speeches,” he said. “Just achance to come by. We really appreciateeverything you do for us.”

U.S. Navy Capt. Bob Wells, specialadvisor to the vice president, praised Elec-tric Boat and local Navy personnel for thejob they did in hosting Cheney.

“The hospitality and welcome extendedby Mr. John Casey, the tours and meet-ings with the crew members of each boatwere first class and an important occasionfor the vice president to personally expresshis appreciation for what each sailor andElectric Boat does for the security of thenation,” said Wells.

During his recent tour of the Virginia (SSN-774), Vice President Richard Cheney receives a briefingfrom EB President John Casey and Ship’s Manager Tom Berl, center. Cheney also toured the JimmyCarter (SSN-23) while at the shipyard.

Electric Boat Supports Bids For NASA ProjectTeams compete to developunmanned spacecraft for Jupitermoon exploration

Electric Boat is working as acontractor for two of the threeindustry teams competing for

NASA’s JIMO project.JIMO is an acronym for Jupiter Icy

Moons Orbiter, an unmanned nuclear-powered spacecraft that will orbit thethree planet-sized “icy moons” ofJupiter – Callisto, Ganymede andEuropa. Europa, the innermost of thesemoons, is believed to have a vast oceanbeneath its icy surface, which could con-ceivably be conducive to life – a poten-tially revolutionary discovery.

Electric Boat has been contracted bytwo of the project competitors, Lock-heed Martin and Boeing, to provide sup-port during the initial concept develop-ment phase.

Ads placed by Boeing, which mentionElectric Boat, are now appearing in sci-entific and technical publications.

Seven Electric Boat employeeswho recently returned fromactive-duty tours with the

National Guard or Reserve werethanked last month by President JohnCasey for their service to the nation,but the employees said they were theones who owed the thanks.

“It was a long year,” said ship’s man-ager Bruce Falcone (684), an ArmyReserve colonel who spent 13 months inIraq and Kuwait as deputy commanderof the 220th Military Police Brigade.“Thanks, EB, for taking care of us.”

“EB’s been good to me and my fam-ily for 18-plus years,” said carpenter anddive tender John Leake (252), who wascalled up to serve as company com-mander of the Army National Guard’s103rd Chemical Company, which pro-vided force protection and security inWest Point, N.Y. The 20-year Guardveteran said EB has always given himthe flexibility he’s needed. “So thanksfor the support.”

In a brief ceremony, Casey presentedeach of the seven with an EB pen and awooden storage box on which wasengraved, “In appreciation for yourservice to our country.”

Besides Falcone and Leake, the otherhonorees were:

■ Engineer supervisor Ted Larson(411), who commanded the MarineCorps’ 4th Supply Battalion, two com-panies of which were directly involvedwith combat operations in Iraq. ThoughLarson just returned to EB, he has beenrecalled to active duty again – startingnext month he will be commanding offi-cer of Combat Service Support Group15, based in Taqaddum, Iraq.

■ Metrology lab engineer WilliamVidal III (341), an Army Reserve ser-geant with the 325th TransportationCompany, who spent the bulk of 2003hauling fuel and supplies in Iraq;

■ Engineer Mark Blanda (454), a ser-geant with the Air National Guard who

served with the 103rd Air ControlSquadron in Afghanistan for fourmonths in 2003;

■ Engineer Jason Ward (462), a MarineCorps corporal who served a year withCharlie Company, 1st Battalion 25thMarines, providing security for U.S.warships at various hotspots in the Per-sian Gulf; and

CONTRACTROUNDUP

The U.S. Navy has awarded a teamled by Bath Iron Works a $79 mil-lion option to an existing contract

to continue development of its proposed solu-tion for the U.S. Navy’s newest class of ships,the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS). The originalcontract was awarded in July 2003.

The General Dynamics approach featuresan innovative trimaran hull that enables theship to reach sustainable speeds of nearly 50knots and range as far as 10,000 nauticalmiles with an unmatched interior volume andpayload. The ship is designed to allow a crewof fewer than 40 sailors to fully operate,maintain and defend it.

Two teams, the General Dynamics team andone other, were selected from a field of three toproceed into this stage of development for theLCS. Those three teams had previously beendown-selected from a field of six.

The LCS is a key element of the Navy’splan to address asymmetric threats. Intendedto operate in coastal areas of the globe, theship will be fast, highly maneuverable andgeared to supporting mine detection/elimina-tion, anti-submarine warfare and surfacewarfare, particularly against small surfacecraft. Key characteristics of the ship pro-posed by the General Dynamics teaminclude:■ Capable of supporting several missionssimultaneously.

■ Open-architecture information systemsenable over-the-horizon surveillance and

reconnaissance, global networking and coor-dinated air, surface and undersea tactical pic-ture.

■ Incorporation of stealth technologiesincreases ship and crew survivability.

■ Shallow draft allows operations near theshore.

■ More payload per ton of displacementthan any previous U.S. warship.

■ Huge interior volume delivers enhancedmission capabilities and endurance.

■ Supports concurrent and simultaneousoperation of two large (H-60) helicopters.

Bath Iron Works is the prime contractoron the program. Austal USA, of Mobile,Ala., a subsidiary of Australian shipbuilderAustal Ships, is supporting final design effortsfor the team’s aluminum and steel trimaranwarship. General Dynamics Advanced Infor-mation Systems, of Arlington, Va., is leadingthe ship’s open-architecture based Core Mis-sion System design and integration from itsPittsfield, Mass., facility.

Other team members include CAE ofLeesburg, Va.; BAE Systems, Rockville, Md.;Maritime Applied Physics Corporation, Bal-timore, Md.; Northrop Grumman ElectronicSystems, Baltimore, Md.; and three otherGeneral Dynamics companies: Armamentand Technical Products (Burlington, Vt.),Electric Boat and General Dynamics Canada(Ottawa, Ontario).
