NNS Honors Master Shipbuilders

Newport News Shipbuilding recognizes employees with 40 or more years of continuous service with the prestigious title of Master Shipbuilder. To honor these employees, NNS holds an annual recognition event. This year's event will be held on Dec. 6 and will honor 1,161 Master Shipbuilders, including the 359 shipbuilders who reached the milestone this year.

In this special edition of Currents, you will hear from a few of the women and men who have spent decades helping to produce the world's greatest ships. With a combined 49,946 years of service, these Master Shipbuilders have built a proud legacy that continues to grow and shape the shipyard as we know it today.

Congratulations, 2017 Master ShipbuildersAs a Master Shipbuilder on the senior staff, along with John Temple and Rob Hogan, it is my pleasure to congratulate this year’s new Master Shipbuilders. Your work during the past four decades – whether it was on the deckplate, in a shop, in an office or some combination of the three – has played a vital role in protecting our nation and its sailors. You’ve witnessed a lot of change at Newport News Shipbuilding throughout your career – and the pace of change will only accelerate as the shipyard continues to embrace and leverage new technology. But our calling remains the same – "Always Good Ships." On behalf of the senior staff, thank you for your commitment and service to NNS and to our nation – and welcome to the Master Shipbuilder “club.” Be proud of the legacy you have built here. We look forward to celebrating with you this week.

Structural Fitter Crew Boasts Seven Master ShipbuildersThe Maintenance Department (O43) has a proud tradition of supporting and retaining Master Shipbuilders. The structural fitter crew is no exception. Seven of 13 members of the team are Master Shipbuilders who collectively have more than 290 years of service to Newport News Shipbuilding. And a few more members of the crew are just shy of the 40-year milestone.

The team is responsible for all structural fitting and welding repairs done on cranes and facilities at NNS as well as facilities’ hot- and cold-work permits.

Words like commitment, journey, blessed, fortunate and grateful flowed as the group of Master Shipbuilders reflected on their experiences at the shipyard. “We have a very talented group with tremendous gifts, and we are like family,” said Sherman Evans.

William Artis came to NNS in 1973 and has worked on every Nimitz-class ship. “I worked over at Smithfield Packing and spent my entire one-week vacation here at the shipyard employment office trying to get hired,” he said. “I guess the recruiter got tired of my face because I’ve been here ever since.”

The group has seen people come and go and witnessed amazing sights during their tenures, including the memorable winter

that left the James River frozen solid. They all agree that NNS is moving in a positive direction. “We’ve got younger leaders with more open-minded ideas now. They are innovative, out-of-the-box thinkers who are going to help the company move forward,” said Rufus “Lou” Rawls.

James Brantley noted significant advances in safety, technology and diversity at NNS through the years.

Cassandra Joe, who became a Master Shipbuilder this year, enjoys counseling younger shipbuilders about both home and work. “I encourage them to get a primary care physician and to start investing for retirement,” she said.

Joe and the other Master Shipbuilders on the team also share their valuable insight with leadership. “We are lucky to have these Master Shipbuilders share their knowledge, resources and skills with our department,” said Maintenance Supervisor Reggie Wilson (O43). “They give me and the rest of the crew a lot of advice, and that helps me with decision making – they always have our back.”

Master Shipbuilder's NNS Career Spans Two ShipyardsRusty Minter (O19) will have a much longer commute to the Master Shipbuilder recognition ceremony this week than most of his Newport News Shipbuilding colleagues. That’s because Minter, who started his NNS career 40 years ago, lives and works in Connecticut.

In 1997, he was among a group of NNS employees who went to work offsite at General Dynamics Electric Boat in Groton, Connecticut. The two companies had just entered into a teaming agreement to design and build Virginia-class submarines.

“We’ve delivered 15 boats now,” said Minter, the Drawings and Other Data Review Team (DDRT) administrator for the Virginia-Class Submarine Program.

When he learned about the opportunity to work for NNS in Connecticut 20 years ago, Minter wasn’t sure his wife would be on board. They had seven children at the time – an eighth would come later – and their extended family was in Virginia. But she was supportive, and the family made the move within months.

“We had never been north of the Mason-Dixon Line,” Minter said. “I remember coming up for orientation during Memorial Day weekend. I packed my Virginia clothes, and I had to buy a coat when I got here.”

Despite the colder climate, he said the move has been positive. “We’ve been treated well here,” Minter said. “We all have a common goal to build a good product.”

A graduate of The Apprentice School, Minter spent most of the first half of his career working with aircraft carriers in Newport News. He was a pipefitter and a nuclear piping apprentice instructor. He also performed nuclear testing on carriers.

Minter has seen plenty of change during his 40-year career at NNS, but one of the most dramatic has been the company’s embrace of technology in recent years. “I never even had a computer in the first 20 years,” he said. For younger shipbuilders, Minter recommends The Apprentice School and continuing education. “NNS is a good place to work,” he said. “There is a lot of opportunity if you apply yourself.”

Endless OpportunitiesLike many Master Shipbuilders, René Thomas (O69) had no idea she would have a 40-year career at Newport News Shipbuilding when she was hired in 1977. But Thomas’ story is especially remarkable because she wasn’t even looking for a job at the shipyard.

“I went with somebody else who had an interview, and I didn’t want to sit in the car,” she said. In order to wait inside, an 18-year-old Thomas had to fill out an application. She did so reluctantly, and soon was offered a job as a woodworker at NNS making $3.94 an hour.

“I had never made so much money in my life. I thought I was going to be rich,” she said.

Thomas, a third-generation shipbuilder, didn’t quite strike it rich, but she has had a rewarding career at NNS. “I’ve learned so much in this place. It’s unbelievable. If you want to do something amazing, your opportunities are endless,” she said. “I’ve had an array of different areas of responsibility. It’s been exciting – maybe a little stressful at times – but never boring.”

In her current role as an industrial engineer, Thomas works to help ensure craftsmen and craftswomen in X42 and X43 have the tools and skills they need.

“We make sure that we set our craftsmen and craftswomen up for success in terms of safety, quality and proficiency,” she said. “I like what we do, because I think we make an immediate difference.”

Thinking back on her NNS career, Thomas said the best part of the shipyard is its people.

“This has been a good place to work. I’ve raised a family and received an education. I’ve paid for my home. I’ve seen some wonderful things and met some great people while doing some of the coolest things on earth – things that you don’t get to do anywhere else,” she said.

Mentoring the Next GenerationAt Newport News Shipbuilding for more than 40 years, Cecil Eley (X42) has worked across the shipyard – from the North Yard to the South Yard. For the past three years, Eley has been in the Detail Pipe Shop, where he spends a lot of time assisting apprentices.

“They’re eager to learn and listen to what you have to say,” he said.

Although Eley has a wealth of knowledge to share with the younger shipbuilders, he said information flows both ways. “Just because I’ve been here for 41 years doesn’t mean I know everything,” he said. “There are some things I learn from the apprentices.”

Eley said apprentices – who constantly rotate into and out of his shop – often ask about safety and working conditions in different parts of the shipyard. Those are questions he’s well equipped to answer since he spent years working on submarines and aircraft carriers.

“We try to talk to the apprentices about the weather, how to dress, what to look forward to and what not to look forward

to,” Eley said. “They are the future of the company. I try to instill in them the right motives and show them how to do quality work.”

Eley said the apprentices’ experiences “are going to mold them and what they think about the shipyard.” That’s why he tries to pass along a positive attitude and encourages others to “be positive and flexible as they encounter different people and situations” at NNS.

Reflecting on his time at the shipyard, Eley said the opportunity to meet so many people from different backgrounds has been a highlight of his career.

“Everybody I meet has a story,” he said.

Fifty-Five Years and CountingAfter more than 55 years at Newport News Shipbuilding, Johnny Meadows (E18) still looks forward to tackling new challenges at work every day.

“I recognized years ago the benefits that come from the mental and physical stimulation of getting up and coming to work,” he said. “I’ve been around long enough to also enjoy days off.”

Meadows works on the engineering team that supports the operating fleet of Los Angeles- and Seawolf-class submarines. He deals with naval shipyards and colleagues – near and far – to help find replacement parts and solve other issues that arise with the boats.

“I’m kind of like a fireman in a firehouse when there’s a fire, and there are plenty of them,” he said. “It really makes me feel good when we can turn things around for a submarine and get it back out to sea.”

Meadows credits a number of NNS mentors and supervisors – including one who pushed him to return to college and earn a

degree – with instilling the skills and values that led to his long and successful career at the shipyard.

Brothers Become Master Shipbuilders Together It’s not uncommon for several members – and generations – of one family to work at Newport News Shipbuilding. But there is something unique about brothers John Justice (X18), Joe Justice (X11) and Sam Justice (X43). The three all started their shipbuilding careers at NNS in early 1977 and became Master Shipbuilders together this year. “It’s special to me because I’ve never seen three brothers who have been here this long together,” said John, the first Justice brother hired at NNS.

He came to the shipyard from Union Camp Paper Mill in Franklin, where the trio worked at the time. John told his brothers about the opportunities at the shipyard, and Joe and Sam applied and were hired within weeks.

“We didn’t know we were going to get hired so fast,” Joe said.

The Justice brothers come from a large, close-knit family of eight siblings. A strong work ethic was instilled in them growing up. They also learned about the importance of working together early in life. “Our father was a super worker, too,” Joe said.

John said he and his brothers are “go-to guys” in their respective departments, a testament to their longevity and commitment to excellence. “We do three

totally different things, but we all are among the best at what we do,” he said. They also all work to help mentor less experienced shipbuilders.

During their four decades at NNS, the Justice brothers have seen a number of changes at the shipyard, but what stands out most are quality of life improvements. Joe remembers not having a proper place to eat lunch, having to “fight flies in the summer and fight cold in the winter.” But now, there are comfortable spaces for shipbuilders to eat and have meetings.

“I think it made the work ethic improve,” he said.

John agreed. “They’ve done a lot of things through the years to make the shipyard more worker friendly,” he said. “If you make an employee more comfortable, you’re going to get a more productive worker. I think a lot of people have come to that kind of thinking versus back in the day.”

None of the brothers have any immediate plans for retirement. “I came here with a five-year plan. Then, after kids, a wife and a house, my five-year plan turned into a 10-year plan. Now, that has turned into a 40-year plan,” John said. “But we’ve had really good careers here.”

Shipbuilder Caps NNS Career with Blood Donation In October, Master Shipbuilder Ernie Koehler rolled up his sleeve at an American Red Cross blood drive at Newport News Shipbuilding, just as he has done for more than four decades. “This is the 206th pint,” he said. This time, however, something was different. There was cake. And there were hugs and well wishes from fellow shipbuilders and Red Cross staff. It was Koehler’s last donation as an NNS shipbuilder. After 48 years at the shipyard, he was planning to retire at the end of October.

Growing up in the Fox Hill section of Hampton, Koehler had a number of family members who were shipbuilders. When he finished high school, he decided to apply to The Apprentice School.

Koehler was accepted, but had to wait until he turned 18 in October 1969 to start at NNS.

“I started here just a few days after I turned 18, and I’ve been here ever since,” he said.

In the early 1970s, Koehler started donating blood. “I wanted to help people, and I figured it would be good for me, too,” he said.

Koehler, who was a facilities planner at NNS, has now donated more than 25 gallons of blood. He plans to continue giving as a retiree. He encourages others to give blood as well.

Remembering 1977More than 12,000 people attended the launching of El Paso Arzew, the second Newport News Shipbuilding-built natural gas tanker, in August 1977. The launching was held in conjunction with an open house for NNS' new 11-acre steel production center. A custom-built robot, called 029 Droid – very similar to Artoo-Detoo (R2-D2) of “Star Wars” fame – was on hand to cut a special steel "key" to officially open the center.

Master Shipbuilders Share Memorable Moments"I have found a lot of enjoyment in being part of teams that had to work closely together to get systems or equipment back into service. While these occasions have sometimes been stressful, I feel proud that I was able to provide input that helped others with completing difficult tasks."Danni Clark (E13)

"A significant moment for me was shipchecking and watching USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) come up the river for its RCOH. She was the first ship I worked on when I started in 1977. She was the last ship to be stick built in Dry Dock 11."David Peterman (E65)

"To contribute to the building of an aircraft carrier is an honor and a privilege. When we flood the dock and prepare to send another carrier out, it is a rush like no other. The events leading into and around a carrier launching are fantastic. My first carrier launching was USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) and most likely John F. Kennedy (CVN 79) will be my last. So 10 under my belt is a great feeling." Lee Murphy (X91)

"I had a plan to be the first in something here, which lead to me being the first female JLG operator. It was a personal dream that turned into a reality for me. It was an experience I will never forget. I am thankful to have been included and for all of the opportunities that I have been afforded. I am now an office administrator, which was my final dream." Vanessa Wise (X79)

“I like giving, and I hope it helps people. I think it’s good for you to give, so I’m going to keep doing it as long as I can,” he said. “If you can give, you should. Here at work they even give you a charge. There’s no excuse not to give.”

“I had some great teachers,” he said.

With more than one-half century under his belt at NNS, Meadows said he is often asked, “Why are you still here?”

“The shipyard has been – and still is – a major component in the rhythm of my life,” he said. “I have no retirement goal in sight. As long as my wife and I stay healthy, and I can continue to contribute, I intend to get up at 4:50 every morning and come to work.”

But he didn’t always think that way. In fact, Meadows said there was a time when he couldn’t wait for retirement. “The closer I got, the more my prospective changed. Like everything, there can be spots where it upsets you a little bit or makes you a little mad, but the rewards of helping someone solve a problem and meet their challenge are what it’s all about for me,” he said.

Meadows said he is happy there is more pride among shipbuilders today than there has been at some points in the past. “We do great and important things here, and you ought to be proud,” he said.
