Program: Program Chairman Jeff Deer

introduced Aretha Lynn Tremblay (known as

Lynn) who has been employed by Electric Boat

(EB) for more than 38 years. Electric Boat

Corporation is the premiere designer and builder

of nuclear submarines for the United States

Navy.

Lynn started as a clerk, filing documents and

providing supplies to shipyard engineers and

designers back in the days when the ship design

was paper based. In the 1970's with the help of

some On the Job Training,

Lynn changed jobs and

became a Piping Designer

in the same organization

that she had handed out

supplies to. In the 1980's

Lynn got a BS in

Mechanical Engineering

and a MS in Computer

Science and moved into the

ranks of the Engineering

Force. From there it was on

to Project Management and

the Fleet Support organization. In 2008 she was

invited to move to Hawaii and become the

Electric Boat Virginia Class Planning Yard and

Fleet Support Program Lead providing Planning

Yard Services in support of the Virginia Class

Submarines arrival in Hawaii. The USS Hawaii

arrived in July of 2009.

Lynn’s title is Program Lead Department 708-

Pearl Harbor, Planning Yard and Fleet Support.

Lynn is from Connecticut, and she is the site

manager for Electric Boat, a wholly owned

subsidiary of General Dynamics and a major

Defense contractor. They do construction of

submarines. Her job is to find materials and

drawings and help the Pearl Harbor shipyard in

other ways to maintain submarines. Her

organization has 42 employees, mostly

electricians, from the local Hawaiian company

HSI Electric, which was bought by Electric Boat

and now named HIS Electric Boat.

Trident class submarines are an older vintage,

and are now called Ohio class submarines. Pearl

is the current home port for about 16 or 17 Los

Angeles class (“688”) subs. The newest are

Virginia class, like the HAWAII (since July ’09)

and TEXAS (since late ’09) and the NORTH

CAROLINA all now home ported at Pearl.

Eventually Pearl Harbor will home port about

60% of the Virginia class subs -- a total of

around 24 to 30.

Subs typically deploy for two months out of

every nine.

Current construction of submarines is to build a

“tube” open at each end, and install as much

equipment as possible at Quonset, Rhode Island,

then send components to a yard such a Newport

News, Virginia by

barge for completion.

President Connie

thanked Lynn for her

presentation and asked

her to sign a children’s

book, Disney’s Atlantis

the Lost Empire

adapted by Catherine

Hapka, to be donated

to Aiea Elementary

School in her honor.

Bruce Fink led us in the Four-Way-Test.
