CHRISTENING OF SSN 793 PCU OREGON

EBNEWS

On Saturday, October 5, Ship Spon-sor Dana Richardson christened pre-commissioning unit Ore-gon (SSN 793), the 20th ship

of the Virginia Class. Richardson, an Oregon native, has focused much of her time on military spouse ini-tiatives, family programs and family resources, serving on multiple boards and in a variety of leadership roles.

“To the crew of the USS Oregon: today’s ceremony celebrates the tenacity and the hard work you’ve put forth, and it has culminated in achieving this goal,” said Richardson.“Our nation relies on you to keep her safe, and to defend her mightily,” she said. “It is an honor and a privilege, and I stand ready to serve as your sponsor.”

Richardson christened the ship with a sparkling Chardonnay-Rosé from the Stoller Family Estate winery in Dayton, Oregon.

In 1841, the first USS Oregon, a former brig, explored the shoals and reefs of the Hawaiian Islands, South Africa, and Rio de Janeiro Brazil, and conducted surveys in the Gulf of Mexico. She was laid up in the Norfolk Navy Yard in April of 1945 and was sold soon thereafter.

The second Oregon (BB 3), was laid down on November 19, 1891 at Union Iron Works in San Francisco, and was

commissioned on July 15, 1895 as a bat-tleship for the U.S. Navy. BB 3 was called to fight in the Spanish-American War in 1898, where she outgunned and outmatched her adversaries and contrib-uted heavily to the U.S. victory.

“She was called the bulldog of the Navy,” said Congressman Greg Walden, who represents Oregon’s 2nd Congressio-nal District, in his keynote remarks. “While it’s been many years since the

original USS Oregon sailed her last voyage, we shall always remember the brave sailors who so proudly answered the call of freedom,” he said.

During the ceremony, EB President Kevin Graney recognized five shipbuilders who dis-tinguished themselves with their extraordinary work on Oregon. “They represent, individual-ly, the collective change our workforce is undergoing. Long-serving, highly skilled shipbuilders are passing the torch to very tal-ented, next-generation shipbuilders to carry forward the legacy of this important work for our country,” said Graney.

Larry Daniels D248, Brittany Meyer D243, Mike Thornton D915, Haley Hider D244, and Steve Corr, a recent retiree after

34 years with EB at Quonset Point, were asked to stand and were recognized among the sea of people at the event.

“Today you bear witness to this magnifi-cent ship,” said Graney. “While I’m only five days into my second career here at EB, I know it took world-class engineering, accu-rate and timely material procurement of thousands of parts and components from all across the country, a comprehensive and flex-ible plan, and gritty determination in execution by our New England and Virginia trade workforce.”

Construction began on Oregon in Septem-ber 2014, and she is slated for delivery in the fall of 2020.

MRS. CHRISTIE VILSACK, SHIP SPONSOR OF THE FUTURE SUBMARINE IOWA, USES CHALK TO DRAW HER INITIALS ON THE STEEL PLATE TO BE WELDED BY QUONSET POINT EMPLOYEE ANTHONY MIELE (IN BACKGROUND).

At a ceremony at the company’s Quonset Point facility on August 20, Electric Boat marked the keel laying of SSN 797 Iowa, the 24th

submarine of the Virginia class with the ship’s sponsor, company leadership and employees and future Iowa crew members.

The sponsor of Iowa is Mrs. Christie Vilsack, an Iowa native and lifelong edu-cator. Vilsack began her career as a teacher of language arts and journalism, in middle, high school and at Iowa Wesleyan College. Beginning in 1999, Christie served as First Lady of Iowa, where she focused on education and lit-eracy issues. Her education advocacy continues in her work on the Board of Iowa Wesleyan University and IREX, an international education non-profit. Chris-tie also currently works as education advisor to the chancellor of Colorado State University.

The keel laying of a ship is a time-honored tradition. In the days of wooden ships, the start of construction was marked by the laying of the first

ELECTRIC BOATHOSTS KEEL LAYING CEREMONY FOR SUBMARINE IOWA

timber – the backbone of the vessel. Today, this celebration is modified to reflect current manufacturing methods as well as the cylindrical shape of modern submarines.Shipbuilders and sailors refer to the bottom centerline of the sub-marine as the keel.

At the ceremony, EB Quonset Point employee Anthony Miele welded Mrs. Vilsack’s initials onto a steel plate to be installed on the Iowa, where it will remain throughout the ship’s service life,

reminding her crew of the strong bond between the Iowa and her sponsor.

Also attending the ceremony were Quonset Point employees who celebrated forty years of service to the company.

Special recognition was given to Elec-tric Boat Structural Fabrication Mechanic, Tom Lowney. During Lowney’s 20-year career in the US Navy, he served aboard the battleship Iowa in 1989. To close the ceremony, sponsor Christie Vilsack declared the keel “to be well and truly laid.”

Electric Boat Quonset Point

Since becoming operational in 1974, Electric Boat’s Quonset Point facility has established and advanced the industry standard in manufacturing, outfitting and modular construction for the production of U.S. Navy nuclear submarines. There are currently eight Virginia-class subma-rines in various stages of construction at Quonset Point, and one Columbia-class hull. Over the next few years, the site will grow considerably, adding an addi-tional 13-acres of hull outfitting space for Virginia and Columbia class submarines.


On September 13, Electric Boat celebrated the ceremonial ground-breaking of the South Yard Assembly

Building (SYAB) in the Groton shipyard, a new 200,000 square-foot facility dedicated to construction of the Columbia class.

This expansion will be the largest con-struction project to take place at the Groton shipyard in more than 45 years. Those in attendance, including General Dynamics leadership, EB shipbuilders, Navy partners, project team members, and elected and public officials, have played an important role in bringing the SYAB project to reality.

Electric Boat’s expansion related to the Columbia program has and will continue to provide jobs and the basis for a thriv-ing manufacturing sector in Connecticut.

“This project isn’t just good news for Groton and Electric Boat,” said U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney in an editorial he wrote in September for the Hartford Courant on the importance of EB’s continued expan-sion. “New jobs will help attract even more young people to the manufacturing pipeline and to Connecticut’s commu-nity colleges, and they will create fresh opportunities for new business among the hundreds of supplier firms and machine shops in the region that help make these submarines possible.”

The SYAB is the centerpiece of an $850 million expansion at the Groton shipyard

and will eventually be home to 1,400 of EB’s skilled shipbuilders. Electric Boat will also expand and update other manu-facturing spaces and build a floating dry dock to launch Columbia submarines, while continuing to deliver two Virginia-class attack submarines a year.

“The South Yard Assembly Build-ing will serve as a powerful tool in the hands of the skilled shipbuilders here at Electric Boat,” said Rear Adm. Pappano. “This building will provide the capac-ity required to support construction of Columbia SSBNs with the ability to deliv-er two-per-year Virginia SSNs.”

EB HOSTS VISITORS FOR ANNUAL NAVAL NUCLEAR LABORATORY TOUR OF THE SHIPYARD

On Saturday, July 20, Electric Boat Groton hosted over 50 interns, new hires, and staff from the Knolls

Atomic Power Laboratory (KAPL) and Kesselring sites for the annual Naval Nuclear Laboratory (NNL) tour of the shipyard. This yearly event has been orga-nized by Department 412 since 2002.

EB employees across various engineer-ing disciplines gave presentations on a range of topics including computational fluid dynamics, transient shock analysis,

piping analysis and acoustics. In the after-noon, volunteer tour guides led groups of the NNL visitors through portions of new construction hulls SSN 793, SSN 795, and SSN 799, as well as the model room, COATS facility and Columbia reactor head area mockup.

This year’s tour was coordinated by Leslie Christie, Nicole Enos-Quito and Jacqueline Tulip. Special thanks were given to the presenters (Steve Cook, Tess Diffenbaugh, Bronwyn

Hughes, Jack Leonard III, Tom Plan-te, Bob Scherrer and Jeff Youngs) and the tour guides (Ethan Babcock, Jon Carr, Andrew Gilday, Greg King, Zachary Koester, Jeremy Mar-ciniak, Joe Marmaud, Eric Martell, Mark Plourde, Henry Stracensky and Jeremy Truex) for their time and dedication. Feedback from KAPL and Kesselring was excellent and they were very appreciative of Electric Boat hosting the tour.


THE VIRGINIA-CLASS ATTACK SUBMARINE USS JOHN WARNER (SSN 785) ARRIVES AT NAVAL SUBMARINE BASE NEW LONDON IN GROTON, CONNECTICUT, PRIOR TO ITS EMERGENT AVAILABILITY AT ELECTRIC BOAT. (U.S. NAVY PHOTO).

USS JOHN WARNER (SSN 785) RETURNED TO FLEET AHEAD OF SCHEDULE

On July 31, the USS John Warner was certified and delivered back to the Navy 17 days ahead of schedule. “I’d like to thank everyone involved in the project – they should be proud of themselves and their work,” said John Occhionero, program

director of submarine maintenance and modernization. Electric Boat was approached by the Navy in early March after a rudder problem

was identified on the Virginia-class boat. The repair was emergent since the Navy needs the boat to support deployments later this year. The EB team proposed a period of performance from April 22 through August 16, with an incentive com-pletion date of August 1.

“The success of this maintenance availability is due to the outstanding pre-plan-ning effort between all involved, including the operations trades, ships management, purchasing, test, the docking crew, engineering and the program office,” said Occhionero. “When unexpected problems arose, the entire team turned it around. That’s why we were able to meet our early incentive date. It shows the Navy how well we can perform.”

Also critical to the EB team’s exceptional performance on the John Warner were the many lessons learned from Montpelier, EB’s largest submarine repair job, which was completed this spring, “such as using the same team from one boat to the next, because they knew what was expected,” said Occhionero. “It’s rewarding, and fun, when we can deliver on time or early.”

SSN 785 left EB on August 2, and the crew reports the rudder is performing well. As part of the repairs, EB also replaced torpedo tube shutter bearings and performed additional testing. “For the removal of the rudder, we utilized new con-struction fixtures, which enabled us to save a great deal of time,” said Occhionero. “In addition, we supported about 10 – 15 alteration installation teams (AITs), who came in to work on a variety of areas, taking advantage of the boat being docked.” AITs typically come from outside companies or the Navy themselves.

Values and ethics are part of our daily decisions at work. Yet, how often do we take the time to consider

these in a meaningful way. Recently, leadership has rolled out three new core values; valuing each other, behaving with integrity and purpose, and committing to excellence. Have you taken the opportunity to put meaning to them?

To value someone means to show regard that someone is held to deserve; important, worthy, useful. When people feel valued, they are more likely going to make better ethical choices.

Honesty and dependability are traits that are expected in the workplace. With-out responsible behavior, distrust can make a work environment uncomfort-able, leading to an unethical culture.

Excellence is a quality that people appreciate, because it’s hard to find. Excellence is the quality of being the best at something. EB strives daily to be the best shipbuilder for the USN.

EB employees should promote an ethi-cal culture that connects to our company’s core values. While culture has many aspects and manifestations, its core values should include a clear sense of purpose and shared perspective that guides deci-sion making across the company.

If you have an ethics complaint, you should contact the General Dynamics Hotline which is available 24/7 at 800-433-8442 or 503-619-1815 for international calls. There are also resources for Ethical Decision-Making in the GD Standards of Business Ethics and Conduct (Blue Book) at (https://www.ebnet.gdeb.com/policy/ethics.html).

Additionally, the EB Ethics Director, Pete Stefanski, 860-433-0873, is available to answer any questions related to ethical decision making. Questions may also be submitted through the Eth-ics Helpline at www.gd.ethicspoint.com.

U.S. SECRETARY OF DEFENSE VISITS ELECTRIC BOAT

Electric Boat was privileged to host the newly sworn in U.S. Secretary of Defense, Dr. Mark T. Esper, at the

Groton shipyard on August 27, just one month into his tenure. Esper was joined by General Dynamics (GD), Navy and elected officials, signaling the importance of submarine programs to our company and our country.

The group included GD CEO & Chair-man Phebe Novakovic; Rob Smith, Executive VP of GD Marine Group; James “Hondo” Geurts, Assistant Secre-tary of the Navy (Research, Development and Acquisition); Conn. Gov. Ned Lamont; Conn. Congressman Joe Courtney; Senators Chris Murphy and Richard Blumenthal of Conn. and Senator Jack Reed of Rhode Island.

Esper toured the Combat & Control System Module Off-Hull Assembly & Test Site (COATS) and Building 260. Outside of Building 8N, he spoke with EB shipbuilders and the crew of USS South Dakota (SSN 790).

EB SHIPBUILDERS AND THE CREW OF USS SOUTH DAKOTA LISTEN TO SECRETARY ESPER’S REMARKS.

“It’s my fourth week on the job, and it’s a great privilege to be here,” Esper told the group. “Thank you for what you do. It’s a great example of the cooperation and collaboration between hardworking Americans, all committed to the same mission—deterring conflict around the globe, particularly on the high seas. It’s a model of American hard work, ingenuity and cooperation.”

When asked about the importance of the Virginia-class attack submarines, Esper replied, “We are back to the era of great-power competition between the U.S., Russia and now China. We have a distinct advantage in undersea warfare, with both our attack boats and boomers. They are innovative, well-built machines of war, and we have to maintain that overmatch. That means we have to continue to grow the fleet and build capabilities into each version, whether it’s this block or the suc-ceeding block.”

On September 13, General Dynamics announced the retirement of EB President Jeff Geiger, effective September 30, and the appointment

of Kevin Graney as EB President effec-tive October 1. In his farewell message to employees, Geiger recounted the great change and opportunity underway for the company.

“Thousands of new employees have joined our team, the production rate of the Virginia Class has doubled, the designs of VPM and Columbia are nearly finished, and we have started construc-tion on significant new facilities that will change the landscape of both Quonset Point and Groton. It has been a tremen-dous privilege to be a part of these significant achievements.

“I take my leave knowing I will miss working with you and being a small part of a tremendous enterprise accomplishing spectacular things…I’ll be closely watch-ing you with pride, and in knowing what it takes to produce a product that allows the country to sleep well at night. I’ll be forev-er indebted to your efforts.”

Kevin Graney left the presidency of General Dynamics NASSCO and assumed leadership of EB on October 1. “I am excited to re-join the men and women of Electric Boat,” said Graney in his letter to employees. “Over the course of our 120-year history, the EB team established a reputation for delivering the highest quality and most innovative sub-marine technology in the world. Our submarines provided our nation with a competitive advantage for over more than a century and will continue to be a criti-cal part of our nation’s defense for many years to come.”

Addressing Electric Boat’s impressive backlog of ships to be built, Graney said, “We continue to hire and train thousands of new shipbuilders to support this growth.

These jobs are vital to our regional econo-my…this is meaningful work that develops important skills, and provides each of us with an opportunity for not just a job, but a career in shipbuilding.

“This growth is not without its chal-lenges. Our shipbuilding team—including our Navy, Electric Boat, Newport News and our suppliers—must simply do bet-ter. Our efforts require world-class teamwork. Teamwork is built on trust and alignment toward a common pur-pose—designing, building and delivering the world’s best submarines. To succeed, we must scale our opera-tions from our current pace while maintaining an unrelenting focus on safety, uncompromising quality, and affordability,” he said.

Graney began his shipbuilding career with Electric Boat in 1995 as a senior

engineer, working on the high-speed tur-bine generator set for the Virginia-class submarine. He was then assigned as a fluid systems supervisor, working with Newport News Shipbuilding to design the reactor plant fluid systems of the next-generation aircraft carrier—the CVN 78 program. He later managed a team of Electric Boat designers and engi-neers in the development of fluid systems for the British Astute-class submarine program. After working on the British submarine program, he became the pro-gram manager of capital projects and metrics in the Virginia-class submarine program office.

Graney joined General Dynamics NASSCO in January 2006 as director of quality assurance and was promoted to vice president of engineering in July 2007. He progressed through a series of roles and in January 2017 became presi-dent of General Dynamics NASSCO and a vice president of the General Dynamics Corporation.
