In the most visible sign of progress since the Graving Dock 3repair project began last summer, the basin has been dewateredand is now being readied for the construction of concrete walls

inside the cofferdams that line the dock.Manager of engineering Jeff Shafer (467), who is overseeing the

work as leader of the Graving Dock Assessment Team (GDAT),said numerous EB personnel and outside consultants and contrac-tors have worked long and hard for seven months to bring the proj-ect to this point.

“Over the holiday break, the team was successful at dewateringthe dock with no unexpected incidents,” he said, adding, “Complet-

Graving Dock 3 will soonundergo long-termrepairs, following thesuccessful dewateringof the dock earlier thismonth.

Employees' Community Services Annual Fall Campaign Runs Oct. 25 through Nov. 12

PHASE TWO OF PROJECT ABOUT TO BEGIN

ing the dewatering by the first week of2005 was absolutely critical for beginningphase two of the repair process.”

Phase two, Shafer explained, willinvolve the construction of the new wallsand the anchoring of those walls to thebedrock below. It will also include theinstallation of various equipment and fit-tings, followed by flooding and drainingof the dock to demonstrate its adequacy,and, finally, a recertification inspectionby the Navy.

Engineering project manager AustinAlvarez (463), a member of the GDATand leader of the design review team,said the deadline to complete the work isFeb. 15, 2006. “We must meet that dateto support the main objective, which is toensure the Hawaii’s construction scheduleis not interrupted.”

Key to the design of the project,Alvarez said, was EB’s partnering withthree consultants for technical direction:Heger Dry Dock, Weidlinger Associates,and Whitman-Requardt & Associates. Inaddition, retired EB Director CharlieAldrich and engineering supervisor DanKitchel, a young engineer at the time ofthe original project in the 1970s, wereinvaluable with their intimate knowledgeof the dock’s design and construction.

Before the dock could be pumped out,the contractor chosen for the job, PeterKiewit Sons, Inc., had to complete theproject’s first phase – repairing the sheetpiles and stabilizing the soil in cell S-2,which split last May.

“The work on cell S-2 allowed us todewater the dock safely, but it is not ade-quate to recertify the dock,” Alvarezexplained. “We’ve still got a year’s worthof work ahead of us, but at least we cansee the rock ledge and cofferdams now.”

Alvarez said new laser-mapping toolsthat are used in submarine constructionwill also be used to provide precisebedrock measurements for the concretewall designs.

Principal engineer Glen Rice (463), aGDAT member and leader of the cell S-2repairs, said the contributions of EB

employees have been critical to the pro-ject’s success to date.

“People from throughout EB haveprovided excellent support to the con-tractors,” Rice said, citing the GDAT,EB Facilities supervisors, foremen andtradespeople, EB Security, and manyothers.

Alvarez commended several individu-als by name: GDAT members Rice,Kitchel, Gene Netze, Sean Davies, DougStudwell, Peter Schwarz, Jon Mogul, JayMinicucci, Bill McCormick, Jim Bourne,David Zoller, Chris Barrett, Dan Cor-man, Bill Newton, Steve Bell and Susan

Evans; Dockmaster Walt Kohn and staffmembers Bob Judd and Randy Sargent;Charlie Aldridge; and Tony Trobaugh ofSUPSHIP and Kevin Gatton ofNAVSEA.

“It’s been great the way everybody’sworked together,” Alvarez said.

Peter Kiewit Sons has been selectedthrough a competitive bid process to con-tinue with the long-term repairs to Grav-ing Dock 3. Peter Matson of GilbaneCo. has been hired as the constructionmanager, and Weidlinger Associates, amember of the design review team, hasbeen retained as the designer.

Backlog grows on strength ofaerospace, defense orders. Cash remains strong: $799 millionfor Q4, $1.8 billion for 2004

FALLS CHURCH, Va.

General Dynamics hasreported 2004 fourth quarternet earnings of $336 million,

or $1.66 per share on a fully dilutedbasis, compared to 2003 fourth quarternet earnings of $279 million, or $1.40 pershare fully diluted. Revenue for thefourth quarter of 2004 was $5.2 billion,compared to fourth quarter 2003 revenueof $4.7 billion.

Revenue for the full year of 2004 was$19.2 billion, compared with $16.4 bil-lion for 2003, an increase of 17 percent.Net earnings for 2004 were $1.23 billion,or $6.09 per share on a fully dilutedbasis, compared with net earnings of $1billion, or $5.04 fully diluted in 2003, anincrease of 22 percent.

During 2004 the company announcedplans to divest several businesses. Asrequired by generally accepted account-ing principles, the company’s reported$19.2 billion in 2004 sales excludes $375million in revenue associated with thesebusinesses. The income from these busi-nesses ($0.12 per share for the year) isincluded, but reported as discontinuedoperations on the company’s earningsstatement for both the quarter and theyear.

Net cash provided by operating activi-ties totaled $799 million in the quarterand $1.8 billion for the year. Free cashflow from operations, defined as net cashprovided by operating activities less capi-tal expenditures, was $709 million in thequarter and $1.54 billion for the year.Free cash flow from operations for theyear-ago period was $789 million in thequarter and $1.5 billion for the year.

Funded backlog at the end of 2004was $28.3 billion, and total backlog was$42.1 billion, compared to $25.1 billionand $39.9 billion, respectively, at the endof the third quarter 2004.

“General Dynamics generated solidreturns again this quarter,” said GeneralDynamics Chairman and Chief Execu-tive Officer Nicholas D. Chabraja. “Netearnings grew more than 20 percent overfourth quarter 2003, on revenue growthof approximately 10 percent. In addi-tion, we had another outstanding cashperformance in the quarter,” Chabrajasaid.

“In the Aerospace group, Gulfstreamhad tremendous order activity in thefourth quarter, resulting in a $586 millionincrease to its funded backlog. Severalkey program wins in Information Sys-tems and Technology resulted in anincrease of nearly $1 billion in its fundedbacklog; and Combat Systems’ fundedbacklog increased by approximately $200million, not including the impact of a260-vehicle order from Portugal thatremains to be finalized with our Euro-pean Land Combat Systems group,” saidChabraja.

“Additional awards since the end ofthe year further strengthened our back-log, including a $586 million contract fortwo T-AKE combat logistics ships

received by NASSCO, and a $562 mil-lion award for the second of two DDG-51 Arleigh Burke-class destroyers thatare in the Defense Department’sFY2005 budget,” he said.

“In three out of four of our majorbusiness groups, earnings and operatingmargins increased dramatically over theyear-ago period, and the growth offunded backlog in all four groups bodeswell for our future.

“Looking forward in 2005, we antici-pate continued solid performance fromCombat Systems and Information Sys-tems and Technology, margin improve-ment in Marine Systems and continuedimprovement at Gulfstream,” Chabrajasaid. “We expect 2005 earnings pershare from continuing operations toincrease in a range between 11 and 13percent. We also expect free cash flowfrom operations to approximate netearnings.”

During the recent delivery cer-emony for the Jimmy Carter(SSN-23), Prospective Com-

manding Officer Capt. Don Kelso wasgenerous with his praise of the organiza-tions that took the ship from christeningto handover to the Navy in a little morethan six months.

“This is truly a special day for us. I feellike I just received an early Christmaspresent. Congratulations to the men andwomen of Electric Boat on completingconstruction of Jimmy Carter and deliv-ering her to the U.S. Navy. When I tookcommand of PCU Jimmy Carter on 25January 2004, one of my first actions wasto walk the ship and get a feel for howfar along she was and how much workremained. I was absolutely awestruck atthe enormity and complexity of the ship.

I remember how impressed I was withthe design, but I was also struck by howmuch work remained and how muchtesting and training had to be completedin a short period to complete the shipand get her ready for sea.

“Well, 11 months later, I’m hereaccepting delivery of this magnificentwarship. I would call this a miracle, but Iknow how hard Electric Boat shipyard,the Supervisor of Shipbuilding – Groton,and the crew of Jimmy Carter worked to

Just before the holiday shutdown, Electric Boatdelivered the Jimmy Carter (SSN-23) to the U.S.Navy, the company's second delivery in a littleover two months. USS Virginia was turned overto the Navy Oct. 12. The Jimmy Carter, shownhere on sea trials, will be commissioned Feb. 19at the submarine base in Groton.

make this happen. So, it is not a miracle,but the will and teamwork of a dedicatedworkforce, crew and management teamto overcome all obstacles and get a hugejob accomplished.

“After taking Jimmy Carter to seathree times on sea trials, I am proud tosay that she is well built and meets myexpectations.

“Now, I want to recognize a few keypeople who made this all happen. First,the ship’s manager, Stanley Gwudz. Icould not have asked for a more tal-ented, dedicated, hard working ship’smanager. You never gave up and were

always straight with me. I am amazed byyour ability to manage an incrediblycomplex project, tracking thousands ofwork items daily while overcoming innu-merable obstacles. You are the real herohere today.

“Second, Seawolf Program ManagerKevin Devine. I can remember our manymeetings discussing the ship and manytimes me telling you that I didn’t thinkwe were going to make it, if we didn’t dothis or that. You always figured out howto make sure we had the people andresources we needed. You always keptyour sense of humor and always kept

your eye on the prize and made sure wemade it.

“I also want to recognize the thousandsof Electric Boat tradesmen, foremen,managers and engineers whose hard workand talent were instrumental in buildingthis ship. There are a few key guys thatstand out who deserve special thanks:Chief Test Engineer Mike Mulford, ChiefNuclear Test Engineer Ken Onarheim,Sea Trials Coordinator Rick Sears, fore-men Bob Kieffer, P.J. Evering and MikeTomminello. Well done.

“On the SUPSHIP side, congratula-tions to Seawolf Project Officer Cdr.Dave Goggins, Lt. Cdr. Chris Hansonand the many talented men and womenof Supervisor of Shipbuilding – Groton.Great job.

“I also want to recognize some of thekey support organizations that played amajor role in helping train my crew andhelping us reach this milestone. SUB-LANT representative Capt. Pat Gill andhis team. The Naval Reactors RegionalOffice headed by Mr. Rolf Zeising andhis team of professionals. CommanderSubmarine Group Two, particularlyCapt. Frank Lowery and his team ofprofessionals. Great job to all.

“Last, I want to congratulate my crew.It is a huge challenge to pull a group ofsailors and officers together from manydifferent backgrounds and experience lev-els and build them into a dedicated, well-trained team ready to safely take a newship to sea for the first time. You guyshave earned my respect and admirationfor a job well done.”

Director of Ships Management Kevin Devine and Supervisor of Shipbuilding Capt. Jeff Reed exchangecongratulations during a ceremony held to mark the delivery of the submarine Jimmy Carter (SSN-23)to the Navy.

From left, pipefitter apprentice Bek Williams (243) and pipecoverer Ken McCall (246) help sort materialin the Lagger Shop’s newly reorganized storage area.

At The Lagger Shop,Success Follows Success

Having witnessed what onerecent process improvementproject can do for their effi-

ciency, Electric Boat’s pipecoverers havewasted no time pursuing another.

Just months after developing up newsewing-machine tables that help reducearm and shoulder fatigue, the employeesof the Lagger Shop have implemented a5S reorganization of their storage roomsthat will help reduce downtime andheadaches.

“A year ago we couldn’t walk in here,”said foreman Harlan Trudeau (246) as hestood in the pipecoverers’ Building 154storage area, which features new ceiling-high storage racks. “Everything on theseshelves was stacked here in the middle ofthe room – the room was all boxes; thehallway was all boxes.”

Tired of dealing with such a disorgan-ized workspace, Trudeau and his crewkicked off their 5S project. They sortedtheir materials, discarding what they nolonger use; they set their remaining sup-plies in order; they shined up the area;they came up with a standardized stor-age plan; and now they will have to sus-tain their new system.

Trudeau said pipecoverer Ron Ninteau(246) determined the shelving needs forthe storage area, and also helped figureout the most efficient way to reorganizethe room. Once the new racks were pur-chased and installed, Ninteau, Paul Ver-gason, Allen Bugbee and numerous oth-ers began chipping away at the myriadboxes.

“Now we can see just what we have for

material,” Ninteau said. “We don’t haveto hunt for it for 15 or 20 minutes. Plus,knowing what we have makes our order-ing more efficient, too – we only orderwhat we need when we need it, and areless likely to run out.”

Pipecoverer Ken McCall (246) said the5S project will be a real efficiency boosterfor the shop.

“It’s a lot better, a lot neater, and it’sgoing to make it a lot easier to keepthings straight,” he said.

Trudeau said the success of the reor-ganization is the direct result of every-one’s efforts to make it happen.

“I thank and appreciate all the pipefit-ters and laggers who contributed to thisproject in any way,” he said.

SAN DIEGO, Calif.

NASSCO has announced that the U.S.Navy has exercised options to build twoadditional ships under the T-AKE pro-gram, a new class of combat logisticsforce ships. The $586 million contractbrings the total number of ships awardedto NASSCO to eight, and the total con-tract value to $2.5 billion. The T-AKEcontract includes options for an addi-tional four ships.

Exercise of this option expandsNASSCO's backlog to 11 ships, thelargest in the company’s history. In addi-tion to the eight T-AKEs, the company is

building three double-hull oil tankers forBP Shipping Company of Alaska.

Construction on the first T-AKE, theUSNS Lewis and Clark, began in Sep-tember 2003. Delivery is scheduled forlater this year. The second T-AKE, to benamed the USNS Sacagawea, is now infull-rate production for delivery in 2006.

The T-AKE is a dry cargo/ammunitionship that will be operated by the MilitarySealift Command, providing logistic liftfrom sources of supply either in port or atsea. The ships will transfer cargo –ammunition, food, fuel, repair parts, andexpendable supplies and material – to sta-tion ships and other naval forces at sea.

The T-AKE will substantially upgradethe Navy’s ability to maintain its forward-deployed forces, replacing aging T-AEammunition ships and T-AFS combatstores ships that are nearing the end oftheir service lives.

The T-AKEs will be the first modernNavy ships to combine proven interna-tional marine technologies such as anintegrated electric-drive propulsion sys-tem with commercial design features thatwill minimize the cost of operation andmaintenance over their expected 40-yearlife.

Electric Boat Lands $5.6 Million ContractModification For Submarine Work

Electric Boat has been awarded a $5.6 million contract modification for nuclear-sub-marine work by the U.S. Navy The contract modification requires Electric Boat to provide design agent, planningyard, engineering and technical support for nuclear submarines. If all options are exer-cised and funded, the overall contract could be worth more than $1.1 billion over fiveyears. It was initially awarded March 3, 2004.

Ninety-five percent of the work will be performed at Groton; 2 percent at Newport,R.I.; 1 percent at Quonset Point, R.I.; 1 percent at Bangor, Wash.; and 1 percent atKings Bay, Ga. Work performed under this modification is expected to be completedby September 2008.

Navy Awards Electric Boat$6.3 Million Contract Option For Sub Parts

The U.S. Navy has awarded Electric Boat a $6.3 million contract option to provideon-board repair parts for the Virginia-class submarine North Carolina (SSN-777).

Work will be performed at Electric Boat in Groton (55 percent) and at NorthropGrumman Newport News (45 percent) in Virginia. Northrop Grumman is ElectricBoat’s teammate in the Virginia-class submarine program.

The option was exercised under the $4.2 billion contract awarded to Electric Boat inSeptember 1998 for the construction of the first four Virginia-class submarines. Thelead ship of the class, USS Virginia (SSN-774), was delivered to the Navy by ElectricBoat in October 2004.

Navy AwardsElectric Boat$8.7M For SSGNMaterial

The Navy has awarded Electric Boatan $8.7 million material order for thepurchase of long-lead-time materialrequired to support ship alterations onUSS Michigan (SSBN-727) and USSGeorgia (SSBN-729).

Electric Boat is currently engaged inthe conversion of these two Trident bal-listic-missile submarines – along withUSS Ohio (SSBN-726) and USSFlorida (SSBN-728) – to SSGN multi-mission submarines optimized for tacti-cal strike and special-operations sup-port. This award will support alterationsto be performed after the conversionsare completed.

CONTRACTROUNDUP

Like all Quonset Point workareas, Bay 1 in Building 2003 isalways teeming with activity.

The past year included work on twolarge projects, which were completedrecently with shipouts of Sections 8 and9 of Hawaii (SSN-776) and Section 8 ofNorth Carolina (SSN-777).

Sections 8 and 9 of the Hawaii wereshipped to Groton Nov. 17. The manu-facturing of Section 8 took place atQuonset Point. After receiving Section9 from Northrop Grumman NewportNews in March, Quonset Point employ-ees spent eight months pairing the two

sections and sliding the Raft section intothe unit. Quonset Point performed morethan 360,000 hours of work on thisproject.

Several milestones were marked dur-ing this work:

■ Over the course of the eight-monthperiod, there were no lost workdayinjuries

■ A 25 percent cost savings over similarwork performed on the USS Virginia(SSN-774) was achieved

■ Only 660 hours of off-loaded workwere required (off-loaded work refers to

These acts of generosity and human-ity prove what I have always believedabout the people of Connecticut: Weare an extraordinary community, will-ing to work together to face any diffi-culty and braced by strong personalvalues.

Thank you again for your supportduring this crisis. As always, the peopleof Connecticut will come throughtogether.”

In addition to the 1,500 shotsdonated by the Groton shipyard to theVisiting Nurses, the Quonset Point sitecontributed its supply of 800 vaccina-tions to the Rhode Island Departmentof Health.

“The unit was a real challenge

based upon the scope of the work.

But the teams of people did a

great job, which is clearly evident

by the savings we achieved.”

T he Navy has awarded Elec-tric Boat a $1.5 billion modi-fication to its FY04-FY08

Virginia-class multi-year contract,which provides funding for the FY05multi-year ship (SSN-780), advanceprocurement funding for the FY06 ship(SSN-781), and economic order quan-tity funding for FY06-08 ships (SSN781-783).

Work will be performed in Groton,Conn. (30 percent), Quonset Point, R.I.(15 percent), and Newport News, Va.(15 percent), with other efforts per-formed at various sites throughout theUnited States (40 percent). Work isexpected to be completed by April2014.

With this funding, Electric Boat andits construction teammate, NorthropGrumman Newport News, will con-tinue to achieve economy-of-scale effi-ciencies in the production of Virginia-class submarines. The Virginia classrepresents the U.S. Navy’s first majorcombatants designed specifically forpost-Cold War missions.

A total of 10 Virginia-class shipshave been ordered. In October 2004,Electric Boat delivered the lead ship ofthe class, USS Virginia (SSN-774), tothe U.S. Navy, which commissioned thesubmarine later that month. Nine moreships – including the five funded by themulti-year agreement – remain undercontract.
