NEWPORT NEWS, Va.
In an event held at Northrop GrummanShipbuilding earlier this month, Ship Spon-sor Donna Willard authenticated the keel of
the submarine California (SSN-781), markingthe ceremonial start of construction of theeighth Virginia-class ship.
“From my heart, I want you all to know howhonored I am to be the sponsor of the USS Cal-ifornia,” said Willard, the wife of Adm. RobertF. Willard, commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet.“It’s not just about the steel on the outside of theCalifornia that makes this so exciting for me, butrather it’s the men on the inside. They are thesons, the brothers, the husbands and the fatherswho will give life to this boat. They are the oneswho go in harm’s way in defense of our free-dom.”
After Willard chalked her initials on to ametal plate, they were welded on to the plate byNewport News welder Scott Hallinger. The platewill be permanently affixed to the submarine.
Also participating in the ceremony were U.S.Rep. Bobby Scott (D-Va.); Adm. Kirkland Don-ald, director of Naval Nuclear Propulsion; Elec-tric Boat President John Casey; Sector Vice Pres-ident and General Manager of Northrop Grum-man Shipbuilding – Newport News Matt Mul-herin; and Cmdr.

this vision was the introduction of newtechnology, including the use of lasertechnology.
Laser marking and laser cutting wereintroduced in 2001 to the steel processingarea followed by laser tracking in 2002,laser scanning in 2004, light fabricationlaser cutting in 2005 and laser projectionin 2007.
Some of the more significant resultsachieved include improved ergonomics,improved accuracy of cut parts, elimina-
tion of secondary operations and thereduction of fitup time.
“When measuring in direct and sup-port cost savings, it’s clear that laser tech-nology has made a significant impact atQuonset Point in its manufacturingprocesses,” said Tony Moniz, director ofmanufacturing and planning at QP.
The cost savings achieved so far withthe employment of laser technologyinclude:
“Laser technology has been an essen-tial component of Quonset Point’s manu-facturing and outfitting processes in boththe manufacturing and support sides ofthe business,” said Moniz.

M A R I N E S Y S T E M S N E W SGeneral DynamicsAwarded Contract For Additional LittoralCombat Ship
BATH, Maine
The U.S. Navy has awarded a con-tract to a Bath Iron Works-ledteam for the construction of
Coronado (LCS-4), the second LittoralCombat Ship (LCS) to feature an inno-vative, high-speed trimaran hull.
The 419-foot surface combatant ship,equipped with open architecture-basedcombat systems and computing environ-ment developed by General DynamicsAdvanced Information Systems, will bemanufactured by Austal USA in Mobile,Ala. It is scheduled for delivery to theNavy in May 2012.
The Littoral Combat Ship is a key ele-ment of the Navy’s plan to addressasymmetric threats of the 21st century.Intended to operate in coastal areas, theship will be fast, highly maneuverableand geared to supporting mine detec-tion/elimination, anti-submarine warfareand anti-surface warfare, particularlyagainst small surface craft. The Navy’sfirst trimaran LCS, Independence (LCS-2), is in the final stages of constructionand testing in preparation for its upcom-ing sea trials.
This contract will support more than500 jobs in Austal’s Mobile shipyard, aswell as more than 100 employees of BathIron Works in Bath and Mobile, andAdvanced Information Systems in Pitts-field, Mass., Mobile and other locations.
“Recent maritime events have clearlyvalidated the need for the U.S. Navy tohave the capabilities offered by LCS.We’re proud to be playing an importantrole in fulfilling that need,” said JeffGeiger, president of Bath Iron Works.“Our team is ready to apply the lessonswe’ve learned during the construction ofIndependence (LCS-2) to help makeCoronado the most-affordable, most-
effective LCS it can be.”The ship’s open architecture computing environment – another key factor in meeting
the U.S. Navy’s requirements for a flexible, reconfigurable mission ship – enables indus-try’s most capable, affordable, non-proprietary solutions to be incorporated into the itscore mission system. This computing environment, developed by the Advanced Infor-mation Systems team, provides a highly flexible information technology backbone thatallows “plug and play” integration of both the core systems and the LCS mission mod-ules. It meets Navy open architecture requirements, strictly adheres to published indus-try standards and facilitates the integration of commercially available products. It alsoallows for future growth and seamlessly integrates combat-system components to createa core mission system solution that dramatically lowers acquisition and lifecycle costs.
Bath Iron Works is the prime contractor for the General Dynamics Littoral CombatShip Team. Partners include Austal USA (Mobile, Ala.); BAE Systems (Rockville,Md.); Advanced Information Systems (Fairfax, Va.); L3 Communications Marine Sys-tems (Leesburg, Va.); Maritime Applied Physics Corporation (Baltimore, Md.); andNorthrop Grumman Electronic Systems (Baltimore, Md.).
Bath Iron Works Marks DDG 111 Keel LayingWith First “Ultra” Unit
Representatives of the U.S. Navy and Bath Iron Works recently participated in abrief shipyard ceremony to mark the keel laying of Spruance (DDG-111),BIW’s 33rd Arleigh Burke-class destroyer.
The Spruance keel unit, a 900-ton ship module, had earlier been moved to its ship-building station on BIW’s Land Level Transfer Facility (LLTF) using multiple self-pro-pelled mobile transporters. This module, the first in BIW’s 124-year history to encom-

pass the full girth of the ship, from the keelto the weather deck, is also the first UltraUnit to be completed in the shipyard’s newUltra Hall facility, which opened in 2008.
The 1.5 acre Ultra Hall allows BIW toaccomplish significantly more construc-tion, preoutfitting and testing of ship unitsindoors in climate-controlled conditionsthat enhance workforce safety and produc-tivity. Since inaugurating its LLTF in 2001,the shipyard has steadily increased the sizeand content of its ship modules, which hasimproved shipyard efficiency and producedsignificant cost savings for the U. S. Navy.The Spruance keel unit represents the nextmajor step in the shipyard’s commitmentto construct high-quality, affordable ships.
Major “firsts” achieved in the construc-tion of the Spruance keel unit includedinstalling thousands of feet of cable, com-pleting compartment air tests, verifyingintegrity of water tight doors, and complet-ing pipe segment testing within the unit. Allof these activities have traditionally beenaccomplished in later stages of construc-tion.
This ship module is the most completelypreoutfitted and tested unit yet constructedat the shipyard. These advances in produc-tion capability are moving the shipyardtoward even greater efficiencies on DDG-112, the last ship of this class currentlyunder contract, and are paving the way forefficient construction of DDG-1000, thefirst ship of the Zumwalt-class destroyer,which is now in its early stages.
DDG-111 is named to honor AdmiralRaymond A. Spruance, USN, whose calmand decisive leadership at the Battle of Mid-way contributed to the pivotal Americanvictory. Leading Task Force 16 during thebattle, with two aircraft carriers, Spruance’sdisposition of forces and management ofavailable aircraft proved to be brilliant. Hisdecisions during that action were importantto its outcome, which changed the course ofthe war with Japan.
Spruance is scheduled for delivery to theNavy in the fall of 2010.
marines and resolve design issues with hardware being installed and tested onsubmarines. Atwell later joined teams engaged in the design and manufactureof components for Seawolf and Virginia-class submarines, developing expert-ise in the design, manufacture and operation of bearings for various mechan-ical applications. His capabilities in this area have been recognized by thecompany and the U.S. Navy. Additionally, Atwell has mentored several newengineers, providing them with the technical guidance vital to maintainingthe company’s capabilities.
Andy Bliss. Since joining Electric Boat in 1980, he hascombined strong analytical skills with a thorough under-standing of the company’s processes and products. Bliss’scontributions to the design and construction phases of sev-eral submarine programs, including the Virginia program,have helped support increasingly aggressive build schedules.He has also provided technical leadership in support of BathIron Works’ Littoral Combat Ship, and is now a technical
lead in the design of the next-generation submarine, contributing valuableinput required for strategic and tactical decisions in the areas of conceptdevelopment, design and structural engineering. Working with the shipyardorganization to resolve construction issues in a timely way, Bliss, a lead inter-nal structures engineer, also participates in the daily resolution of complexproblems, satisfying the requirements of the company and the customer.
John Kelley. Beginning his 26-year Electric Boat career asa cooperative education student, he has demonstrated hisability to solve difficult technical issues. As the engineeringsupervisor in the propulsion plant pump group, Kelley over-saw the development and qualification of numerous pumpsused in the Seawolf and Virginia-class programs, and pur-sued design changes to make the pumps more affordable, aneffort that was recognized by the Navy. In the advanced com-
ponent development group, he investigated new technologies for use in futureship propulsion systems, and co-authored a license that allows other compa-nies to employ Electric Boat’s intellectual property for component manufac-ture in adjacent markets. Kelley recently joined the propulsion plant valvegroup, where he is supporting the company’s technical capabilities by helpingdevelop the talents of new engineers.
Bob Walsh. Since joining the company in 1981, he hasmade significant contributions to the design and analysis ofa range of submarine mechanical systems including steeringand diving, masts and antennas, hydraulic accumulators,ship-service hydraulic power plants and most recently,hatches and operating gear. In Walsh’s current assignment assupervisor of internal mechanical systems, he has establishedhimself as a subject matter expert on hatches and operating
gear, and is recognized by Electric Boat management and the Navy. Hisgroup has successfully designed, manufactured, operationally tested andshock qualified the 30-inch diameter hatches used by Special OperationsForces and for submarine escape and rescue on Virginia-class and SSGNsubmarines. Walsh is now leading a multidisciplinary team of engineers anddesigners engaged in the development of the Virginia Payload Tube andrelated operating gear.

makes it more likely that you’ll spreadthe infectious material not only toyourself but to others as well. Youspread these germs by touching youreyes, nose or mouth. And you canspread these germs to others bytouching them or by touching surfacesthat they may come in contact with.
While most people will get over acold, the seasonal flu can be muchmore serious. Some people with theseasonal flu, particularly older adultsand people with chronic medicalproblems, can develop pneumonia.The combination of the seasonal fluand pneumonia, in fact, is the eighth-leading cause of death among Ameri-cans, with more than 36,000 individu-als dying each year.
Recently, much has been writtenabout a novel H1N1 virus AKA theSwine Flu. What everyone needs toknow is that other than social distanc-ing (keeping a distance from sick peo-ple), the most effective method ofinfection control is hand washing.
And it’s not just colds and flu we’retalking about. Other infectious dis-eases that spread through hand-to-hand contact include several gastroin-testinal disorders, such as infectiousdiarrhea. Inadequate hand washingcontributes to frequent food-relatedillnesses, such as salmonella and E.coli infection. According to the Cen-ters for Disease Control and Preven-tion (CDC), as many as 76 millionAmericans get a food-borne illnesseach year. Of these, about 5,000 dieas a result of their illness. Othersexperience the annoying signs andsymptoms of nausea, vomiting anddiarrhea.
Do It Right!Good hand hygiene comprises sev-
eral acts and agents. The most com-mon is the basic washing of yourhands with soap and water. In gen-eral, regular soap is fine. Antibacterial
Simple and EffectiveIt’s hard to believe, but it has only
been a little over 160 years since thehuman race discovered one of thetruly astonishing preventive meas-ures against infectious diseases ...hand washing.
As it is told, the story is set in thematernity ward of a large clinic inVienna. There our hero, Dr. IgnazSemmelweis, noted that women weredying of infections at an alarmingrate after giving birth. It’s said thatthe women also noticed this as thereports of the day suggest theybegged to be discharged immediatelyafter delivery so as not to succumbas so many others had. Their con-cern was well-founded as the deathrate was five to 10 times higher thana home delivery. It was at this timethat the visionary Dr. Semmelweischanged the course of history bymaking his medical students washtheir hands.
What Semmelweis discovered wasthat most of the dead and dyingwomen had been treated by his med-ical students. Through meticulous
examination of clinical practices, hediscovered that medical studentswho assisted in childbirth often didso after performing autopsies onpatients who had died from sepsis(of bacterial origin). After he insti-tuted a strict policy of hand-washingwith a chlorinated antiseptic solu-tion, mortality rates dropped precipi-tously within three months, demon-strating that transfer of diseasecould be significantly reduced by thissimple hygienic practice.
Thus began the science of infec-tion control as practiced in everyhospital in the world today. Fromthis basic observational experiment,we now have public-health policythat recommends hand washing inthe community, in schools, childcaresettings and restaurants.
Why Not?Since most infectious disease
experts generally cite hand washingas the single most effective way toprevent the transmission of disease,you would think it would be prettymuch automatic for most people towash their hands. But it’s not. Whydon’t more people perform this sim-ple act on a regular basis?
One theory is that people in gen-eral tend to discount the ability ofan everyday, simple, routine healthpractice as having significant powerto impact deadly disease. In short,despite the proven health benefits ofhand washing, many people don’tpractice this habit as often as theyshould even after using the toilet.
Throughout the day germs accu-mulate on your hands from a varietyof sources. These include direct con-tact with people shaking hands orclose bodily contact, for instance. Bytouching surfaces (such as doorknobs), foods, and animals or theirwastes, your hands become contami-nated. Infrequent hand washing

soaps have become increasingly pop-ular in recent years. However, thesesoaps are no more effective at killinggerms than is regular soap. Manyexperts suggest that the overutiliza-tion of these antibacterial soaps maylead to the development of resistantbacteria, meaning that they willbecome resistant to these soaps. Thecombination of scrubbing yourhands with soap – antibacterial ornot – and rinsing them with water,loosens and removes bacteria fromyour hands.
To properly wash your hands withsoap and water, you should:
� Wet your hands with clean run-ning water and apply soap. Usewarm water if it is available.
� Rub hands together to makelather and scrub all surfaces.
� Continue rubbing hands for 20seconds. Need a timer? Imaginesinging “Happy Birthday” twicethrough to a friend!
� Rinse hands well under runningwater.
� Dry your hands using a papertowel or air dryer. If possible, useyour paper towel to turn off thefaucet.
� If soap and water are not avail-able, use alcohol-based gel to cleanyour hands.
When using an alcohol-basedhand sanitizer it’s important to knowthat they are actually more effectivethan soap and water in killing bacte-ria and viruses that cause disease.But they are not better at getting dirtand grime off your hands. Commer-cially prepared hand sanitizers con-tain ingredients that help preventskin dryness. Using these productscan result in less skin dryness andirritation than hand washing. AtElectric Boat we have begun toinstall hand sanitizers throughoutmany of our high traffic areas. They
contain the CDC recommended alco-hol content.
We recommend that when using analcohol based sanitizer that you:
� Apply the product to the palm ofone hand.
� Rub your hands together.
� Rub the product over all surfaces ofyour hands and fingers until they aredry.
� If your hands are visibly dirty, how-ever, wash with soap and water, if avail-able, rather than a sanitizer.
When should you wash yourhands?
Although it's impossible to keep yourbare hands germ-free, there are timeswhen it's critical to wash your hands tolimit the transfer of bacteria, virusesand other microbes.
Always wash your hands:
� After using the toilet
� After changing a diaper. Wash thediaper-wearer’s hands, too.
� After touching animals or animalwaste.
� Before and after preparing food,especially before and immediately afterhandling raw meat, poultry or fish.
� Before eating.
� After blowing your nose.
� After coughing or sneezing intoyour hands. (It’s preferable to coughinto your upper sleeve.)
� Before and after treating wounds orcuts.
� Before and after touching a sick orinjured person.
� After handling garbage.
� Before inserting or removing contactlenses.
� When using public restrooms, suchas those in airports, train stations, busstations and restaurants.
