The award, set to be presented at a cer- emony in Washington, D.C., Dec. 9, recog- nizes the region’s 2013-2014 energy initia- tives and accomplishments to include en- ergy intensity and water intensity reduction across each of the six installations within NDW through the program’s focus on five energy pillars: energy culture, information, efficiency, renewable energy/alternative fu- els, and energy security. “We are extremely pleased and honored to be recognized by the Department of En- ergy for our energy accomplishments,” said NAVFAC Commanding Officer Rear Adm. Kate Gregory when the DOE awards were announced earlier this year. “Energy con- servation is a high priority at all of our bas- es, and these programs reflect our ongoing commitment in meeting the Secretary of the Navy’s energy goals.” The NDW energy policy released last year calls for energy to be a top priority for all hands at all times, and the program has con- tinued its efforts into 2014, launching new projects and bolstering leadership roles. Recent initiatives include the D.C.

About four years ago the state of Dela-ware became aware that eight, 16-inchMark 7 barrels were available and going tobe disposed of, according to Robin Staton,program analyst with the Dahlgren HistoryProject. The barrels drew interest from CapeHenlopen State Park in Lewes, Del.
“They were available at the PortsmouthShipyard at St. Julian’s Creek,” Staton said.“The Navy was going to scrap them.” Fur-ther research conducted by Jim Poyner, anaval history enthusiast and Naval SurfaceWarfare Center Dahlgren Division G De-partment employee, showed those soon-to-be scraps were part of the original barrels onthe Iowa-class battleships.
“Three of the barrels were from the [USS]Missouri, one was from the [USS] Iowa, andthe remainder were from the [USS] NewJersey,” Staton said. “We had made severalpeople that we knew were involved in his-torical preservation aware of the existence
of the barrels and Delaware wound up get-ting one of the barrels that had been onthe [USS] Missouri during World War II forCape Henlopen State Park.”
The gun will be moved to the Fort Milessite on the park grounds, which had been amajor coastal defense battery in World WarII, according to Staton.
“The state of Delaware had collected anumber of guns from here [Dahlgren] thatare currently on display there, including a12-inch gun that had been on the [USS Wyo-ming] battleship around the turn of the cen-tury,” Staton said. They also have a numberof three-inch, 50-caliber guns and an eight-inch railway gun from Dahlgren, but thebig armament at the fort had been the 16-inch mark-two Navy guns that had all beentransferred to the Army for coastal defensesites prior to and during World War II.
“The state [of Delaware], for a long timehad wanted to get a 16-inch gun to display atthe fort,” Staton said. “We put them in con-tact with the [Naval Sea Systems Command]people that were in charge of disposing ofall of the battleships’ spares. As a result,
over a process of 18 months to two years,they wound up getting one of the gun bar-rels that had been on the [USS] Missouri.”
In addition to wanting a gun barrel, thestate of Delaware decided they wanted toput together a whole gun, which would beessentially identical to the one on the Dahl-gren Parade Field, according to Staton. Thebarrel is from the USS New Jersey, which
was part of their armament that served dur-ing World War II.
“They contactedus,” Staton said.He addedthat they’ve gotten all their guns from Dahl-gren going back to themid-1990s.
“They are already there and on display,”Staton said. “We determined that therewere probably enough spare parts here (invarious places at Dahlgren) to assemble onemore gun. For the past 18 months, Delawarehad been working to get funding to movethe parts from Dahlgren to Henlopen. Sta-ton said they will probably now be workingon funding to assemble a gun. Delawaresubmitted a request to the Navy, whichwas approved to collect the gun parts fromDahlgren. That process began Sept. 2 whena crane company came on base to collectthe parts to assemble the gun.
“Essentially, the major part of the ef-fort last week was to get all the parts out ofthe range because they were all stored in atleast three different controlled areas of the

NDW recently expanded options for alternative and re-newable fuel use by installing electric vehicle charging sta-tions for personal use at Navy Exchanges in the area, and lastmonth announced a $27.9-million Energy Savings Perfor-mance Contract (ESPC) at Naval Air Station (NAS) PatuxentRiver to install upgraded lighting, ground source heat pumpinstallation, water conservation measures, thermostats andcontrols replacement, and building envelope upgrades.
Benson said several more ESPCs and Utility Energy Ser-vices Contracts (UESCs) are already in the works for 2015and later that will have a significant impact on reducingenergy and water intensity even further.
Other projects include replacing lighting fixtures withmore efficient LED lights at various locations, as well as ex-ploring options to possibly install solar photovoltaic panelsat Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling and NAS Patuxent River.
Earning the DOE award for the comprehensive programis a positive way to recognize the efforts of everyone in-volved across all installations and at all levels of the NDWenergy program, Benson added.
“We have a robust, comprehensive energy program thatis starting to really work on all cylinders right now with keypeople and key focus areas,” he said.”We’re starting to seebig differences being made. It’s an exciting time to be work-ing in energy.”

range,” Staton said. Some of the parts wereabout 100,000 pounds, according to Staton.
“It took a big crane to pick up the parts,”he said. Right now the parts are at two differ-ent locations on base outside of the range.
“We are also giving them a section ofthat piece of 18-inch armor plate which washoled by a 16-inch gun here - very similarto the piece of armor plate that’s out at thefront gate,” Staton said. He said there’s apiece out there that has a hole through itand also has a 14-inch projectile that hadpenetrated the armor, but the projectile isstill stuck in the armor plate.
“They wanted to have a comparable dis-play and there was a piece of armor here onthe main range that had the hole in it fromWorld War II and we gave them a section ofthat plate to put on display,” Staton said.“It’s a pretty graphic illustration of the pow-er of those guns.” The other piece that’s go-ing to Delaware is the slide assembly, whichis across the from the sea plane hangar.
“That’s a 105,000-pound piece of hard-ware,” Staton said. As it pertains to movingmassive parts going forward, Delaware and
the cranes will provide the heavy lifting, butDahlgren will continue to help.
“We will continue to provide technicalinformation,” Staton said. He also addedthat Poynor will probably have to provideDelaware with advice on how to assemblethe gun. “Their next step will be to raisemoney. It will be an expensive operation toput the gun together. It will involve cranes,people and very heavy lifting. It’s a fairlycomplicated operation, but there net resultwill be a gun that looks very much like thegun on the parade field here.
Staton said the Dahlgren History Projectgets satisfaction out the operation. “Ourrole here is to try to help preserve and pro-tect as many of the Navy-related artifactsas possible - to answer research questionswhich could range all across the board,” hesaid. “We received a request recently fromthe U.S. Army wanting to know the details ofan airplane crash that was here in 1983. Weanswer a lot of inquiries both from peopleinside the gate as well as outside. We’re try-ing to preserve significant pieces of Navyhistory that exist on base. In cases wherethere is strong interest from another orga-nization that has the capability to publiclydisplay and preserve unique Navy artifacts,we are certainly willing to help them.”

“Fuel Efficiency”1. Drive smoothly. Slowing down gradu-
ally, rather than jamming on the brakes,then accelerating slowly can save you asmuch as two miles per gallon. Plus it reduc-es wear on your brakes.
2. When driving on the highway, use yourcruise control to maintain a steady speed.
3. Remove unnecessary heavy items fromyour car. Every 100 pounds extra costs youabout half a mile per gallon.
4. Keep the tires of your car or truckproperly inflated. For every pound persquare inch (psi) below the proper levelthere is an average increase of 0.4 percentin fuel consumption; being low by as littleas four pounds of pressure can reduce yourmileage by 10 percent.
5. Ride a bike or walk to work, to the localneighborhood store, or to a nearby friend’shome. Total vehicle emissions are reducedto zero.
6. Don’t start your car until you’re readyto move; idling engines waste gas. If you areidling for more than one minute turn theengine off.
7. Fixing a car that is noticeably out oftune can improve its gas mileage by an av-erage of four percent.
8. Fixing a seriousmaintenance problem,such as a faulty oxygen sensor, can improveyour mileage by as much as 40 percent.
9. You can improve your gas mileageby one to two percent by using the manu-facturer’s recommended grade of motoroil. Using 10W-30 motor oil in an enginedesigned to use 5W-30 can lower your gasmileage by one to two percent.
10. Observe the speed limit—each fivemiles per hour you drive over 60 mph canreduce your fuel economy by 10 percent.
