Board critical of 9/11 memorial prelim design By GREG SKINNER Kitsap Navy News
The Bremerton Parks and Recreation board of commissioners Tuesday criticized conceptual plans for the Kitsap 9/11 Memorial in Evergreen Park as grandiose, East Coast-centric and lacking any connection to Bremerton or Kitsap County. “I still believe in this, but it’s got to be Bremerton–Kitsap County,” parks commissioner Chris Warthen said. Beyond the larger message to do something about the park’s “uncomfortable” design, overall size and classic safety concerns, park com-

Perpetual remembrance Sub vets organization exists to keep shipmates’ memories alive By GREG SKINNER Kitsap Navy News
When three World War II Submarine Veterans incorporated United States Submarine Veterans 47 years ago this week, Fred Borgmann was in North Idaho training under the father of the nuclear Navy on the prototype S5G reactor of the USS Narwhal (SSN-671). Decades would pass before he joined the sub vets and settled into their mission of perpetual remembrance of the 4,000 souls on “eternal patrol” with America’s silent service. Today, a retired Mustang with a sto-
ried career, Borgmann mans the national office of the 13,000-member organization who’s primary mission is to remember the lives lost since the first submarine program started 100 years ago. At Thursday’s “Tolling the Boats” Borgmann and scores of his brothers, active and retired, joined the staff of the Naval Underseas Museum and the public for the museum’s annual Memorial Day observance to remember the 52 submarines lost in World War II – only two have been lost since the close of the war. In the large gathering of sub vets was World War II submarine John Baker serving as the day’s patriarch. Baker’s first patrol was in 1944, more than a decade before the next senior sub vet in attendance. Commanding officer of the USS Louisiana Joseph Turk, speaking at the ceremony, said, that today’s submariners all benefit from the lessons learned as the submariners of World War II developed protocol and standards that became the base of today’s silent service. Turk remembered the great boats in
terms of their damage to Japanese shipping and Navy. The USS Wahoo and the USS Barb with 100,000 tons sunk. The greatest of all, the USS Tang, sank 31 ships destroying 200,000 tons of shipping. US Submarine forces in World War II represented two percent of naval forces, but sank 55 percent of all shipping, Turk said. “It came at a cost,” he said. Unlike all other military fraternal organizations in the US, perpetuating memory is the the mission of the USSV as set down my the organization’s founders. The VFW and American Legion along with a host of Navy social clubs and brotherhoods spend most of their energy and clout on improving the lives of veterans and lobbying congress to their benefit. The sub vets begin every meeting with a tolling for boats lost historically in each month. They host scholarships on local and national levels to keep their brothers’ names alive. When they can, they build

New CO for Stennis Strike Group USS JOHN C. STENNIS, AT SEA (NNS) – The John C. Stennis Carrier Strike Group held a change of command ceremony aboard the ship May 24. Rear Adm. Craig Faller relieved Rear Adm. Joseph Aucoin as commander, CSG 3. As commander, CSG 3, Aucoin led USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) to complete its planned incremental availability maintenance phase of deployment preparation and to be guided out of the shipyards directly into the workup process. Together, with the CSG, Aucoin oversaw completion of tailored ship’s training availability, the final evaluation problem and the Navy’s Board of Inspection and Survey from January to February 2011. Vice Adm. Gerald Beaman, commander
U.S. 3rd Fleet, presented the Legion of Merit to Aucoin in recognition of his efforts and the progress made during his time as the commander of CSG 3. “I really do wish I was going on this deployment,� said Aucoin. “I envy the heck out of you. I think I’ll be living vicariously through you guys. You’re really going to have a terrific deployment, and I can’t wait to hear all the good news coming from you all.� Faller is reporting to CSG 3 after successfully completing a tour as commander, Navy Recruiting Command. Faller, a Pennsylvania native and U.S. Naval Academy graduate, earned his Bachelor of Science in systems engineering in 1983. He then earned his master’s in national security affairs
strategic planning from the Naval Postgraduate School in 1990. In a brief speech, Faller detailed expectations for the CSG as well as expectations for himself. “We are warfighters,� said Faller. “This takes teamwork, hard work, training and trust. And who do I trust? I trust you. And now it’s my turn to earn your trust. We all might ask ourselves, ‘Who trusts us?’ America trusts us! To deliver. To be ready, on time, first time and every time - and we will,� said Faller. Faller is now leading the John C. Stennis CSG during its composite training unit exercise, a set of tests to prepare the CSG for long-term engagements overseas during an upcoming deployment.

Everett drills on toxic rail emergency EVERETT, WASH. (NNS) – Emergency response teams at Naval Station Everett coordinated with the city of Everett’s Fire Department and other local community authorities during the base’s annual emergency response exercise, ‘Reliant Cloud,’ May 25. The scenario simulated a landslide caused by heavy rain, resulting in a railway tanker car sliding onto the base and rupturing, releasing a toxic chemical cloud. Navy Federal Fire Department, Everett Branch Medical Clinic, and the City of Everett Fire Department responded to the incident and mock casualties. “The main focuses here are to evaluate our capability to effectively respond to and mitigate a hazardous material spill situation and also to build on our work-
ing relationship with our local mutual aid partners, who we rely on heavily,� said Lt.j.g. Derek Olsen, Everett Branch Medical Clinic’s emergency response manager. During the exercise, volunteer mock victims who had come in contact with the toxic chemical cloud were assessed by local firefighters and received treatment through a decontamination station set up at the base medical clinic. Firefighters secured the area and made reports to naval authorities. “It’s an ongoing process and we’re continuously expanding and evaluating, looking for new opportunities to improve our response services both inside and outside the gate,� said Navy Region Northwest Fire and Emergency Services

Our freedom is their legacy There is more than one holiday to honor those who served our country in the military. There is one, however, Memorial Day, that is reserved to remember those who didn’t make it back home. It is not just a day to recognize what was lost, however, but what was gained. But in order to appreciate the preciousness of the freedoms and security we have, it is necessary, perhaps, to attempt to fathom the loss. In the case of the baby boomers, many fathers cheered at ball games and yelled when report cards came home because they walked away from places like Normandy and Guadalcanal. Some didn’t walk away, but made it anyway. Today, there are households that will never bustle, bedtime stories that will never be read, whole lifetimes of love and disappointment that will never be lived. These people, these lives, these loves, simply put, will never exist. When one considers it, the sacrifice made by our fallen veterans, from Iraq to the Revolutionary War, is almost inconceivable. There are generations who were not born, and will not be born, doctors, presidents, poets, because at some point, their fathers and mothers were called upon to serve their country. Many reading this right now would not be here, would never have existed, if our father or grandfather was a tad less lucky, or had been called upon to make the ultimate sacrifice in defense of his country. That sacrifice, so that we can have presidents and poets, is a loss and it is tragic. But all of us, veterans, the children of veterans, are linked to those who did not make it back home. We can find their legacy, if we look, when we vote, when we read the newspaper, when we go to church. It is not a day to lament the lost potential, the human opportunity cost, but to take the time to fully appreciate what our fallen soldiers and sailors gave to us, a gift we enjoy every day because somebody paid for it with their life.

Memorial Day losing its meaning for some Most people equate the last Monday in May with barbecues, mattress sales and a day off of work. In fact, just last week, my son said, “We have no school on Monday because it is Memorial Day.” Beginning at the end of the Civil War, however, Memorial Day was intended to be a time to remember men (and now, women) of the armed forces who have died in service to our country. So I corrected my son: “It is Memorial Day because people in the military have died for us. And that is why you have no school on Monday.” Granted, this is a hard thing to keep in mind. We are bombarded with sales flyers, party supplies and advertisements that blur the lines between remembrance and celebration. Indeed, for many people, I think Memorial Day has become a second Fourth of July. Consider: Should we have fireworks at both? Should we wear funny hats and blow noise makers in May and July? The true meaning of Memorial Day was probably easier to recall during history’s greatest wars, when soldiers by the hundreds were dying overseas, and almost no family was unaffected. Then, on the last Monday in May, people proba-

bly didn’t feel like celebrating. They felt like remembering. AVY Military life and its sacrifices have less reach today. ISE And although we have lost thousands of troops in ARAH Afghanistan and Iraq, even MILEY those numbers are overshadowed by the death toll of other wars. But military men and women serve in war and in peace, and there is danger in both. Aviators, in particular (although definitely not alone), risk their lives even when they are “just” training in the United States. Off hand, I can think of several friends who have died in plane crashes that did not involve combat: Frank, Dustin’s friend from the Naval Academy; Adam, who helped plan Dustin’s bachelor party; Nick, who sat behind me in Spanish class in high school; and Clint, who died while his wife was pregnant with their third child. Deaths like these, as well as the ones that happen overseas and in a war, shake a community. The neighbors and friends of these men won’t soon forget the real meaning behind Memorial Day. But, unfortunately, in our atomized, status-update society, that influence has diminished.

Students design build and test ROVs in Navy outreach program POULSBO (NNS) – Following weeks of designand-build time under the tutelage of local Navy personnel, North Kitsap students put their remotely operated marine robots to the test in the pool. North Kitsap School District in partnership with Naval Undersea Warfare Center, Division Keyport; and Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility held a Remotely Operated Vehicle Pool Event at the North Kitsap Community Pool on May 20. Students from North Kitsap High School and district middle schools participated in a variety of challenges to test the ROV’s they spent several weeks designing and building in their classrooms. The pool event is the last step in the ROV program, where students put their hard work and skills to the test for the first time; this is a day they all look forward. Watching these geniuses (a.k.a. students) at work quickly proved an ROV is definitely not a “tub toy;” the use of robotics in a learning environment has sure come a long way! Laurie Musick, a retiree from NUWC, Division Keyport, and this year’s program lead for Poulsbo Middle School has been a volunteer, along with her husband, to mentor students in the classrooms and during pool events. “You watch their face
when they first put the [ROV] in the water and start operating and meeting the challenge,” shared Musick. “That is really the ‘ah ha’ moment.” JC Benson, eighth grader from Poulsbo Middle School, was enjoying piloting the ROV he put together. “I really just liked making it and seeing it all come together,” he said. “It was a good feeling.” Benson is one of more than 900 students throughout Kitsap County who participated in the SeaPerch and ROV programs in 2011. “In the beginning I thought engineering was really boring, but now I found it is really fun,” Benson said. “At first I wasn’t sure about it,” shared Amelia Cain, eighth grader from Kingston Middle School. “As soon as I started working on [the ROV] I just thought ‘this is so much fun.’ It was like I was meant to do it.” The ROV program for high school students, and SeaPerch for junior high students, is designed to stimulate interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math, or STEM. “This is a great example of community partnerships and school partnerships coming together,” stated Patrick Olsen, Director of Career and Technical Education for North Kitsap School District. “These students know the material and
know how to apply it. They are students you give something to and they are going to work through it; they won’t quit on you, they have a work ethic that I have to get it done.” The ROV program includes volunteers from throughout the area, including employees from North Kitsap School District, NUWC, Division Keyport, several retirees and PSNS & IMF who have provided technical assistance to the high school and middle school students throughout the evolution. Even the PSNS & IMF divers joined the fun by providing encouragement to the students and assistance to tangled and stranded ROVs from the depths of the pool. Stephen Mastel, PSNS & IMF electrician and a co-lead for the Navy’s ROV outreach program is

It is very exciting to see how [the students] get excited about solving problems, and when they have design flaws they overcome them.” The ROV and SeaPerch programs have reached students in the Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Central Kitsap, North Kitsap and South Kitsap school districts.
School of Health Sciences closes, training moves SAN DIEGO (NNS) – The Naval School of Health Sciences, San Diego, officially marked the end of more than 80 years of training during a disestablishment ceremony at the Naval Medical Center San Diego campus May 25. NSHS San Diego will relocate its programs to Fort Sam Houston, Texas, and become part of the Triservice Medical Education and Training Campus as part of the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure commission initiative. The consolidation of Navy, Army and Air Force medical enlisted training is the largest in Department of Defense history, making METC the world’s largest military medical education and training institution. “Today marks the end of an era, so we pause to recognize the rich legacy of your past, reflect on your accomplishments, and highlight your future legacy at METC in Fort Sam Houston, Texas,” said Rear Adm. Eleanor Valentin, commander of Navy Medicine Support Command and the ceremony keynote speaker. “Each of you will leave a legacy in the form of the Hospital Corpsmen you have trained. Your legacy is and will be training those who ensure the medical
readiness of the greatest naval force in the world.” Navy enlisted medical training in San Diego began when the West Coast Hospital Corps School moved from Naval Training Station San Francisco in 1928. The San Diego school was later closed from 19321935 and has resided in several locations since then. Advanced classes were taught at Hospital Corps School until the school’s evolved mission resulted in the formal recognition of the Naval School of Health Sciences July 1, 1974. Still, the NSHS disestablishment does not end all enlisted medical training at the NSHS San Diego facilities. Some Surface Warfare Medical Institute and advanced dental technician classes will be taught in the NSHS building. The remainder of the spaces will be used by the Naval Medical Center San Diego. Both staff and students said they will miss the history and tradition of advanced enlisted medical training in San Diego, but all agreed that the San Antonio consolidation is a good move. “I’m excited that I’m graduating, but I’m also kind of sad,” said Hospitalman John Betts, a Slidell, La., native who will graduate in June from the final NSHS
San Diego Medical Lab Technician class. “It’s been a tradition that everybody comes to San Diego at the Naval School of Health Sciences for MLT training.” Lt. Cmdr. Ronald V. Bajet, MLT program department head, said the two greatest benefits of consolidation with METC are standardization and cost effectiveness. “Having the enlisted personnel from the Army, Navy, and Air Force learn their technical specialties in the same classroom standardizes training,” said Bajet, a Corpus Christi, Texas, native. “In an operational setting, there is the possibility of laboratory technicians, radiology technicians or surgical technicians working alongside each other. By consolidating the training, this leaves no question as to what each other knows technically.” “I watched the disestablishment ceremony of our sister school, NSHS in Portsmouth, Va., in May last year,” said Capt. Debra Ryken, NSHS commanding officer said. “I heard Admiral Robinson say it’s not a sad time because it’s moving into the future. We set the foundation for the direction military medicine will go in the future. So, it’s not sad. It’s good.”

SUB VETS | FROM PAGE 1 memorials to keep alive members lost to the sea or battle. Other times, they give money to help memorial projects across the county. Two local memorials accessible to the general public include the sails from USS Sturgeon, lead ship of a class of 37 nuclear fast attack submarines, at the Underseas Museum and the USS Parche at the Puget Sound Navy Museum in Downtown Bremerton. The USS Triton is in Benton along the Columbia River near the Tri-Cities. Several others exist on NBK, out of public view. Most of the names come from the 52 subs lost in World War II. Throughout the Cold War that shortly followed the 1945 peace and into today’s regional operations, only two more have been lost – USS Thresher and USS Scorpion. Borgmann said that the sub vets consider every qualified submariner as a shipmate and thats that. To keep them alive it’s parades and memorials along with tollings. Tomorrow they’ll be at a small ceremony to be held at the Kitsap County Coroner’s office to honor a few indigent shipmates on eternal patrol before their final trip and internment at Tahoma National Cemetery. Two sections of the steel super structure of the World Trade Center await the beginning of the Armed Forces Day Parade Saturday in Bremerton. Preliminary plans for the Kitsap 9/11 Memorial, were presents to the parks board Tuesday and are centered on two beams. PHOTO BY GREG SKINNER
9/11 | FROM PAGE 1 missioners were primarily worried over plans to deal with future costs and maintenance of the memorial, which officials described as an expensive proposition. Park’s commission chair John Larson said the memorial plans, as presented, covered more than twice the land offered in a section of the park known as the “chevron property,� at the north end of Highland Ave. Of the 1,000 other 9/11 memorials planned across the nation, Larson said he couldn’t find another as big as the Kitsap 9/11 Memorial. “The scope is significant,� Larson said. Regardless of voiced concerns by commissioners, the board voted 6-2 to forward the conceptual memorial plans to the city council for all future action and directed the 9/11 memorial committee to consider making changes that bring Bremerton and Kitsap County into the design. The two no votes came from Larson and commissioner Joan Dingfield. Fergus said he accepted the critique of preliminary design as constructive. Fergus further noted that a non-profit organization was created and has given a 10-year memorial stewardship commitment to the city and that the memorial was not as big as it seemed on paper. The first draft plans include the use of 150 tiles made by local school children on the 10th anniversary of the attack, but is mainly
centered on two 20-foot sections twisted iron girders placed vertically at the center of a controlled approach through ground-zero-rubble inspired walls inscribed with stories of heroic acts committed during and after the attack. Fergus collected and edited the stories. “There is something about the steel from ground zero,� Fergus said. “People want to touch it.� Seen from above, a retaining wall mimics the shape of jet wings left in one wall of the towers before the collapse. Plans also include a pool of water to reflect upon the changes to American society since 9/11, such as development of TSA and Department of Homeland Security as well as immigration policy changes. “It reflects all that happened that day,� Fergus said. Dingfield said she regarded the stories proposed to cover the rubble walls as government propaganda and questioned whether or not the community would really want to reflect on the TSA or immagration change. “It’s off-the-shelf New York PR machine content,� Dingfield said. Referring to the thousands of active duty military families and defense workers that call the Bremerton area home, Dingfield asked the Fergus and 9/11 memorial design committee to consider that two-thirds of Kitsap County was directly reacted in some way to the attack and perhaps include some stories from Kitsap County as the memorial design develops further.
Combating the arguments against the New Yorkfocused theme, Fergus said it is exactly the New York 9/11 story and experience that he wants his children and others’ in Bremerton bremerton. “Heroes and acts of heroism,� he said. Public comment reached a heated peak when retired American Airlines pilot Jerry McDonald interrupted Bremerton resident Jane Rebelowski as she questioned the memorial committee and the city for putting the memorial in Evergreen Park in the first place. McDonald insisted Rebelowski’s disapproval of the plans was wrong headed. The memorial as planned would be a foundation for the rebuilding of a Bremerton that existed in before the 1980s. Memorial committee treasurer Corrine Beach said she likes the New York focus of the initial design. Many people will not ever get to
New York to see the monument there, she said. It was an attack on the entire country not just the East Coast, she said. The entire memorial project has evolved around the arrival of two pieces of steel girders from the World Trade Center wreckage acquired by the Central Kitsap Fire and Rescue. Agreements made with 9/11 families, in order to acquire the historical artifacts, require the metal to be available to the public in an open, accessible and touchable manner. All along the memorial committee has said the wish to honor New York’s version of that day. After being twice turned down to build the memorial at other locations, the committee appealed to Bremerton, which awarded the park land to the organization in a 9-0 vote before any design or planning stage began.

Keel laid for next Virginia-class sub NEWPORT NEWS, VA. (NNS) – The Navy celebrated the keel laying of Pre-Commissioning Unit Minnesota at Huntington Ingalls Industries - Newport News Shipbuilding in Newport News, Va., May 20. In a time-honored Navy tradition, ship sponsor Ellen Roughead, wife of Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Gary Roughead, had her initials welded onto a steel plate that will be permanently affixed to Minnesota’s hull. Mrs. Roughead, a former educator, has been a tireless supporter of military families and continuing education initiatives for Navy spouses. “We are honored to have Mrs. Roughead as Minnesota’s sponsor,” said Capt. Michael Jabaley, Virginia-class program manager. “The keel laying marks the beginning of a special relationship between Mrs. Roughead, this submarine, and her crew. Her dedication and support of our Sailors and their families is admirable and will pay dividends for the submarine force for years to come.” Minnesota’s keel-laying is the submarine’s first major event since it began construction in February 2008; the submarine is on track to continue the Virginia-class program’s trend of early deliveries. “Our shipbuilding partners have done an outstanding job of reducing the amount of time it takes to deliver these much-needed platforms,” said Rear Adm. David Johnson, program executive officer for submarines. “Their
hard work and ingenuity have helped put Virginia-class submarines with their tremendous capabilities into the hands of the submarine force at an increasing rate.” Minnesota is the tenth submarine of the Virginia class and the last of the second, or Block II, construction contract. The submarine, like all Virginiaclass boats, is being built under a unique construction contract between HII-NNS and General Dynamics Electric Boat (GDEB). In addition to Minnesota’s keel laying, the Virginia Class program will celebrate PCU California’s (SSN 781) commissioning in October and PCU Mississippi’s (SSN 782) christening in December. Also, for the first time in 22 years, the Navy will begin construction of two submarines of the same class in the same year when the unnamed SSN 787 officially starts construction in September. Virginia-class submarines are designed to dominate the world’s littoral and deep waters while conducting anti-submarine warfare; anti-surface ship warfare; strike warfare; special operation forces support; intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance; irregular warfare; and mine warfare missions. Their inherent stealth, endurance, mobility, and firepower directly enable them to support five of the six Maritime Strategy core capabilities sea control, power projection, forward presence, maritime security, and deterrence.

Not only did I want to raise funds for the recovery effort, I wanted to send hope and encouragement.” The fun run consisted of two laps around the old Ford Island runway. Participants received T-shirts after the run. “I was able to reach out to our Hawaii Ohana,” said Coughlin.

Pilot bonuses reduced for 2011 WASHINGTON (NNS) – In response to increased retention of pilots and naval flight officers at the department head and command levels, the Navy annnounced May 18 that it has restructured the Aviation Career Continuation Pay program for fiscal year 2011. “Providing appropriate incentives to retain skilled personnel for critical naval aviation billets is essential to maintaining combat readiness,” said Rear Adm. Tony Kurta, the director of military plans and policy for Chief of Naval Personnel. “Through a balanced bonus program, the Navy is able to retain a sufficient number of eligible pilots and naval flight officers through department head and command milestones.” To ensure an efficient use of funds, the fiscal year 2011 bonus program includes a general reduction in bonus amounts, as well as the alignment of available bonuses for department heads by aircraft type, model and series. For fiscal year 2011, department head bonus amounts vary depending on the airframe flown. Previous bonuses were $25,000 per year for all pilots and $15,000 per year for all NFOs, regardless of airframe. The department head bonus will no longer be offered with a lumpsum option. Additionally, the payment schedule has been adjusted and these officers will receive a reduced

amount until they are department head screened. The fiscal year 2011 ACCP program also makes bonuses available for lieutenant commanders and commanders who are serving at sea, but not on a long-term contract. Two-year contracts for non-command tours at sea have been reduced to $5,000 per year in fiscal year 2011 from $10,000 in fiscal year 2010. At-sea command bonus levels remain unchanged for fiscal year 2011. Three-year contracts for at-sea operational or operational training command tours will pay $12,000 per year. As in fiscal year 2010, O-6 aviators will not be eligible for ACCP bonuses.
FTS aviators will be eligible for bonuses of $10,000 per year in department head and officer-incharge categories, with contracts for command tours offered only for operational or operational training squadrons at $12,000 per year. An aviation officer has two opportunities to sign an ACCP contract – the first in the year prior to expiration of his or her minimum service requirement and the second in the year the MSR will expire. Fiscal year 2011 ACCP applications must be received by Sept. 23 for active duty aviators and Sept. 24 for FTS aviators. - All helicopter pilots, $10,000 per year; - EA-18G and EA-6B electronic air

Landing num. 400,000 for Enterprise
USS ENTERPRISE, AT SEA (NNS) -- An F/A-18F Super Hornet from the Red Rippers of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 11 became the 400,000th aircraft to land on USS Enterprise’s (CVN 65) flight deck May 24. Lt. Matthew L. Enos and Weapon System Officer Lt. Cmdr. Jonathan Welsh manned the Super Hornet for the historic landing. Enos said he is honored he was the pilot to put Enterprise on the short list of aircraft carriers with 400,000 landings. “This is a day I will never forget,� said Enos. “This has been a great deployment even without this feat. Being able to do this is just the icing on the cake.� Enterprise is only the fourth Navy aircraft carrier to have more than 400,000
carrier landings, and is the only carrier still in commission to surpass the number. Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 1, Enterprise’s embarked air wing, was honored to be a part of this great achievement. “I’m glad we were able to be here to pull this off,� said Capt. Jeffrey L. Trent, commander of CVW-1. “I give thanks to everyone involved in this landing. Many people don’t understand how many people are involved in landing a jet on a ship. This made everyone’s day.� Below the flight deck Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Equipment) 3rd Class Joseph R. Naval was manning the number two arresting gear engine when the 400,000th arrested landing was made. “It’s a great feeling to be

able to say you had a hand in making the history books,� said Naval. “It’s not a big surprise though, working on a ship as old as Enterprise means all of us on board are making history everyday.� Enterprise’s achievement falls on a historic year for naval aviation. One hundred years ago marks the birth of naval aviation, only eight years after the Wright brothers flew their historic flight.
“U.S. naval aviation has been at the forefront of our national destiny, and has become an unrivaled maritime force,� said Rear Adm. Ted Branch, commander, Naval Air Forces Atlantic. “Our forces are doing amazing work every day, around the world, and they are making a crucial difference in the ongoing operations.� U.S. Navy aircraft operate from nearly every ship in the fleet, as well as from bases
around the world, providing uniquely capable, forward presence and giving naval air assets access nearly anywhere in the world. “One of the greatest strengths that carrier aviation brings to the table is ‘presence,’� said Capt. Gregory C. Huffman, Enterprise’s executive officer. “Simply by moving into an area of operation, we play a part in shaping world events and defining national strat-
egy. In many parts of the world, the carrier and air wing dwarf the capabilities of entire air forces. That is a powerful tool.� In her 50 years of service, Enterprise has wowed many people and set many records. She is the first nuclearpowered carrier and the first nuclear carrier to transit the Suez Canal. Enterprise was the first carrier to fly F-14 Tomcats and is the longest warship in the world. This achievement of 400,000 landings is one more record added to the list. “I think it’s only fitting that a squadron with the impressive history of the ‘Red Rippers’ is the one to make this landing,� said Capt. Dee L. Mewbourne, commanding officer of Enterprise. “We are witnessing history.� The other three carriers with more than 400,000 traps are USS Lexington (CV 16), USS Independence (CV 62) and USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63). Enterprise and Carrier Air Wing 1 are in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of responsibility conducting close-air support missions as part of Operation Enduring Freedom.

Warrior Games end with Navy success Team Navy/Coast Guard earn 27 Warrior medals in second annual competition COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. (NNS) – Team Navy/ Coast Guard celebrated the end of the 2011 Warrior Games May 21, after winning a total of 27 medals during the games. The medals were won in a variety of events such as archery, cycling, swimming, track and field, and wheelchair basketball. Held annually, Warrior Games is a paralympicstyle competition among wounded, ill, and injured service members. “When a team manages to double its medal count
in one year’s time, it’s evidence of two things: training and dedication,” said retired Navy Master Chief Aviation Ordnanceman James “Will” Wilson, Team Navy/Coast Guard co-captain and manager of Navy Safe Harbor’s adaptive athletics program. “Our team had the biggest heart, and that carried us through the competition. We are one big extended family, and I couldn’t be more proud of what we have accomplished.” After finishing last during the 2010 Warrior
Games, Team Navy/Coast Guard moved up the ranks this year, seizing second place with 59.8 points. Though the Marine Corps team took home the Chairman’s Cup trophy, Team Navy/Coast Guard bested the Army, Air Force, and Special Operations teams. Using a weighted formula to compensate for team sizes, the Chairman’s Cup is awarded to the topperforming service branch. The final competitions of the Warrior Games were wheelchair basketball and sitting volleyball. Team Navy/Coast Guard defeated Air Force, 13-12 in wheelchair basketball, earning a bronze medal Friday evening. On Saturday, the Navy/Coast Guard’s sitting volleyball team lost to the Special Operations team.

Champions deliver gold Navy rider gets gold at Warrior Games COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. (NNS) – Team Navy/Coast Guard swam to victory in the swimming finals of the 2011 Warrior Games, May 20th. Their efforts netted nine gold medals, three silvers and a bronze from the men’s and women’s events. Navy Lt. Daniel B. Cnossen and Chief Special Warfare Boat Operator Daniel Hathorn earned three individual golds and one team gold each, leading the way for the Navy/Coast Guard swimmers. Cnossen, a native of Topeka, Kan., won individual golds in the men’s 50- and 100-meter freestyle (double lower-body amputees) as well as the men’s 50-meter dackstroke (double lower-body amputees). Cnossen, a Navy SEAL who continues to serve on active-duty, was injured in 2009 by an improvised explosive device in southern Afghanistan, which caused internal injuries and the amputation of both lower legs. He also participated in the 100-, 200- and 800-meter track events May 17th, earning a bronze medal in the 800-meter race for lower-body amputees. Hathorn won individual golds in the men’s 50- and 100-meter freestyle (upperbody impairment) and in the men’s 50-meter backstroke (upper-body impairment). The Ithaca, N.Y., native was injured during a deployment in 2009 and serves on active duty with the Naval Special Warfare East Recruiting Directorate in Virginia Beach, Va. Hathorn is also a member of the Navy/ Coast Guard wheelchair basketball team. Navy Aviation Ordnanceman 2nd Class Selemani Johnson added two silvers in the men’s 50- and 100-meter freestyle (spinal cord injury) events. Asked how he felt about earning two medals he said, “It’s awesome. It feels great to win, but it wasn’t the reason I came
here. It’s beyond my expectations and I’m very grateful.” In 2010, Johnson was struck by a car while riding a motorcycle, leaving him paralyzed. Born in Africa and raised in Dallas, Texas, Johnson also participated in the 100-, 200- and 800-meter wheelchair races as well as the sitting discus competition. He currently serves on active duty at the Naval Medical Center in San Diego, CA. Also earning two medals was Navy Lt. Melanie Monts de Oca. She won silver in the women’s 50-meter Backstroke event and a bronze in the women’s 50-meter Freestyle event. The former national powerlifting champion has had numerous physical challenges that have set her back. A snowmobiling accident caused serious injury to her right hip and she was diagnosed with a congenital heart condition and suffered a stroke. A surgery helped correct the heart defect and allows her to participate in competitive events. She has also participated in the women’s standing shot- put event. The Lakeland, Fla., native currently serves on active duty with Navy Safe Harbor at James A. Haley Veteran’s Hospital in Tampa. Explosive Ordnance Disposal 1st Class Patrick Woodruff and Construction Mechanic 3rd Class Aaron Heldreth added a gold medal each to the team’s collection. Woodruff, a Leonard, Texas native, earned gold in the Men’s 50-meter Backstroke (Single Lower-Body Amputees) event. Team Navy/Coast Guard has collected eleven gold medals, nine silvers and six bronze throughout the week of competition and is poised to add two more in wheelchair basketball and sitting volleyball.
COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. (NNS) -Cyclists for the Navy/Coast Guard Team rode to four medals, including a gold, in the 2011 Warrior Games’ fourth day of competition, May 20th. Retired Navy Builder Constructionman Roy Daniel “Dan” Peters and his ‘pilot’, Karl Erickson, earned the Navy/Coast Guard team its second gold medal of the games by winning the Men’s Tandem Cycling 30-kilometer race. “It feels great to contribute. I really pushed myself. And I have to contribute a lot of that to Carl, my tandem. He really pushed me hard to get the gold.” Peters, who became visually impaired following a surgery to remove a brain tumor, also competed in the 100-, 200-, and 800-meter track races earlier in the week. He competes with guides, like Erickson, who steer him along the course. “Dan is really good at cycling and, although he is new, he has taken to it really well,” Erickson said of Peters’ ability. “We came into it with a game plan on how to attack the race and we stuck to our plan and good things happened. Dan really stepped it up today.” Retired Navy Master-at-Arms 3rd Class Nathan R. DeWalt earned his third individual medal of the games by winning the bronze medal in the Men’s Handcycle
10-kilometer race. “It’s surreal to think that I am bringing home three medals for the Navy/Coast Guard Team, and finished third against such great competitors” he said. DeWalt, who became paralyzed in 2008 when a vehicle struck him as he rode his motorcycle, also won two silvers in the men’s 800- and 100-meter wheelchair races May 18th. Earning medals in the Men’s Recumbent Cycling 20-kilometer race were Coast Guard Chief Operations Specialist Chief Christopher (CJ) Shunk and 3rd Class Electrician’s Mate Michael K. Bell. Shunk, fought his way to a silver medal after a slow start while Bell earned the bronze. “Hopefully, my effort shows my gratitude for letting me be a part of the Navy/Coast Guard Team,” said Shunk of his performance. Shunk suffered a traumatic brain injury in a fall and employs adaptive athletics as part of his recovery. He looks to continue cycling with Colorado Springs Therapeutic Recreation Program. The four cycling medals bring the Navy/ Coast Guard Team’s tally to thirteen, one more than was achieved in the 2010 Warrior Games. The team has won two golds, six silvers, and five bronzes.

Comment sought on pile driving test for Bangor wharf expansion SILVERDALE, WASH. — The U.S. Navy would like to invite the public to comment on a Test Pile Program proposed in Hood Canal beginning this summer. The Test Pile program would involve the installation and removal of 29 open ended, hollow steel test and reaction piles ranging in size from 30 inches in diameter to 60 inches in diameter in Hood Canal over a forty day work period between July 16 and October 30, 2011. Impact pile driving activities will only occur from July 16 to October 14, 2011 and are contingent on the results of spawning fish egg surveys. Vibratory pile driving and other inwater work will continue through October 30, 2011. All piles will be driven to an initial embedment depth with a vibratory hammer. Data collected during pile installation and removal will be integrated into the design, construction, and environmental planning for the Navy’s proposed explosives wharf expansion. The Navy proposes to install the test piles in the location planned for EHW-2, just south of the existing EHW.
