Shipbuilders Celebrate Lincoln’s
26th Christening Anniversary
February 13, 2014 marked the 26th
anniversary of USS Abraham Lincoln’s
(CVN 72) christening. In honor of the
ship’s anniversary, shipyard leaders,
members of Lincoln’s ships force and
approximately 50 shipbuilders who were
part of Lincoln’s original construction
and who are also currently working
on the ship’s refueling and complex
overhaul (RCOH), were invited to a
lunchtime social to celebrate.

thanked the longtime shipbuilders in
attendance.
“Thank you for what you did in the
past, thank you for what you do now
and what you will do in the future,” said
Easterson.
During the event, the shipbuilders
reminisced about building Lincoln and

program manager. “Several apprentices,
my mom and I attended the christening.
There were tons of people, a lot of
balloons – it was an incredible event to
watch.”
Shipfitter Foreman Neil Small added,
“What’s special about this boat to me
is that from keel to mast, I did all the
errecting and setting work. It’s been out
to sea for 25 years and now its back for
its RCOH and I’m working on it again –
its a special boat.” Continued on p. 3

Production Refueling and
Nuclear Support Division
Presents Safety Trophies
On February 7, Director of Production
Refueling and Nuclear Support Mary
Cullen presented safety trophies to
a foreman, general foreman and two
teams. The awards were presented to
recognize the outstanding safety records
and contributions to safety at Newport
News Shipbuilding (NNS).
The general foreman award was
presented to Terry Nicolas. “Terry has
been at NNS for 46 years and has an
outstanding safety record,” said Cullen.
“His work in the demolition of the dry
dock complex has been outstanding. He
installed safety rails on Building 4557
and hired contractors to level the ground
around Dry Dock 3 so that people are
safe when walking in the area.”
The foreman award was presented to
Andy Hammonds. “Andy works on
reactor cooling pumps and has worked
diligently to ensure safety,” said Cullen.
“He initiates safety talks on a daily basis
to keep his crew reminded about safety.”
Safety trophy recipients included (L to R): Nicholas Miller, Louis Banks, Anthony Hammonds, Tommie Holloway,
Rudie Riddick, William Nicolls, Gary Saunders and Ronald Barham. Photo by John Whalen
The construction team award was presented to the team responsible for USS
Abraham Lincoln’s (CVN 72) Rotating Shield Deck. “Earlier this year, a shipbuilder
tripped over a wire cable on the ship,” said Cullen. “This team got together and
immediately found a solution to the problem so that the accident wouldn’t happen
again.”
The team trophy award was presented to the team responsible for barge operations.
“This team has operated the barge for 12 consecutive years without an accident,”
said Cullen. “It’s obvious that this team takes their safety responsibility serious.”
NNS Sponsors the 2014

Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS) was

BLACK
History Month
In 1926, historian Carter G. Woodson’s efforts led the
people of the United States to begin understanding
the immense contribution African Americans brought
to our culture. Woodson’s original Negro History Week
expanded to become Black History Month in 1976.
Newport News Shipbuilding recognizes the diversity
of cultures that make all of us strong and free.
This observance is endorsed by the
Newport News Shipbuilding Diversity Council.
