Fall 2015 - Marinette Marine
FMM Launches LCS 9 Little Rock Successful Builder’s Dock Trials, Acceptance Trials, and Delivery of future USS Milwaukee (LCS 5). See page 4 for details. The U.S. Navy, along with ship’s sponsor, Mrs. Janée Bonner, christened the future USS Little Rock (LCS 9), the fifth FMM Littoral Combat Ship of the Freedom variant, in a ceremony on July 18, 2015. On Saturday, July 18, the ninth littoral combat ship, the future USS Little Rock (LCS 9), got one step closer to patrolling the world’s shorelines and open seas when she was christened and launched into the Menominee River. Ship sponsor, Mrs. Janée Bonner conSecretary Ray Mabus names LCS 21 & LCS 23. See page 3 for further information. Fall 2015 ducted the time-honored tradition of major milestone along the way to her assuming her place as part of the great U.S. Navy fleet,” Bonner said. Secretary of the Navy, Ray Mabus, who served as an officer aboard the cruiser USS Little Rock (CG 4), gave the keynote address to a crowd of 2000 at the christening event held at Fincantieri Marinette Marine (FMM). christening the ship by smashing a bottle of champagne across the bow. “It is such an honor and a privilege to serve as the sponsor of the future USS Little Rock and to be a part of this “This is the 5th ship we have built in the Littoral Combat Ship series for the U.S. Navy: it establishes Marinette’s ever Continued on page 2. FMM Launches Future USS Little Rock (LCS 9) Continued from page 1. President’s Message As part of our turnaround plan it is imperative that we deliver to all commitments and focus on the tasks at hand. It will take the support of every FMM employee to achieve our performance goals and reap the benefits for the entire company. • The U.S. Navy accepted LCS 5 on 16 October. It is Navy property ‘visiting’ our yard until 11 November when she sails away. We have all been invited to attend her commissioning. This event will be held on Saturday, 21 November, 1:00pm at Veterans Park at Milwaukee’s Lakefront (Milwaukee, WI). Tickets still available by visiting her website: http://www.ussmilwaukeelcs5.org/ • Due to having to overcome the issue we faced with LCS 5 & 7, it has generated a large cost overrun and put us behind schedule on LCS 9 & 11. We must achieve the recovery plans we have discussed with our customer. • We must use lessons from LCS 5, 7, and 9 to ensure LCS 11 launches within expectations. growing importance in the shipbuilding industrial base of this country and reinforces further the connection between FINCANTIERI, the largest shipbuilder in the Western world, and the United States, the world’s premier maritime nation,” stated Dr. Bono, CEO of FINCANTIERI. “This future USS Little Rock will use interchangeable mission modules that empower her to face a variety of highpriority missions,” said LMCO Vice President of Littoral Ships & Systems, Joe North. “She is ideally suited to navigate the reefs and shallows in the Asia-Pacific, as so well demonstrated by USS Fort Worth on her current deployment.” The Little Rock is one of seven littoral combat ships under construction at Fincantieri Marinette Marine. Detroit (LCS 7) was christened and launched in 2014. Sioux City (LCS 11) is in construction, Wichita (LCS 13) had her keel laid in February 2015 and Billings (LCS 15) keel laying is scheduled for November 2015. Indianapolis (LCS 17) and St. Louis (LCS 19) are in the construction phase. • LCS 13 fully erected 21 October — under 7 months since move-in. • LCS 15’s keel laying to take place in early November. Seven ships in production — indefinitely. Accomplishing all milestones will highlight our transformation to serial production. Sincerely Jan Allman, President - CEO/GM e2f Marine Trivia Little Rock will be the first of eight eventual Freedom-class Littoral Combat ships to be home ported in Mayport, Florida. She will be the model of modularity. Depending on her mission package (which requires only a 3-day turnaround), she can conduct anti-submarine, anti-surface warfare or mine countermeasures missions. In addition, Little Rock will also be a launch pad for aircraft (manned and unmanned) and unmanned surface and underwater vehicles. She has a built-in capacity for growth; with a sensor package and equipment designed to use open architecture. This architecture is already linked to a vast network across the U.S. Navy fleet.

It is a good problem to have! As we hit our stride we will have seven hulls in serial production for the foreseeable future. We must now focus on delivering those ships on the “front end.” LCS 5 will sail away in November and a goal has been set to commence LCS 7 trials before the onset of ice this year. Delivering LCS 5 was a massive boost for the program and the yard. All the hard work of the last six years will pay off as our assembly line starts cranking them out! LCS 9 was successfully launched on 18 July! This was a success story of the co-developed “launch criteria.” This is the first hull to comply with this standard, which sets a high bar for the entire class. This was a major accomplishment for the program and the yard. We tend to focus a lot on the delivery end of our assembly line; the waterfront. But over the last year, the work load of the “back end” (hulls 17 and beyond) has multiplied. In September, LCS 17 achieved the 100 long tons milestone, and LCS 15’s keel laying is scheduled for November. This is another example of everyone needing to keep their eye on the ball, in every SOC, every day, in order to meet the performance goals of each milestone. Every hull is a priority. All of these milestones culminate with the customer at the quarterly “Shipbuilding Production Progress Conference (SPPC)” scheduled for early November. At this conference, we will describe to Lockheed and the Navy our progress on attaining full rate serial production, and our ability to sustain seven ships in production. Navy Names Two LCSs The Secretary of the Navy, Ray Mabus, has announced the names of the next two Freedom-variant Littoral Combat Ships (LCS). On Saturday, July 25th, LCS 23 was named the future USS Cooperstown and on Thursday, September 3rd, LCS 21 was named the future USS Minneapolis/St. Paul. LCS 23 will be the first ship to bear the name Cooperstown. It was named to honor the 64 veterans who are members of the National Baseball Hall of Fame located in Cooperstown, New York. These veterans served in conflicts ranging from the Civil War through the Korean War. The future Minneapolis/St. Paul was named in honor of the citizens of Minnesota’s Twin Cities who have a long and proud history of naval service. It will be the second ship to bear the name. The first, a submarine, was commissioned in 1984. FMM is under contract with Lockheed Martin for the construction of LCS 21. Full funding for the construction of LCS 23 is anticipated by the end of 2015. The FMM Hotline Task Force Team wants to know if you have witnessed any unsafe practices, quality of work issues, theft, or breach of security throughout any FMM building or the yard. Call 715-735-4754 and leave an anonymous and secure message outlining your concern and include, time, date, ship, building and/or location of incident. e3f Mackinaw Gears Up for Ice Season Future USS Milwaukee at Sea Trials The USCG Icebreaker MACKINAW (WLBB-30) (known to most FMM employees as the GLIB), recently completed repairs at Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding (FBS) in preparation for winter operations on the Great Lakes. Winter operations are especially hard on icebreakers and their endurance is paramount to shipping on the Great Lakes. Last winter, ice breaking started in December and lasted for 128 days, according to the U.S. Coast Guard. The scope of work included repairs to the port-side azipod and air compressor overhaul; inspection of CO2 cylinders and the fire suppression system; inspection of the air receiver; deck renewal, door replacements and cleaning of ballast, waste and fuel tanks. Bay Shipbuilding Wins New ATB Contract Spring 2015 – Bay Shipbuilding has been awarded a contract for the new construction of an Articulated Tug-Barge Unit (ATB). The unit will consist of an 8,000–HP Tug and a 155,000barrel capacity barge. The award is for one ATB unit for Plains Towing – Settoon, with one additional option, and is scheduled for delivery in mid-2017. e4f September 2015 – After completing Builder’s Sea Trials (BST) in August/ September, the future USS Milwaukee (LCS 5) proceeded to successfully complete Acceptance Trials (AT) on September 18th. Acceptance Trials are essentially the last inspection before delivery to the U.S. Navy. Rear Admiral Sam Perez, President of the Board of Inspection and Survey (INSURV), rode along for the LCS 5 Acceptance Trials; it is highly unusual for the commander of INSURV to ride a ship during AT, and is indicative of the significance the U.S. Navy places on this event for the Freedom Class. plishment we have experienced in the LCS Program over the last several years. With many design changes implemented, LCS 5 is the first of the new revised Freedom Class LCS to be delivered. The LCS 5 sail-away is scheduled for mid-November making way for LCS 7 through 17 which are already under construction. Congratulations and thanks to all involved in getting LCS 5, and the entire program, to this point. In our hurried and hectic days, we must take time to stop and congratulate ourselves and thank all those who contributed to the significant accomplishments we have achieved to date. The successful accomplishment of LCS 5 trials and its culminating Delivery to the Customer is the biggest accom- U.S. Navy Accepts Delivery of USS Milwaukee October 2015 – The future USS Milwaukee was accepted by the U.S. Navy during a ceremony at the FMM shipyard on October 16 after successful completion of trials. This transfer of authority from manufacturer Lockheed Martin to the U.S. military marks the final milestone before the ship is formally commissioned on November 21, 2015. Milwaukee will be homeported in San Diego following its commissioning with sister ships USS Freedom, USS Independence, USS Fort Worth, USS Coronado, and the future USS Jackson. New Chapter for the Name “USS Indianapolis” An exciting new chapter begins here at Fincantieri Marinette Marine this year in the naming of the future USS Indianapolis. LCS 17 will be the next to carry-on the name of the USS Indianapolis, and is the most recent to start construction at FMM. Three previous U.S. Navy vessels were named Indianapolis, the most famous being CA-35. July 30th of this year marked the 70th year anniversary of her loss. Jan Allman, FMM President, CEO and GM states, “I am so proud that the Secretary of the Navy chose one of the Freedom Class LCS to bear the same name of such a historic ship, with a harrowing past that reminds us of the sacrifices made by our service men and women.” Jan went on to say, “We need to be ever vigilant that every ship we deliver is not only a testament to our industry team, but is also a tribute to the proud legacy that is the U.S. Navy.” As shipbuilders we often think only of the iron hull and not the people within. Following is a brief history of the ship that was sailed by an unstoppable generation of sailors known as “Men of Courage.” The Sailor’s Creed Semper Fortis “Always Courageous” USS Indianapolis (CA-35) was a Portland class heavy cruiser of the U.S. Navy named for the city of Indianapolis, Indiana. While in service, she earned 10 gold battle stars. Her sinking led to the greatest single loss of life at sea in the history of the U.S. Navy. In July of 1945, the Indianapolis was the flagship for the Fifth Fleet in battles across the Central Pacific. On 30 July, after delivering parts for the first atomic bomb to the United States air base at Tinian, the ship was torpedoed by an Imperial Japanese Navy submarine. She sank in 12 minutes. Of 1,196 crewmen aboard, approximately 300 went down with the ship. The remaining 896 faced exposure, dehydration, saltwater poisoning, and shark attacks while floating with few lifeboats and almost no food or water. The Navy learned of the sinking when survivors were spotted four days later by a patrolling aircraft. Only 317 survived. Indianapolis was the second of two ships in the Portland class. Ordered for the U.S. Navy in 1930, Indianapolis was originally designated as a light cruiser. Later, however, during construction she was given heavier armor and was re-designated as a heavy cruiser and given the hull classification symbol CL-35. The Portland class cruiser had an overall length of 610 feet 3 inches, 592 feet long at the waterline, 64 feet 6 inches abeam, and a draft of 21 feet. When completed her displacement was 9,800 tonnes. The ship had four propeller shafts and four Parsons GT geared turbines and eight Yarrow boilers. The 107,000 shaft horsepower gave a design speed of 32 knots. She was designed for a range of 10,000 nautical miles at 15 knots. She rolled badly until she was fitted with a bilge keel. The cruiser had nine Mark 9 8"/55 caliber guns in three triple mounts, a superfiring pair fore and one aft. For anti-aircraft defense, she had eight 5"/25 caliber guns and two QF 3 pounder Hotchkiss guns. In 1945, she received 24 Bofors 40mm guns, arrayed in six quad mounts and were upgraded with twelve Oerlikon 20 mm cannons. No torpedo tubes were fitted on her. As a fleet flagship, the Indianapolis had an aircraft catapult amidship. She could carry up to four aircraft. The total crew varied, with a regular designed complement of 807, a wartime complement of 952, which could increase to 1,229 when the cruiser was a fleet flagship. Indianapolis was laid down by New York Shipbuilding Corporation in March 1930. She was launched in November 1931 and commissioned in November 1932. She was the second ship named for Indianapolis following the cargo ship of the same name in 1918. The third to carry the name was a Los Angeles-class attack submarine in service from 1980 to 1998. For complete historical information on the second ship named USS Indianapolis (CA-35), please contact Eric Kurowski, FMM Electrical Foreman and Historian. e5f Kirsten J. Schultz Danielle R. Antonson Kirsten is a Shipfitter at Fincantieri Marinette Marine (FMM) and has been with the company for nearly 4 years. In 2002 she joined the U.S. National Guard Military Police (MP)/ Special Force Brigade and from 2002 - 2011 she served with the 32nd Brigade Special Troupes Battalion (BST) Headquarters Company (HHC) out of the Wausau/Merrill area. During her time with the Wausau unit Kirsten supported the Southwest Border Mission working with the U.S. Border Patrol to control immigrant movement between the borders of Nogales, AZ and Nogales, Mexico. Danielle is a Welder at Fincantieri Marinette Marine (FMM) and has been with the company for nearly 3 years. After completing basic training at Lackland Air Force Base (AFB) in San Antonio, TX in 2006, Danielle joined the U.S. Air Force Reserves 440th Civil Engineering Squadron at Milwaukee’s General Mitchell AFB. She received additional training at Sheppard AFB in Wichita Falls, TX. Since 2011, Kirsten has supported the 157th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade (MEB HCC) from Milwaukee, WI as a MP Staff Sergeant (E-6 SSG). Plus, she spent nearly a year during this timeframe with the 97th Agricultural Development Team (ADT) in Madison, WI. You can join the others posted on the FMM “Wall of Honor,” or be featured on this page by contacting Marissa Axtell, x6604, to complete a registration form. Danielle’s 2008 tour was at Hickman AFB on the island of Oahu, HI. While on the island, the squadron built new housing on the Helemano Plantation which provides a “real world” environment for developmentally disabled people. Danielle was recognized for designing a new basic training coin for future graduating Airmen from Lackland AFB. In 2013 she also received recognition in the September/October edition of Our Wisconsin as a woman welder at FMM. In 2009, the U.S. Air Force Reserves dissolved her squadron, consequently Airman First Class Antonson was placed in Inactive Ready Reserves until honorably discharged in 2013. Jan’s Second Quarter All-Hands In early September, the FMM second quarter “All-Hands” meetings were held. “All-Hands” or ‘town hall’ meetings began just over a year ago to create a medium for open communication between Jan Allman, FMM President CEO/GM, FMM Senior Leadership Team (SLT), and FMM employees. These meetings provide employees with a venue where they can express their viewpoints, questions, frustrations, concerns, and suggestions. Often times employees furnish the SLT with data that assists them in identifying and addressing issues of concern. In some cases FMM leadership readily supplies answers to the employees’ questions and concerns; however, when their concerns are not addressed immediately, notes are taken and action is given to the appropriate leader to research and follow-up in the weeks following the meetings. Fincantieri Marinette Marine continues to look for men and women who want to be part of America's premier shipbuilding team.

Crews from ships stationed across Alaska, Washington State, Oregon and Canada participated in drills, performed maintenance and attended training sessions. This year’s roundup included buoy tenders built by Fincantieri Marinette Marine including USCGC Spar, Maple, Hickory, Fir, Sycamore, Elderberry and Henry Blake. These buoy tenders are the service’s pickup trucks of the sea — the vehicles that do hard, necessary, but typically unglamorous work of replacing buoys and maintaining navigation lights. Reuben Lasker Surveys Pacific Whales Gray Whales Right Whales August 2015 - The R/V Reuben Lasker (FSV-6), departed San Diego on its first scientific mission surveying gray whales along the Pacific Coast. Marine Trivia e8f Roughly 10 scientists aboard the Reuben Lasker surveyed gray whales as the ship passed through the north end of Vancouver Island. The scientists were interested in studying a group of gray whales which, unlike most grays, do not migrate north to summer in the Bering and Chukchi seas. This particular whale group spends their summers feeding between Kodiak and Northern California. Once Lasker reached Kodiak, Alaska its focus shifted to a rare and imperiled species - the North Pacific right whales which are among the most rare and endangered whales on Earth. The Alaska Fisheries Science Center now estimates that about 30 adult right whales remain, making them likely the world’s smallest whale population. Following the August search for right whales, the Lasker turned south from Kodiak where scientists again focused on gray whales feeding south of the Aleutian Islands. The Lasker was selected for this survey because it is engineered to operate quieter than other similar ships, minimizing disturbance to the fish or marine mammals it is studying. She also carries the latest navigation and acoustic technology for tracking and assessing whales and their population.

A film crew for Hawaii Five-O used the aft deck to shoot a scene. from Marinette Marine T/S State of Michigan at Bay Shipbuilding Originally launched in 1985 as the USNS Persistent; the T/S State of Michigan was at that time commissioned as a Stalwart-class Tactical Auxiliary General Ocean Surveillance Ship. In 1998, when the fleet was decommissioned, the USNS Persistent was transferred to the U.S. Coast Guard and slated for drug regulation. However, even after she was overhauled for her new role, it was determined that she was too slow to keep up with the drug policing and became available to other government agencies. The Great Lakes Maritime Academy in Traverse City, Michigan, worked with the U.S. Maritime Administration and negotiated a transfer of this vessel to the academy. In August 2002, she was re-named the T/S State of Michigan. In 2005 the T/S State of Michigan underwent a major renovation at Fin- cantieri Marinette Marine. Under the direction of James (Jim) Schacht, Senior Project Engineer, she was converted to a training ship for the Great Lakes Maritime Academy. Her conversion included maintenance and overhaul to prepare her for her new freshwater home as a training ship, Since then she has provided many Academy cadets a laboratory where they can apply the theories and skills they have learned; and underway time preparing them for their commercial sea projects. The T/S State of Michigan now resides at the Northwestern Michigan College on West Grand Traverse Bay. In June of this year, the T/S State of Michigan was docked at Bay Shipbuilding for her 5-year hull survey and a full hull painting. During her time at Bay, the yard was able to meet the demands of a tight schedule and still meet the expected departure date of July 30th. R/V Sikuliaq Receives Upgrades and New Paint The past several months were busy for the R/V Sikuliaq. She entered drydock on April 19, 2015 to undergo many planned improvements including a new A-frame, added aft mast platform, and the addition of a third radar system (ice radar). In addition, she also received a new coat of paint. By the end of June, Sikuliaq was on her way to the Aleutian Islands. Through August she was assisting in the recovery of seafloor electromagnetic receivers while in the Aleutians. T-AFT’s 171 & 172 Hard at Work July – August - USNS Apache (T-ATF 172) arrives in San Diego towing the U.S. Navy submarine ex-USS Miami. Apache departed Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, ME in June with the fire-damaged, decommissioned submarine. San Diego was a short stop for the submarine which was then towed by USNS Sioux (T-ATF 171) to the Puget Sound Naval Ship Yard in WA; whereupon she will enter the Nuclear Ship & Submarine Recycling Program and be scrapped.

FMM Supports Local Lion Club “Recycle for Sight” Drive In just about any “junk” drawer in any American home, one can find a pair of old eyeglasses that are no longer being used. That same pair of eyeglasses can change another person's life when donated to the Lions Recycle for Sight program. Donate eyeglasses and change someone's life. Imagine if you could help a child read, an adult succeed in his/her job or a senior maintain their independence. That's why the FMM Outreach Committee chose to support the Lions Recycle for Sight program this year. From September 16th through October 14th, 50 eyeglasses were collected in the Lions collection pail throughout the FMM office buildings. FMM has delivered them to the local Lions Club. They will be transported to regional Lions Eyeglass Recycling Centers (LERCs) early next month. At the center, volunteers will clean, sort by prescription strength and package for distribution. Most of the recycled glasses are distributed to people in need in developing countries where they will have the greatest impact. Thank you for your contribution. Fireworks, Food, Parades and Outdoor Music Festivals As summer comes to a close, the residents of Marinette, Menominee and surrounding counties have enjoyed a popular selection of outdoor music, crafts, parades, games, car shows, 5k and 10k walk/ runs and foods of all kind as we partook in the Marinette Logging and Heritage Festival (July) and the Menominee Waterfront Festival (August).

Both of these Festival parades entertained thousands of spectators young and old as they marched down the city streets of Marinette and Menominee. FMM employees joined the fun as they marched with FMM’s LCS float handing out candy to the eager children and waving to onlookers. Each parade included over 100 entrants, including color guards, floats, fire trucks, and marching bands. Area 5k (3.1 miles) and 10k (6.2 miles) races, whether walked or ran, have quickly gained popularity among walkers/runners of all abilities. Whether as competitors or simply for the pleasure of a fun run, FMM employees participated in the local races as follows: (1) BAMC Waterfront Festival Run - 10K run Chuck Bunton 1st place overall, Cengiz Atam and Derek Techmeier, (2) BAMC 10K walk - Bob Watkins; (3) BAMC 5K run - Tim Fowler, Dave Corry, Nicole Semrau, Dennis Pantti, and Greg Abbs; (4) Logging and Heritage Festival; Ella Smetana Memorial Run – 5K run Chuck Bunton, Cengiz Atam, Nicole Semrau, Amanda Hass, and Derek Techmeier. e 15 f Unity Club Picnic a Success Celebrating FMM Anniversaries The Unity Club picnic has been a beloved tradition for employees of FMM for over 36 years.
