NNS Converts
to Natural Gas
As of Oct. 5, Newport News Shipbuilding has converted its
steam-generation plant from heavy fuel oil, also known as
Bunker C, to natural gas to improve safety and lower operating
costs and emissions to the environment.
The plant generates low-pressure steam to heat many of the
shipyard’s facilities, to provide process heat and to support
hotel services – including hot water, food preparation and galley
services – to the ships undergoing construction and overhaul.
“We started researching and evaluating alternative options about
four years ago with the goal of implementation by 2016,” said
Bill Cash-Robertson, environmental engineer. “Not only does
the conversion to natural gas make good business sense, it’s
more efficient, it’s cleaner, and it’s safer to operate.”
The old system, which included three 70-year-old boilers, burned
about 6 million gallons of heavy fuel oil last year, costing the
shipyard about $15 million. Plant Engineering Supervisor
Ken Allmon, a member of the shipyard’s energy management
team, said the new system will reduce greenhouse gases by 30
percent and save the shipyard several million dollars per year in
lower utility costs. “The team is proud of our work to overcome
technical challenges and implement a solution that...

Nearly 50 Newport News Shipbuilding employees, family and friends
participated in the Southside Hampton Roads Heart Walk at Mount Trashmore

heart disease so this is very important to me,” he said. “I walk every year and

opportunities we have to raise awareness for a good cause – you never

Fitter Darryl Dildy (X11) also participated in the walk as a member of the “Sub
Shop Happy Hearts” team. “We take so many things like being able to walk, for
granted,” he said. “I just lost a classmate of mine last week to a heart attack,
so this walk means a lot to me. I think everyone should take advantage of the
It’s not too late to join a team or sign up individually for the Peninsula

Employees Recognized for
Participating in the Kennedy
Keel Laying Ceremony
Newport News Shipbuilding leadership held a
recognition luncheon on Sept. 22 to recognize
three employees: Welder Donald Newsome
(X18), Welder Leon Walston (X18) and Sr.
Reproduction Clerk Antuan Barnes (O14),
for their contributions to the John F. Kennedy
(CVN 79) Keel Laying Ceremony that was held
Aug. 22. During the ceremony, Barnes sang the
national anthem, Newsome gave the invocation
and Walston welded Ship’s Sponsor Caroline
Kennedy’s initials onto a metal plate that will be
permantely affixed to the aircraft carrier.
At the luncheon, Ray Bagley, vice president
of Trades Operations, and Rob Hogan, vice
president of Manufacturing and Supply
Chain Management, congratulated the three
employees for a job well done.
“Being recognized was very encouraging and
uplifting,” said Barnes. “To know that the

leaders who hold such high positions here at the shipyard, are complimenting my performance made
me feel so proud. It also encourages me to explore more of my talent across the country! I hope I will
be able to sing the national anthem for upcoming events here at the shipyard and to be around such
wonderful people and leaders.”

Shipbuilding is once again the key sponsor for the 2016 One City
Marathon. The Communications Division is looking for shipbuilders and
teams who are running the marathon, relay or 8K, and who are interested

Cohort 2 Completes E&D’s Rotational Program
On Oct. 2, 13 employees completed Engineering and Design’s (E&D)
Rotational Program. The participants are the second rotational group to
complete the two-year E&D program.
Tony Woodrum, a member of Cohort 2, said, “The rotation program
sheds light on how important it is for each of us to approach our jobs
with absolute dedication and commitment every day.”
The program, started by Jennifer Boykin, vice president of E&D, began
two-and-a-half years ago to increase awareness of various shipbuilding
value streams and to develop high achievers and future leaders for
Newport News Shipbuilding. The rotational program continues to grow
with four cohorts rotating every six months though different areas of
the company including: Augmented Reality, Common Integrated Work
Package, Test Engineering and Kesselring Site Operations in New York.
Currently, the program has 59 participants with the addition of the most
recent group – Cohort 6.
“This has been and will probably be the most fortunate and beneficial
opportunity of my career,” said Brent Woodhouse (E08).
Designer Candice McDougald, added, “I’m now a well-rounded
shipbuilder who stepped outside of her comfort zone to help build good
ships. I learned a ton along the way.”
Cohort 2, front row (L to R): Chenise Waites, Kailey Willard, Candice McDougald, Wayne Potter E&D
Rotation Program manager. Second row (L to R): Kyle Dodson, Tony Woodrum, Matthew Kirkham,
Brent Woodhouse, Gary Anderson and Joshua Bradsher. Not pictured: Joe Best, Jamal Gibson,
Renna Harvey and Robert Santana.
The E&D Rotation Program was originally started for engineers and
designers, however, the program now has a few opportunities for other
salaried E&D individual contributors. Salaried employees interested in the
program should visit the E&D Rotation Program webpage. Approval from
the employee’s leadership team is required for application. For specific
questions about the program, contact E&D Rotation Program Manager
Wayne Potter at 688-1274.

A-School and E&D Host
Professional Development
Program Breakfast for Apprentices
On Sept. 18, the Professional Development
Program (PDP) apprentices gathered for
breakfast and to talk with Apprentice Facility
and engineering leadership about their
experience in combining Apprentice education
with the pursuit of an engineering degree. The
event was hosted by The Apprentice School and
Newport News Shipbuilding’s Engineering and
Design Division.
The program allows apprentices to gain
on-the-job engineering experience in the
manufacturing, construction, maintenance and
overhaul of some the most complex ships in
the world while earning a bachelor of science
in electrical or mechanical engineering. The
program currently hosts 40 students, with the
first three graduating in spring 2016.
“This rotation gives the apprentice experience
working with a variety of people, also allows
the apprentice to work with a variety of current
shipyard leaders who do their work well, and
to learn from their example,” Chief Engineer
Apprentices attend a breakfast to talk with Apprentice Facility
and E&D leadership about the Professional Development
Program Sept. 18. Photo by Ricky Thompson
Charles Southall said, “Everyone here has a
responsibility in this program. Whether that
be the management team helping guide these
students and focus on building our future
leaders or whether it’s the students themselves
who have to work hard and apply themselves
100 percent to this program.”
The goal of PDP is to strengthen the bridge
between NNS’ industrial and technical
leadership. The seminars will continue to
occur quarterly to allow the students and
management team to remain connected.

NNS Converts to Natural Gas
REMINDER: Pedestrian and Vehicle Safety
CONTINUED FROM PG 1
Newport News Shipbuilding has received several complaints of employees darting into traffic when
crossing Huntington Ave. and Washington Ave. as well as cars speeding up when employees are
crossing the street. NNS would like to remind all employees to be cautious when walking to the
gates or to other forms of transportation and to be vigilant and mindful of your surroundings. All
employees are reminded of the following:
... is a win for everybody,” he said.
Will Koeck, the project’s construction
engineer, said one challenge was to safely
remove and install large boilers in a plant
that had to continue operating during the
conversion. “We met the challenge with
careful coordination and planning, and we
had the first new boiler in place making
steam in December 2014,” he said.

• Cross the street only at designated
crosswalks.
• Do not dart out into traffic.
• Stop before crossing the street; look left
and right and left again then cross when
clear.
• Make eye contact with the driver before
you cross in front of a vehicle.
• It is safest to walk on the sidewalk.
• Continue to look for traffic at all times.
• Be careful at the intersections, where
drivers might have a tendency to not yield
the right-of-way.
• Look across all lanes of traffic before
crossing and visually clear each lane before
proceeding. Even if one motorist stops, do
not assume drivers in other lanes can see
you and will stop.
• Don’t wear headphones or talk on a cell
phone while crossing.

its sister ships don’t have- sponsorship by
Michelle Obama.” He said her “strength and
inspiring spirit,” will be instilled into the

of this truly is a testament to the talent
and skill of the folks who built this boat –
the folks from General Dynamics Electric

and to all of the welders, the machinists, the
