Zumwalt (DDG 1000)Readies for the Water

all for the wonderful experiences over the last 29+ years.I have greatly enjoyed my time at BIW and in the Bath commu-nity. I'm proud of what we've done, the way the shipyard hasevolved, and the ships that fly the BIW flag. The experience ofworking alongside those who have similar pride and passionfor what they do has been very fulfilling—I will miss you.I wish you all the best of luck and continued success.

To all . . . Fair winds and following seas.

TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

From the HelmJeff Geiger, President, Bath Iron Works

By now, all of us at BIW should be well aware of the factthat many national and global developments have driv-

en us into a new and very challenging business environ-ment. We’ve discussed it. We’ve seen evidence in the form oflower ship acquisition rates and tighter defense budgets.We’ve worked hard to seize opportunities that make ourships more affordable for our US Navy customer.

While things around us have been in a high state of flux,we have done a good job, remaining disciplined and relent-lessly focused on the work we have in front of us. While thegovernment shutdown that caused the Navy to postponethe Christening of Zumwalt (DDG 1000) has delayed ouropportunity to celebrate the success of our lead ship engi-neering, design, and production efforts thus far, we will soonsee a new Navy warship tied up to our pier for the first timein over a year. That by itself will be a very visible testamentto what this shipyard can achieve when we put our minds toa task. But our work is far from being done.

We must continue to find new and better ways to be nim-ble, adapting to these rapidly changing times and leveragingthe power of teamwork to ensure our future success. Safetyand performance are things we can control; they are thingswe must control. Today’s challenge is to be champions ofsafety and champions of performance—in doing so we willbecome champions of opportunity. Resolve every day tomake your safety and that of those around you your number1 priority. Then hit the decks running, leverage each other’sindividual strengths and demonstrate that nobody out per-forms BIW.

This will be my last letter at BIW as I “Turn over the Helm”to Mike Mulligan and Fred Harris and head south to GDElectric Boat. I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you

The Ethics CornerIf an employee posts a swimsuit calendarin his work area, is it sexual harassment?

Yes, under the Equal EmploymentOpportunity Commission (EEOC) defini-tion, posting a swimsuit calendar is con-sidered a "visual display of explicit orsuggestive materials." If an employee isoffended by the posting, the employeeshould report the matter to Ethics orthrough the helpline.

What if a female employee posts a malepinup in her work area, is this sexualharassment?

Yes, for the same reason as the previousexample. It doesn’t matter if the visualdisplay is of a man or a woman.

BIW will promptly remove any postingthat is inappropriate for the workspace,and discipline could result. Please keeppersonal postings at home.

Key Points to Remember• Sexual harassment is prohibited by

law, BIW and GD policy• It involves more than physical con-

duct; it can also be verbal or visualconduct

• Harassment can occur anywhere andat any time

• Harassment can occur regardless ofthe sexual orientation or gender ofthe involved employees

• Sexual harassment harms us all • You have a responsibility to help

prevent it

The McMann Field in Bath, partof the McMann Field complex

on Congress Avenue, recentlycompleted installation of a newartificial turf field. The forcebehind the new field was “Fields ofour Future,” a group of parentsand local citizens who, over thecourse of six and a half years,raised $570K to cover the full costof the new turf. Support camefrom businesses, organizationsand hundreds of individuals,including many BIW employees, inBath and the surrounding commu-nities.

Several BIW employees playedkey leadership roles, includingBrad Walfield (D24) who led theFields for Our Future effort duringits first few years and Lu Lozano(D10) who co-led the group to itssuccessful conclusion. In addition, GregHarrison (D24) and Pat Thomas (D01)provided guidance and support andformer BIW president, Bill Haggett,played a key role in its success.

The community-wide fundraisingeffort was one of the largest everundertaken in Bath. Deteriorating con-ditions of the old McMann Field result-ed in the cancellation of many sportingevents due to weather-related safetyconditions, and many home gameswere routinely scheduled at out-of-town locations because the field couldnot support the demand for the quanti-ty and variety of play requested by Bathschools.

Following the lead of schools inother northern locations, Fields for OurFuture pursued a synthetic turf field togain significantly higher useage andextend the outdoor playing season.McMann Field will also be available forcommunity-hosted events, some ofwhich will return revenue to the city.

The Bath City Council issued aproclamation recognizing Fields for OurFuture for “raising the bar for youthsports in our community, making thecity of Bath a destination by creatingevents that will attract hundreds ofspectators, athletes and their families,

Bath’s Field of Dreams

which will benefit not only the youngpeople of Bath but the entirecommunity.”

At Bath’s annual Autumnfest andCitizen Involvement Day on October 12,the Fields for our Future received theCommunity Project award which wasaccepted by Lu and his community co-lead, Kay Beveridge. It read: “The groupraised more than $600,000 for the turffield and continues to pursue revenuestreams for improvements at other ofBath’s recreational facilities.”

Their efforts were also lauded at MainStreet Bath’s Annual Dinner on October21 with a Spirit of Bath Award from theMain Street Bath Economic RestructuringCommittee.

The opening of the new field wascelebrated during a Friday night footballgame in mid-September on a day andweek which had already seen a greatdeal of rain. It began to rain again asplay began. Fans watched underumbrellas through half-time and theribbon cutting ceremony, and then thegame resumed where previously itwould have been called for weather.Thanks to the efforts of the entirecommunity, McMann Field is gaining anew reputation.

Lu Lozano, left, andBrad Walfield with theBath City Councilproclamation whichwas read at theMcMann Field ribboncutting ceremony inSeptember. Brad was chairman of Fields for Our Future from2007 to 2010 and Lu was co-chair from 2010 forward. A ren-dering of the new field is shown right.

DDG 1000 Readies for the WaterBy the time this article is published,

DDG 1000 will be secured at Pier 4 onthe east side of the Land Level TransferFacility. Having the ship in the watermarks a significant milestone andachievement in the construction of thishighly sophisticated and capabledestroyer.

Bob Hayward (D10), VP ShipCompletion and Test, indicated,“Reachingthe point of translating the ship into thedrydock and subsequent float-off is theresult of great teamwork and commit-ment on the part of the entire BIW, Navyand industry team. Together, we are allhighly focused to make this a safe andsuccessful event. I am very proud of howthe team worked together to achieve thechallenging milestones. Our mechanicsand leadership team have done a greatjob mastering the highly complex andintegrated systems.”

Bob continued,“Once waterborne, thenature of the construction work will shiftfrom building and integrating the shipstructure and major systems to complet-ing compartments and systems. The paceof testing and activity on the ship will alsoincrease as we bring the ship to life.”

While the Navy, the Zumwalt family, ourcongressional delegation, invited guestsand members of the general public whoplanned to attend the mid-Octoberchristening ceremony were certainlydisappointed when the event was post-poned to spring, it does not impact thework that continues or the schedule todeliver the ship for operational capabilityin 2016.

Neither does it lessen the enthusiasmof the Zumwalt family and the affectionthey have for the men and woman whoare building the ship. When the familylearned of the christening postponement,

From the Fleet

On September 20, 2013, the US Navyheld a ship naming ceremony at

Naval Base San Diego, declaring thename of USS Rafael Peralta (DDG 115)which is being built at BIW. Also namedwere DDG 113 and 114, under construc-tion at HII. The Navy first officiallyannounced the name of DDG 115 inFebruary 2012.

Lt. Gen. John A. Toolan, Jr., MarineExpeditionary Force commanding gen-eral, said that the three men for whichthe ships are named “were like anchorswithin their units and set a high stan-dard for heroism within the services.”

Sgt. Rafael Peralta posthumouslyreceived the Navy Cross after taking crit-ical gunshot wounds and later grabbinga live grenade and covering it with hisbody to save his fellow Marines during afirefight in Fallujah, Iraq in November2004.

In September, BIW received high marksand no significant findings following a

third party ISO 9001 Surveillance Audit.Ben Burden (D06), Quality

Engineering Supervisor, explained:“BIW’s entire Quality ManagementSystem undergoes a full review everythree years for recertification. Withineach three year period, a surveillanceaudit of selected areas is required at sixmonth intervals to ensure that the sys-tem is operating as expected. Of note,BIW’s performance and adherence toISO 9001 requirements has held steadyin recent years.”

ISO 9001 essentially mandates quali-ty requirements across our entire ship-building process, including design, engi-neering, planning, procurement andmanufacturing. A recertification audit,like the one recently completed, reviewsselected areas of the ISO standard toensure that we are compliant and fol-lowing our quality process. If findingsare identified, they can be corrected andfurther monitored so that no long termquality problem is able to fester.

Steady ISO 9001 Compliance

The recent audit report noted thatBIW’s White Board meetings, and ourmetrics in general, are some of the mostthorough of the 300+ companies stud-ied by the third party auditor. A surveil-lance audit may also contain observa-tions of a minor nature which allows usto make corrections which further sup-port our adherence to ISO 9001.

Mark Colby (D06), Director of QualityAssurance, said,“Excellent scorecardresults on a surveillance audit indicatesthat we are building ships in accordancewith our Quality Management Systemwhich assures our customer, the USNavy, that we take quality very seriously.”

In Remembrance September 2013

On September 17, 2013, the NationalShipbuilding Research Program

(NSRP) Surface Preparation & Coatings(SPC) panel convened at the Holiday Innin Bath, Maine attended by over 50 pro-fessionals from around the country,including shipyard subject memberexperts, Navy personnel and representa-tives from surface preparation, paintand supply companies. Per PeteLockwood (D10), Manufacturing TradeForeman for Paint and Sandblasting andBIW host and coordinator of the event,“The panel spent an exciting three dayshere in the City of Ships.”

NSRP is a collaboration of eleven USshipyards focused on common issueswith the goal of reducing the cost ofacquiring, operating and maintainingNavy ships through four major initia-tives: ship design and material technolo-gies, ship production technologies, busi-ness process and information technolo-gies, and infrastructure and support.There are currently eleven panels oper-ating within these areas; SPC falls undership production. BIW has a long historyof leadership and involvement withNSRP activities.

NSRP Panel in TownThe SPC Panel mission statement,

dubbed Specs to Decks, reads:• Research, evaluate, develop, and

sustain current and emergingtechnologies that will reduce cost andmaintain or enhance quality.

• Engage the suppliers, applicators, andspecifiers of preservation systems.

• Facilitate panel meetings to encouragebroad participation.

While NSRP project work is ongoingin various locations, periodic meetingsare an opportunity to review all projectsand consider new project proposals.Prior to an evening dinner, participantstook a Maine Maritime Museum trolleytour of BIW where those familiar withDDG 1000 as well as those new to theshipyard had an up close look at thisamazing ship. The Panel’s steeringcommittee got an even better viewduring a walking tour of the shipyard ontheir last day of meetings.

New officers elected for a two yearterm include Pete Lockwood who willserve as its next vice chairman.

During recent labornegotiations, both the company and members of theIGA bargaining team shared the objective to switchfrom the two uniform alternative then in place to oneuniform. IGA officers and members took the lead toresearch and evaluate alternatives which were pre-sented to Security management. The Management/Union Security Team discussed preferences anddecided in favor of the shirt/pant combination shownhere. In addition, the alternative of short sleeve orpolo shirts offers more flexibility during a Mainesummer.

Dave Libby (D46), Chief of Security, said,“Feedback has been positive—most find them verycomfortable, our officers are easily identifiable andthey have the satisfaction of having been part of thedecision making process.”
