Dahlgren Celebrates Diversity Page 2

Naval Support Activity South Potomac celebrated the Navy’s 239th birthday and the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Leyte Gulf on Oct. 10 at the Fredericksburg Hospitality House. Festivities began with a presentation of the colors by the Aegis Training and Readiness Center Honor Guard, welcoming remarks by Capt. Mary Feinberg, NSASP commanding officer, and a bell ceremony by ATRC. “Good evening and welcome to the 2014 Naval Support Activity South Potomac Navy Ball,” said Feinberg.

“Tonight we are gathered to celebrate the 239th birthday of the world’s finest Navy, and I’m happy to have all of you here this evening. Welcome to my fellow commanding officers and to all our Sailors and military members that have chosen to take the time to celebrate such a special occasion.”

Feinberg thanked all who contributed to the celebration and especially, the Navy Ball Committee. “I’d like to take a minute to thank this year’s planning committee, led by Cmdr. Pete Corrao of the Joint Warfare Analysis Center,” she said. “He and his team have

I truly appreciate all that have made this evening’s festivities possible. I know that looks can be deceiving - this event wouldn’t be what it is without the hard work and dedication of the planning team, and on behalf of all of us here, thank

you.”

Corrao, who served as the ball’s master of ceremonies, explained the significance of the Prisoner of War/Missing in Action table. The small table, its cloth, vase, rose, red ribbon, and everything else associated with it had a symbolic meaning for keeping POW/MIA com-

rades in our hearts and minds.

The POW/MIA presentation was followed by an invocation

by Lt. Cmdr. Randy Gibson, NSASP chaplain.

With wine already available, dinner was served to NSASP service members, family members, dates and friends before a series of ceremonial toasts

were rendered, starting with one to the commander in chief (president of the United States) and culminating with a toast to the U.S. Navy and its spouses.

Included in the celebration of the Navy birthday was a historical presentation of the Battle of Leyte Gulf (Oct. 23-26, 1944).

The theme of the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Leyte Gulf was “Adversary to Allies.”

The keynote speaker for the Navy Ball was Rear Adm. T.J. White, U.S. Navy Deputy Director, Tailored Access Operations, NSA. White has served on the staff of the chief of the naval operations (OPNAV) as the JMIP and TIARA (now MIP) program resources director, as the Deputy Director of Intelligence and Chief of Staff, Joint Functional Component Command - Network Warfare 9JFCC-NW), and as the Director, Commander’s Action Group at United States Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM).

He thanked everyone for attending and encouraged all to enjoy the rest of the evening’s events, which included the parading of the cake with the oldest and youngest tenured Navy service member participating in a ceremonial and traditional cake-cutting ceremony. The rest of the night’s extravaganza included dancing and music from the D.C. Transit Band.

Dahlgren finds home for barrels in Delaware

By Zack Shelby NSASP Public Affairs About four years ago the state of Delaware became aware that eight, 16inch Mark 7 barrels were available and going to be disposed of, according to Robin Staton, program analyst with the Dahlgren History Project. The barrels drew interest from Cape Henlopen State Park in Lewes, Del. “They were available at the Portsmouth Shipyard at St. Julian’s Creek,” Staton said. “The Navy was going to scrap them.” Further research conducted

by Jim Poyner, a naval history enthusiast and Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division G Department employee,

The 16-inch, Mark 7 barrel after being loaded by crane onto a special trailer at Naval Support Facility Dahlgren on Oct. 2. The will find a home at Cape Henlopen State Park in Lewes, Del. showed those soon-to-be scraps were part of the original barrels on the Io-

wa-class battleships.

“Three of the barrels were from the [USS] Mis-

souri, one was from the [USS] Iowa, and the remainder were from the

[USS] New Jersey,” Staton said. “We had made several people that we knew were involved in historical preservation aware of the existence of the barrels and Delaware wound up getting one of the barrels that had been on the [USS] Missouri during World War II for Cape Henlopen State Park.”

The gun will be moved to the Fort Miles site on the park grounds, which had been a major coastal defense battery in World War II, according to Staton.

“The state of Delaware had collected a number of guns from here [Dahlgren] that are currently on

Dahlgren celebrates diversity Naval Support Facility Dahlgren celebrated Diversity Day 2014 at the Parade Field on Oct. 9. The event included more than a dozen displays, the announcing of media arts contest winners, music, dancing, readings, and, of course, food. The Hispanic Association provided barbecue chicken skewers that were popular enough that hungry patrons waited 5-10 minutes at times while fresh batches were prepared. The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division Safety and Environmental Office was one of many organizations with displays during Diversity Day. Susan Scheible, NSWCDD Safety and Environmental Office, said members of the office wrote a little about themselves and what they do at work, as well as how they support the organization at home. “We have a lot of people out here,” she said. “It’s wonderful.” Members of the Semilla Cultural Dance and Parrandon Express wowed the crowd with singing and dancing during one of several performances.

V-22 Osprey arrives for Weaponization Trade Studies

U.S. Navy photo by Zack Shelby

The second of four public meetings for the Naval Support Activity Dahlgren Joint Land Use Study was held Oct. 9 at the University of Mary Washington Dahlgren Campus. After a presentation and question-and-answer session, local community members were offered an opportunity to address concerns by placing a blue dot for each issue and assign it one of five levels of priority high, medium, low, ongoing or awareness.

NSF Dahlgren Joint Land Use Study holds public meeting

By Zack Shelby NSASP Public Affairs

The second of four public meetings on the Joint Land Use Study for Naval Support Facility Dahlgren was held at the University of Mary Washington Dahlgren Campus Oct. 9.

The JLUS is a cooperative land use planning effort conducted as a joint venture between an active military installation, surrounding jurisdictions, state and federal agencies, and other affected stakeholders. JLUS goals include protecting the health and safety of surrounding residents and workers, preserving long-term land use compatibility between NSF Dahlgren and the surrounding communities, promoting comprehensive community planning that addresses compatibility factors and issues, encouraging a cooperative spirit between the military installation and community officials, and coordinating and integrating the local jurisdiction growth policy plans with the installation’s plans.

Funded by the Department of Defense Office of Economic Adjustment and contributions by King George County as the local project sponsor and project manager, the five communities partnering with NSF Dahlgren to develop the JLUS include King George County, Va., Town of Colonial Beach, Va., Westmoreland County, Va., Charles County, Md., and St. Mary’s County, Md. Much like the first public forum in March, the second meeting presented an overview of the study and surveyed citizens’ concerns on topics related to NSF Dahlgren and surrounding areas. The JLUS covered a set of 24 potential compatibility factors. Citizens were given a presentation and question-and-answer session by Mike Hrapla, vice president of the Matrix Design Group consulting team and project manager for the NSF Dahlgren JLUS. In addition, those in attendance were able to participate in an exercise where they could grade the level of concern for issues by marking it with a blue dot on posters hanging on the walls for each issue and assigning it to one of five levels of priority - high, medium, low, ongoing or awareness.

“This is your opportunity to give your opinion on the charts that you see around the building,” Hrapla said. “We’ll eventually have a public review and comment period once a draft document is created. We’ll have public meetings during that period to answer questions for the public and help guide the public. It’s one thing to say something’s bad, but it’s another thing to say where it is, what it is, and so we can focus in on trying to resolve it.”

The 24 compatibility factors were broken down into manmade factors such as land use, noise, anti-terrorism, and local housing availability; natural resource factors such as water quality/quantity, sensitive biological resources and marine environments; and competition for scarce resources such as land/air/sea spaces, frequency spectrum capacity and roadway capacity.

“The primary focus is not from the military mission,” Hrapla said. “The focus is to deal with communities and their concerns. The key here is to balance the Navy mission as well as the community and their economic development. We’re looking for that middle ground.”

Hrapla said the Matrix Design Group consulting team anticipates completing the study by the end of January 2015. For more information visit www.dahlgrenjlus.com.

A V-22 Osprey aircraft is hoisted off a U.S. Army barge and placed in the Naval Support Facility (NSF) Dahlgren yard craft area parking lot Oct. 10. The aircraft was towed to a Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division facility where weaponization trade studies, sponsored by the Naval Air Systems Command V-22 Joint Program Office (PMA-275), will be conducted. PMA-275 brings cutting edge tiltrotor technology to today’s Marines and special operations forces. The V-22 Joint Program Office is a team effort, employing talented Sailors, Marines, Airmen, civil servants and contractor employees.

The V-22 supports Marine Corps, Navy, and Special Operations Command combat missions.

display there, including a 12-inch gun that had been on the [USS Wyoming] battleship around the turn of the century,” Staton said. They also have a number of three-inch, 50-caliber guns and an eight-inch railway gun from Dahlgren, but the big armament at the fort had been the 16-inch mark-two Navy guns that had all been transferred to the Army for coastal defense sites prior to and during World War II. “The state [of Delaware], for a long time had wanted to get a 16inch gun to display at the fort,” Staton said. “We put them in contact with the [Naval Sea Systems Command] people that were in charge of disposing of all of the battleships’ spares. As a result, over a process of 18 months to two years, they wound up getting one of the gun barrels that had been on the [USS] Missouri.”

In addition to wanting a gun barrel, the state of Delaware decided they wanted to put together a whole gun, which would be essentially identical to the one on the Dahlgren Parade Field, according to Staton. The barrel is from the USS New Jersey, which was part of their armament that served during World War II. “They contacted us,” Staton said. He added that they’ve gotten all their guns from Dahlgren going back to the mid-1990s.

“They are already there and on display,” Staton said. “We determined that there were probably enough spare parts here (in various places at Dahlgren) to assemble one more gun. For the past 18 months,

Delaware had been working to get funding to move the parts from Dahlgren to Henlopen. Staton said they will probably now be working on funding to assemble a gun.

Delaware submitted a request to the Navy, which was approved to collect the gun parts from Dahlgren. That process began Sept. 2 when a crane company came on base to collect the parts to assemble the gun.

“Essentially, the major part of the effort last week was to get all the parts out of the range because they were all stored in at least three different controlled areas of the range,” Staton said. Some of the parts were about 100,000 pounds, according to Staton.

“It took a big crane to pick up the parts,” he said. Right now the parts are at two different locations on base outside of the range.

“We are also giving them a section of that piece of 18-inch armor plate which was holed by a 16-inch gun here - very similar to the piece of armor plate that’s out at the front gate,” Staton said. He said there’s a piece out there that has a hole through it and also has a 14inch projectile that had penetrated the armor, but the projectile is still stuck in the armor plate.

“They wanted to have a comparable display and there was a piece of armor here on the main range that had the hole in it from World War II and we gave them a section of that plate to put on display,” Staton said.

“It’s a pretty graphic illustration of the power of those guns.” The other piece that’s going to Delaware is the slide assembly, which is across the from the sea plane hangar.

“That’s a 105,000-pound piece of hardware,” Staton said. As it pertains to moving massive parts going forward, Delaware and the cranes will provide the heavy lifting, but Dahlgren will continue to help.

“We will continue to provide technical information,” Staton said. He also added that Poynor will probably have to provide Delaware with advice on how to assemble the gun. “Their next step will be to raise money. It will be an expensive operation to put the gun together.

It will involve cranes, people and very heavy lifting. It’s a fairly complicated operation, but there net result will be a gun that looks very much like the gun on the parade field here.

Staton said the Dahlgren History Project gets satisfaction out the operation. “Our role here is to try to help preserve and protect as many of the Navy-related artifacts as possible - to answer research questions which could range all across the board,” he said. “We received a request recently from the U.S. Army wanting to know the details of an airplane crash that was here in 1983. We answer a lot of inquiries both from people inside the gate as well as outside. We’re trying to preserve significant pieces of Navy history that exist on base. In cases where there is strong interest from another organization that has the capability to publicly display and preserve unique Navy artifacts, we are certainly willing to help them.”
