NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR THE NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION

Department of Energy awards NDW energy program

By Shawn Miller NDW Public Affairs The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and Federal Interagency Energy Policy Committee have selected the Naval District Washington (NDW) and Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Washington energy program for a 2014 Federal Energy and Water Management Award.

The award, set to be presented at a ceremony in Washington, D.C., Dec. 9, recognizes the region’s 2013-2014 energy initiatives and accomplishments to include energy intensity and water intensity reduction across each of the six installations within NDW through the program’s focus on five energy pillars: energy culture, information, efficiency, renewable energy/alternative fuels, and energy security.

“We are extremely pleased and honored to be recognized by the Department of Energy for our energy accomplishments,” said NAVFAC Commanding Officer Rear Adm. Kate Gregory when the DOE awards were announced earlier this year. “Energy conservation is a high priority at all of our bas-

es, and these programs reflect our ongoing commitment in meeting the Secretary of the Navy’s energy goals.”

The NDW energy policy released last year calls for energy to be a top priority for all hands at all times, and the program has continued its efforts into 2014, launching new projects and bolstering leadership roles.

Recent initiatives include the D.C. Capital Solar Challenge focused on renewable energy across NDW; the NAVFAC Washington retro-commissioning and continuous commissioning programs; the Transportation Alternative Fuels Program and the Shore Operations Center (ShOC) Pilot Study at the Washington Navy Yard, which serves as a centralized hub using SmartGrid technology and advanced energy meters to monitor power usage on an individual building level across the installation.

Using a SmartGrid system and other advanced equipment are only part of the overall solution,however, said NDW Energy Director Lt. Cmdr. Keith Benson.

“Technology is a piece to energy management, but without the leadership en-

The National Museum of the United States Navy is set to host “Haunted Gallery” in the Cold War Gallery (Building 70) aboard Washington Navy Yard, Oct. 25, with a tour for children 12 and under from 4-7 p.m. and a scarier option for adults and children ages 13 and up from 7:30-10 p.m. Free tickets will be available at Building 76 starting at 3:45 p.m.

Ghosts and the creepy creatures of late October nights are set to make their return to the Washington Navy Yard as the National Museum of the United States Navy prepares to host their first “Haunted Gallery,” Oct. 25.

“In previous years, we have collaborated with the Sailors on Display Ship Barry to bring the public Ghost Ship Barry,” said Laura Hockensmith, the museum’s director of education and public programs. “Due to renovations on the pier this year, the ship is not able to host a haunted house. Since it is always a huge success, the staff of the museum decided to bring the experience to the museum.”

The museum will host the relocated night of frights within the nearby Cold War Gallery located in Building 70 from 4-10 p.m., with different options depending on visitors’ age group.

INSIDE

“Families with children 12 and under will be able to participate in craft activities and a less scary version of the Haunted Gallery from 4-7 p.m.,” Hockensmith said. After that, the fear factor will be turned up for adults and groups with children ages 13 and up, she added, noting that families with younger children will be allowed through for the later showings, but it is not recommended.

Those interested in attending the Haunted Gallery will need a timed pass for entry, which will be available for free at the museum’s main display center in Building 76 beginning at 3:45 p.m., Oct. 25. The last entry to the early tour will be at 6:45 p.m., and the last entry for the late show will be at 9:45 p.m. Visitors can access the Navy Yard at the 6th and M Streets SE gate, and parking will be available in the white spaces adjacent to the museum.

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, 16-inch 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, showed those soon-tobe scraps were part of the original barrels on the Iowa-class battleships.

“Three of the barrels were from the [USS] Missouri, 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 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 eightinch railway gun from Dahlgren, but the big armament at the fort had been the 16inch 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 16-inch 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,

The 16-inch, Mark 7 barrel after being is loaded onto a special trailer at Naval Support Facility Dahlgren, Oct. 2. The barrel will find a home at Cape Henlopen State Park in Lewes, Del. 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

“Just trying to stay positive and not get too depressed, which is easy this time of the year, and always looking out for the sunshine. Whenever the sun’s shining out here during the winter, that’s the perfect time to enjoy yourself even when it’s cold.”

Building Energy Monitors (BEMs) as well as Installation Energy Managers (IEMs) have been assigned to such leadership roles at each of the regional installations to help promote a positive energy culture and contribute to the overall NDW energy mission. Benson and other energy officials convene every two weeks for energy management boards, where they review efforts and identify new areas to explore.

NDW recently expanded options for alternative and renewable fuel use by installing electric vehicle charging stations for personal use at Navy Exchanges in the area, and last month announced a $27.9-million Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC) at Naval Air Station (NAS) Patuxent River to install upgraded lighting, ground source heat pump installation, water conservation measures, thermostats and controls replacement, and building envelope upgrades.

Benson said several more ESPCs and Utility Energy Services Contracts (UESCs) are already in the works for 2015 and later that will have a significant impact on reducing energy and water intensity even further.

Other projects include replacing lighting fixtures with more efficient LED lights at various locations, as well as exploring options to possibly install solar photovoltaic panels at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling and NAS Patuxent River.

Earning the DOE award for the comprehensive program is a positive way to recognize the efforts of everyone involved across all installations and at all levels of the NDW energy program, Benson added.

“We have a robust, comprehensive energy program that is starting to really work on all cylinders right now with key people and key focus areas,” he said.”We’re starting to see big differences being made. It’s an exciting time to be working in energy.”

Energy Action Month Top 10 Tips

“Fuel Efficiency” 1. Drive smoothly. Slowing down gradually, rather than jamming on the brakes, then accelerating slowly can save you as much as two miles per gallon. Plus it reduces wear on your brakes.

2. When driving on the highway, use your cruise control to maintain a steady speed.

3. Remove unnecessary heavy items from your car. Every 100 pounds extra costs you about half a mile per gallon.

4. Keep the tires of your car or truck properly inflated. For every pound per square inch (psi) below the proper level there is an average increase of 0.4 percent in fuel consumption; being low by as little as four pounds of pressure can reduce your mileage by 10 percent.

5. Ride a bike or walk to work, to the local neighborhood store, or to a nearby friend’s home. Total vehicle emissions are reduced to zero.

6. Don’t start your car until you’re ready to move; idling engines waste gas. If you are idling for more than one minute turn the engine off.

7. Fixing a car that is noticeably out of tune can improve its gas mileage by an average of four percent.

8. Fixing a serious maintenance problem, such as a faulty oxygen sensor, can improve your mileage by as much as 40 percent.

9. You can improve your gas mileage by one to two percent by using the manufacturer’s recommended grade of motor oil. Using 10W-30 motor oil in an engine designed to use 5W-30 can lower your gas mileage by one to two percent.

10. Observe the speed limit—each five miles per hour you drive over 60 mph can reduce your fuel economy by 10 percent.

For both adults and children, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is reminding everyone to practice safety while enjoying this year’s Halloween festivities.

The CDC recommends that trick-or-treaters wear well-fitting costumes that do not obstruct vision or movement, and to fasten reflective material to costumes and bags to help drivers see them when walking in populated areas.

For adults enjoying Halloween parties, Naval Support Activity Washington and Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling Safety Installation Program Director George Revoir encouraged Sailors and civilian personnel to responsibly control behavior and to have

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 14-inch 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

options for getting home safely and avoiding driving while intoxicated. Revoir’s office is distributing “Sober Ride” cards personnel can place in purses or wallets with contact information for cab rides home.

Revoir also encouraged personnel to take advantage of the Washington Regional Alcohol Program’s SoberRide program, which is offering free taxi rides up to $30 fare from 10 p.m., Oct. 31 to 4 a.m., Nov. 1. The SoberRide program is available by calling 1-800200-TAXI, and serves the District of Columbia, Montgomery and Prince George’s counties in Maryland, as well as Arlington, Fairfax and eastern Loudoun and Prince William counties in Virginia.

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.”
