Power of integration tested at 2017 USS Dahlgren Naval Technology Exercise

By John Joyce NSWC Dahlgren Division Corporate Communications DAHLGREN, VA.

The power of a Navy strike group’s interoperability with unmanned vehicles, surface and air assets, guns, missiles, and combat systems was proven at the 2017 USS Dahlgren demonstration, Sept. 13-14.

Hundreds of visitors — including 40 distinguished visitors from military, government, and academia — observed this power at the Annual Navy Technology Exercise (ANTX) as the USS Dahlgren’s capabilities were demonstrated.

The cybernetic ship simulated the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) strike group, hitting targets virtually and with live ďŹ re via Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) 30-millimeter guns and Aegis MK 46 gun system 5-inch guns on the Potomac River Test Range.

ANTX featured virtual and hardware representations of combat systems on the Eisenhower strike group that comprised USS Gridley (DDG 101), USS Fort Worth (LCS 3), USS Milwaukee (LCS 5), USS Freedom (LCS 1), and USS Mason (DDG 87) during live ďŹ re destruction of surface threats. Throughout the event, an MH60R helicopter, an MQ8B MQ-8 Fire Scout unmanned autonomous helicopter, a Scan Eagle unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and a USV identiďŹ ed and tracked threats over-thehorizon. At one point, an autonomous unmanned surface vessel (USV) — equipped with an inert front-end portion of a Longbow HellďŹ re missile — staged simulated Longbow HellďŹ re salvos.

The air assets — upgraded with enhanced radar technologies — and the USV provided real-time targeting throughout the exercise. Track and engagement information was shared across the strike group proving an ability to conduct experimentation in a high-ďŹ delity, distributed architecture. “We are showcasing all of the good work that we and the NR&DE (Naval Research and Development Establishment) have done, and the seriousness

of our role to close the gap for the warďŹ ghter,â€? Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) Technical Director John Fiore told the visitors before the exercise commenced. “Our partnership with industry, academia, and our brothers and sisters in the NR&DE is critical because the only thing we’re here to do is to take care of the Sailors and Marines who are out there and have to be effective and want to come home to their families safe.â€?

To keep warďŹ ghters safer, the U.S. Navy plans to integrate remote sensors that feed target location data to ship combat systems. This will enable Sailors to immediately engage fast attack craft and fast inshore attack craft as well as other threats with existing gun and missile systems and emerging electric weapon systems. Currently, the integration of unmanned systems into the Fleet has been limited by a lack of direct communications with shipboard combat systems. “Our sole purpose here is to identify where the warďŹ ghter gaps are and understand how we close those gaps,â€? Fiore emphasized to all regarding the event, hosted by NSWCDD in collaboration with Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division and NSWC Panama City Division.

The visitors, including NSWCDD employees, saw Dahlgren’s ANTX address these integration challenges via a layered defense demonstration focused on distributed lethality in the littorals and rapid prototyping of new Fleet capabilities. What’s more, they witnessed emerging and innovative technologies align with future naval capabilities and had the chance to share new technologies, exchange ideas, and collaborate with the surface naval technology community. “The ANTX demonstrations have been a valuable way for Marines to see targeted capabilities the Naval Warfare Centers are working on, opening the door to further discussions of future capabilities and the art-of-the-possible,� Meggan Schoenberg said, Combat

to the Marine Corps Forces Command.

In effect, the USS Dahlgren exercise gave Schoenberg and many others an opportunity to evaluate the art-of-the-possible at the research and development level in a low-risk environment before these technological innovations become militarized and integrated at the operational level.

ANTX partnered with NR&DE, universities, and industry to demonstrate emerging capabilities and innovations in surface warfare.

More than 60 emerging and innovative technologies were highlighted that provide an advantage to distributed forces, including naval surface combatants, to exercise sea control across a wide area extending into the littorals. Some of these relevant technologies include integration and control of unmanned vehicles, advanced sensors and sensor integration, track management, data fusion, and tactical displays. Technologies aligning to future naval capabilities were demonstrated, allowing the surface naval technology community to see new technologies, exchange ideas, and foster collaboration. “The ANTX events provide the Fleet a ďŹ rst-hand opportunity to see what the warfare centers are working on in an efďŹ cient and relevant way,â€?

Washington Navy Yard hosts 4th annual Remembrance Run/Walk

By MC2 Jason Amadi Naval District Washington Public Affairs WASHINGTON

Naval Support Activity Washington (NSAW) partnered with the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) to host the 4th annual Washington Navy Yard (WNY) Remembrance Run/Walk, Sept.

15.

More than 900 service members, DoD civilians and others participated in a 5-kilometer run/1-mile walk on the WNY to remember those who died during the tragic events of Sept. 16, 2013.

“This day means a great deal to the Washington Navy Yard family,â€? Commanding OfďŹ cer of Naval Support Activity Washington Capt. Jeff Draeger said. “It speaks volumes to have so many people continue to come together to both remember and represent how we are moving forward, putting one foot in front of the other.â€?

The annual event affords those who were present at the time of the tragedy and those who have come to work at the Navy Yard since an opportunity to bond in remembering the loss and courage of that

was impressed with many of the 219 NISE (Navy Innovative Science and Engineering) projects and their alignment to naval systems and naval needs. It’s great to see what can be accomplished by leveraging the Warfare Centers’ internal development funding and engineering creativity. On the other end of the spectrum, the live ďŹ re scenarios showed how Dahlgren is pulling all of the pieces together to conduct end-to-end surface engagements jointly with Pax River (Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division). I’m looking forward to future ANTX events across the Navy as they continue to mature and evolve in order to demonstrate even more capability for the warfighter.â€?

The USS Dahlgren ANTX accomplished several ďŹ rsts, including: First demonstration of the newly integrated MQ-8B Fire Scout unmanned autonomous helicopter radar with LCS Combat System and Link 16.

First prototype demonstration of a USV with the Battle Management System and Longbow HellďŹ re missilelauncher.

First USV receipt of Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) cursor on-target data.

First LCS Surface-to-Surface Missile Module simulated engagement from UAS targeting data.

lives were lost.�

Christensen remembers where he was at the time of the 2013 tragedy and said the incident helped inform his decision to join the Navy. “I was just enlisting at the time. I was doing a collegiate program and this incident happened weeks before I had to sign my contract. I knew that if other people were serving and put their lives on the line, that was something I had to do as well,� Christensen said.

Draeger also expressed appreciation for all the partners who helped NAVSEA and NSAW plan and support this year’s remembrance run/walk.

NEWS FROM NAS OCEANA OCEANA HOLDS POW/MIA MEMORIAL

By MC3 Molly DiServio NAS Oceana Public Affairs VIRGINIA BEACH

At dusk on Sept. 19 Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana held their annual Prisoner of War/Missing in Action (POW/MIA) Memorial ceremony at Flame of Hope Park.

Sailors stood alongside local veterans and families to remember and honor our POW/MIA service members who have fallen or have yet to be found.

Commanding officer of Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana Capt.

Richard Meadows began the ceremony by welcoming all the community members in attendance: Virginia Patriot Guard, VFW Post 392 and their auxiliary, American Legion post 113, American Legion post 110, members of the military order of the cooties pup tent 9 and auxiliary, as well as ambassadors for Jesus Christ, the Marine Corps League, VFW Riders of Virginia, the Combat Wounded Coalition and the Association of Naval Aviation (ANA).

Meadows continued to speak of the strength and sacrifices POW/ MIA have given to this country.

“We are here at the Flame of Hope to pause, remember and honor the heroes and patriots who fought for our freedoms, and who have not yet returned home, “Meadows said. “ To each of them we owe an unending debt of gratitude for the sacrifice they made, the pain they endured, and the hardships they suffered to ensure that the flame of freedom will never be extinguished.”

As the sun set behind the flame

of hope and silence fell over the crowd, Naval Musician 2nd Class Matt Kinnaman played taps on his bugle stirring pride and hope in the hearts of people in attendance.

“We draw inspiration from the bonds of camaraderie, compassion, and love that prompted our POWs to care for each other, and sustain each other, through their terrible months and years of hardship,” Meadows said. “Our soldiers, Sailors, airmen and marines overseas, fighting now, and in the past, carry with them an indomitable sense of pride and courage, backed by an American spirit that originates in the heart of every American here at home.”

The Flame of Hope monument was conceived in 1972 as a volunteer project headed by Attack Squadron 43 at Naval Air Station Oceana. The monument was built by volunteers from Construction Battalion 415 and sponsored by the Virginia Beach Jaycees and Oceana wives of the “They’re Not Forgotten” committee. The original intent of the monument was to have a live flame light the way for the return of all POW/MIAs from South East Asia, after which the flame would be extinguished.

When “Operation Homecoming”, the return of 591 American POWs held by North Vietnam following the Paris Peace Accords that ended U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War, ended, the fate of over two thousand military men remained a mystery and the Flame of Hope continued to burn.

The flame was transferred to the NAS Oceana chapel and replaced with a cold bronze “flame” until

MC3 Molly DiServio Commanding Officer of Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana, Capt Richard Meadows, and Executive Officer of NAS Oceana Capt Chad P. Vincelette place a memorial wreath at the Flame of Hope during NAS Oceana’s POW/MIA Ceremony on Sept. 19th. The Flame of Hope monument was conceived in 1972 as a volunteer project headed by Attack Squadron 43 at Naval Air Station Oceana and is a continuous reminder of those who were killed or remain missing in Vietnam must never be forgotten.

March 25, 1994, when the Flame of Hope was reignited. On May 1, 1994, the Flame of Hope was rededicated as a continuous reminder that those who were killed or remain missing in Vietnam must never be forgotten.

“The younger generation needs to understand what the sacrifices that were given and what all these military members have done,” said retired Air Force Logistics Crew Chief and current VFW 3160 post surgeon/hospital chairman Noel “NOGGER” Lumanog. ”You always hear that freedom isn’t free and these individuals gave their lives for freedoms that

they have today. This is a heritage that all military members have and that we all endure this freedom that we have is always taken for granted.”

In attendance was World War II veteran George Norman, retired Naval Electrician’s Mate 2nd Class who placed a memorial wreath at the Flame along with his brother WWII veterans Charles Britt and Felix Maurizio.

“We have to keep American strong and in good faith,” Norman said. “Keep on going, remembering and always taking care of our veterans, they sacrificed so much.”

our force protection at home and overseas.

The five-day exercise presented Sailors with several different scenarios that required quick and effective responses. CPTD was conducted to integrate existing waterside security systems and equipment such as the electronic harbor security system, command and control, Harbor Security boats and Port Security barriers with new technologies and to assess the effectiveness of each technology.

“In our exercises, we strive to create a training environment that mirrors the operational environment,” Clark said. “This exercise and technology demonstration incorporated the sights and sounds of actual waterborne improvised explosive devices and blank ammunition fire as part of the simulated attacks to enable our Sailors to demonstrate and validate pre-planned responses, tactics, techniques and procedures in a high-stress, realistic environment.”

The San Diego-based ship the USS Milius (DDG 69) participated in this year’s exercise. The exercise provided an opportunity to conduct integrated shore/afloat training and to validate their directed in-port security plan and integrated pre-planned responses in order to collectively respond to multiple AT/FP scenarios within Naval Base San Diego’s battle space.

Navy Installations Command is comprised of approximately 53,000 military and civilian personnel worldwide responsible for the operations, maintenance and quality of life programs to sustain the Navy’s fleet, enable the fighter, and support the family.

For the Navy, security and force protection are major factors when keeping Sailors, assets and the installation safe.

As a part of Commander, Navy Installations Command’s (CNIC) mission to deliver effective and efficient readiness from the shore, CNIC partnered with the Physical Security Enterprise & Analysis Group (PSEAG) and Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) to conduct exercise Citadel Protect Technology Demonstration (CPTD), an antiterrorism/force protection (AT/ FP) exercise and technology demonstration, at Naval Base San Diego Sept. 11-15.

The exercise and technology demonstration were part of the U.S. Fleet Forces Command and Navy Warfare Development Command Fleet Experimentation Program. CPTD demonstrated an integrated set of candidate technologies selected to address identified AT/FP capability gaps and assisted in the initial evaluation of these new security technologies and concepts.

“We are committed to training and conducting exercises throughout the year to identify and mitigate or resolve any issues in our current force protection structure,” Exercise Program Director for CNIC Bill Clark said. “This exercise is one of the methods that we use to take a holistic approach to assess AT/FP program readiness and provide realistic training to our Sailors.”

T-45 PILOTS TRAIN ABOARD TRUMAN

By MCSN Thomas Bonaparte Jr. USS Harry S. Truman Public Affairs ATLANTIC OCEAN

Instructors from Training Air Wing (TRAWING) 1 and TRAWING 2 concluded Carrier Qualifications flying Boeing T-45C Goshawks aboard USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75), Sept. 16-17.

This evolution allowed Truman Sailors to practice launching and recovering aircraft while preparing instructors, and instructors under training, to teach the Navy’s newest pilots.

“This is the instructors’ initial carrier qualification in the T-45 as an instructor,” Lt. Cmdr. Ronnie Dale Stahl Jr. said.

Lt. Cmdr. Stahl is a landing signal officer in charge of the overall safety aspect of the initial carrier qualification program for the Navy.

“While the students are in the air, we will fly about 2,000 to 5,000 feet above them,” Stahl said. “This way we can manage their flight pattern from the air and ensure they are taking the proper turns and safety precautions.”

Along with the inherent dangers and difficulties of flight operations, carrier qualifications test Truman’s ability to work together as a team.

“For our actual first integration, it was awesome,” Chief Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Handling) Jason Baty

MCSN Rebekah A. Watkins A T-45C Goshawk training aircraft assigned to Training Air Wing 2 lands on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman.

ing Case 1 conditions. This is their first time recovering on a ship so we don’t want to put them in a dangerous situation. We practice this with the instructors to make sure we are prepared for when the students come aboard.”

Intense training played a key role in the success of this evolution and the safety of all its participants.

“Everyone was on the same page as far as expectations,” Baty said.

“That’s the number one thing we want. We want everyone to be on the same page and we want an open line of communication.”

The requalification process involved approximately 28 instructors from four squadrons; the “Eagles” of Training Squadron 7 and the “Tigers” of Training Squadron 9 from Meridian, Mississippi, and the “Fighting Redhawks” of Training Squadron 21 and the “Golden Eagles” of Training Squadron 22 from Kingsville, Texas. Over two days they combined to complete a total of 112 traps and 56 “touch and goes”.

Truman is currently underway conducting Carrier Qualifications in preparation for future operations.

said. “We went to the ready rooms, discussed safety concerns, had safety briefs, we did flight deck familiarization briefs and it was a great team effort as far as safety.”

Sailors from several departments were involved in the launch and recovery of aircraft. List control, steam for the catapults, navigation and steering of the ship, and radar maintenance and operation came together to conduct successful flight operations.

“While the pilots in training are in the air, we maintain communication to provide the ship’s heading and weather conditions,” Air Traffic Controller 2nd Class Michael Nelis said, Case 1 weather condition supervisor in the Carrier Air Traffic Control Center.

Norfolk Naval Shipyard to hold career fair at TCC Portsmouth From Norfolk Naval Shipyard Public Affairs

Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY) will host a career fair at Tidewater Community College’s Portsmouth Campus located at 120 Campus Drive, Portsmouth, Virginia Oct. 14 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The fair will emphasize shipyard career opportunities in the production skill trades. Representatives from major departments throughout NNSY, as well as the Naval Foundry and Propeller Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, will be on hand to meet with attendees and answer questions. Representatives for Fleet Forces Human Resources Office will be there to discuss the application process.

Congress has granted temporary Direct Hire Authority (DHA) for certain occupations at NNSY to shorten the hiring process so large numbers of civilian employees can be hired more quickly. Prospective applicants should have copies of their resumes available and be prepared to be interviewed at the career fair.

Federal employment ben-

efits at the shipyard include health and life insurance, matching retirement plan contributions, 10 paid holidays annually, 13 vacation days annually (advancing to 26), and 13 sick days annually.

The shipyard needs to hire more than 1,000 employees during the next 12 months. This will bolster NNSY’s number of employees to nearly 11,000, its most employees since the early 1990s, to support an influx of fleet repair and modernization in the coming years.

NNSY, a field activity of the Naval Sea Systems Command, is the oldest industrial facility belonging to the U.S. Navy, and specializes in repairing, overhauling and modernizing ships and submarines. It is the fourth largest employer in the Hampton Roads area with more than 10,000 civilians and an annual payroll of approximately $700 million. NNSY is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

Rear Adm. Christina Alvarado talks leadership, Hispanic heritage at LATINA Style symposium

By Mariah Felipe U.S. Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery Public Affairs WASHINGTON

Rear Adm. Christina (Tina) Alvarado, deputy chief for Reserve policy, U.S. Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, joined five Hispanic military leaders for a panel at the National LATINA Style Awards to offer guidance and advice on leadership and selfdevelopment.

Alvarado’s journey into the military was an unconventional one. She worked as a critical care nurse before moving to Washington, D.C. as a full-time staffer at the Senate Committee on Veterans Affairs, following the footsteps of her biological grandmother, who was one of the first female staffers on Capitol Hill. The veterans she met inspired her to join the Navy as a Reserve critical care nurse. Shortly thereafter, she deployed to Operation Desert Storm.

She went on to establish Navy Medicine’s first reserve expeditionary medical facility (EMF), EMF Dallas in 2011.

She was the first nurse to serve as the commanding officer of what was once a “fleet hospital” and one of the first

“

She and her team were given the honor of plankowners as the first Sailors to staff the EMF. Since that time, a total of four Reserve EMFs have been created within Navy Medicine.

“Having the honor of being a commanding officer with a team that accomplished a first like that was enormously satisfying,” Alvarado said.

“There aren’t many positions to go post-command, so I thought it’d be my last one and I’d retire as a captain.”

Shortly thereafter she picked up her first star for rear admiral lower half, and five years later, with her second star, she’s still serving as Navy Reservist.

During the LATINA Style panel, Alvarado told the group about a young Hispanic woman and Navy nurse she recently met. It was this officer’s first time interacting with a flag officer. The

Alvarado said. “My success is measured by the accomplishments of those I’ve had the honor to lead. My shipmates in Navy Medicine have proven to me, through their accomplishments and the work we’ve done together in the last 29 years, that I have all the success I’ll ever need.”

LATINA Style is a national magazine dedicated to the needs and concerns of the contemporary Latina professional working woman and the Latina business owner in the United States, showcasing Latina achievements in all areas, including business, science, civic affairs, education, entertainment, sports, and the arts.

Navy Medicine is a global health care network of 63,000 personnel which provides health care support to the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, their families, and veterans in high operational-tempo environments, at expeditionary medical facilities, medical treatment facilities, hospitals, clinics, hospital ships, and research units around the world.

woman expressed her admiration for Alvarado, and said, “You’ve made me realize that someday I may have the opportunity to be in your position.”

That statement is one that has changed Alvarado’s perspective on the importance of her role as a leader.

“At that moment, I started to wear my stars differently,” Alvarado said. “Holding a position of leadership isn’t about the person in the position or the traditions of honor that come along with it. Rather it’s about what that position represents for those striving to do better for themselves and those around them. I probably work harder now than I ever have before, because the young men and women of the Navy depend on me and I will not let them down.”

The Navy accepted delivery of the future USS Colorado (SSN 788), the 15th submarine of the Virginiaclass, Sept. 21.

The submarine’s sponsor is Annie Mabus, daughter of the 75th Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus.

The ship began construction in 2012 and is scheduled to commission in spring 2018. This next-generation attack submarine provides the Navy with the capabilities required to maintain the nation’s undersea superiority.

“Colorado’s delivery brings another Block III Virginia-class submarine to the fleet within budget. The submarine’s outstanding quality continues the Program’s tradition of delivering combat ready submarines to the fleet,” Virginia-Class Submarine Program Manager Capt. Mike Stevens said. “The Colorado is the most capable Virginia-class submarine bringing advanced capabilities and technology to the Navy fleet.”

Colorado is the fifth Virginia-class Block III submarine. Block III submarines feature a redesigned bow with enhanced payload capabilities, replacing 12 individual vertical launch tubes with two large-diameter Virginia Payload Tubes, each capable of launching six Tomahawk cruise missiles. This, among other design changes, reduced the submarines’ acquisition cost while maintaining their outstanding warfighting capabilities.

The submarine will be the fourth U.S. Navy ship to be commissioned with the name Colorado. The first Colorado was a three-masted steam screw frigate that participated in the Union Navy’s Gulf Blockading Squadron that fought in the Second Battle of Fort Fisher with then-Lt. George Dewey serving as her executive officer.

In the early years of the 20th Century, the second Colorado (ACR-7) was a Pennsylvania-class armored cruiser that escorted convoys of men and supplies to England during World War I. The third ship of her name, the lead ship of the Colorado class of battleships (BB-45), supported operations in the Pacific theater throughout World War II, surviving two kamikaze attacks and earning seven battle stars.

Virginia-class submarines are built to operate in the world’s littoral and deep waters while conducting anti-submarine warfare; anti-surface ship warfare; strike warfare; special operation forces support; intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance; irregular warfare; and mine warfare missions. Their inherent stealth, endurance, mobility, and firepower directly enable them to support five of the six maritime strategy core capabilities — sea control, power projection, forward presence, maritime security, and deterrence.

Truman makes waves, completes carrier qualifications

By MC2 Anthony Flynn USS Harry S. Truman Public Affairs NORFOLK

After completing Carrier Qualifications and a successful ammunition onload during a 16-day underway, USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) returned to Naval Station Norfolk Sept. 22.

The completion of the un-

derway was a major milestone for the crew checking another box on a long list of requirements before the ship deploys forward.

“All these underways are very necessary for Truman’s state of readiness,” Chief Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Handling) Dequon Smith said “It’s another piece of the puzzle for getting us ready for

the next underway and eventually a deployment.”

After a two-day ammunition onload, Truman and Carrier Air Wing 1 now have the tools to fulfill their mission.

“Now that we’ve taken on over 1,600 tons of ordnance we have what we need to support the team and fight at any time,” Aviation Ordnanceman 1st Class Assyrian Bell said.

Inspection ready

By MC3 Carter Denton USS George Washington Public Affairs NEWPORT NEWS, VA.

The U.S. Navy conducts inspections and reviews on everything, from the proper appearance and wear of a Sailor’s uniform to the water integrity of its largest warships. All inspections, no matter how small, contribute to the mission readiness of our nation’s naval forces.

The aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73) is undergoing the Career Information Program Re-

view (CIPR).

According to NAVPERS 15878K, CIPR focuses on areas dealing with Career Development Programs (CDP) and support systems at a command level.

Command career counselors play a large role in many of the CDPs inspected during CIPR such as the Career Waypoints (C-WAY) system.

According to http://public.navy. mil/bupers, the C-WAY system is a long-term force management tool used to balance manning across the rates by matching personnel inven-

Although Truman wasn’t operating with a full airwing this underway, the crew managed to accumulate over 800 aircraft launches and recoveries.

“The more we get our Sailors on the flight deck, the more efficient we become,” Smith said. “We have to make sure we’re getting our new Sailors qualified and we did

tory to the Navy’s manning requirements.

“One of the things that they inspect is the command’s C-WAY submissions and you have to have no failto-submits, which means we have to make sure that no Sailor in the entire command misses any C-WAY applications or looks,” Senior Chief Navy Counselor Nickole Palmore-Seay said. “With a command of about 3,000 people and four Navy counselors, that’s a lot of work.”

Command career counselors aren’t the only members of the command that have a role in CIPR. The Educational Services Office is another contributor to the command’s success in CIPR.

that this underway.”

In addition to qualifying their own Sailors, Truman also helped certify training pilots flying T-45C Goshawks.

“With a few more training evolutions and time with our airwing, we are definitely heading in the right direction as far as when we will be ready,” said Senior Chief Aviation Boatswain’s Mate

“The Educational Services Office team’s role in CIPR is to provide statistics on the ship’s advancement rate averages compared to the rest of the Navy and statistics on the command’s Tuition Assistance and NCPASE (Navy College Program for Afloat College Education) course usage,” George Washington Educational Services Officer Ensign Brian Smith said.

“Many departments across the ship take part in this yearly review.”

“Everyone plays a role because it’s a command effort,” said Master Chief Navy Counselor Ellis Picheloupe, a George Washington command career counselor. “Everyone has to come together to achieve a common goal.”

(Handling) Phillip Hickman.

Truman is currently moored at NOB preparing for Tailored Shipboard Test Availability and Final Evaluation Problem (TSTA/FEP).

For more information on USS Harry S. Truman, visit www.facebook.com /usstruman or visit www.navy.mil/ local/cvn75/.

Performing well in CIPR could result in awards or accommodations for the George Washington.

“If we do well on our assessment and meet all their requirements, we’ll receive the retention excellence award as a command to keep our anchors painted gold for another year,” Picheloupe said.

The crew of the George Washington stands inspection-ready due to the hard work and dedication of the Sailors in the command who serve to further the career of their shipmates through CDPs. For more news from Commander, Submarine Forces, visit www.navy. mil/local/sublant/.

SIMULATION

| Mannequins programmed for human reactions

Continued from A1 training.

“This year we celebrate our open house in conjunction with the Society for Simulation in Healthcare’s (SSH) first ever Healthcare Simulation Week,” Capt. Michael T. Spooner said, the medical director of the HSBTC. “Healthcare Simulation is a rapidly growing field that has grown out of the need to develop focused training for all members of the healthcare team that allow them to rehearse and integrate their skills before entering the patient-care environment.”

During the open house, equipment demonstrations included high-fidelity simulation mannequins that can be programmed to react to medical situations similarly to human reactions; skills trainers that teach and reinforce one skill, such as toenail removal; and medical response during the simulation of complex medical scenarios, such as on the battlefield or in a birthing suite.

“This offers a safe environment to make mistakes and learn from them so they are prepared for real-world events,” Robb Reynard said, a simulation operations specialist, as he demonstrated the Sim Junior mannequin to pediatric nurses.

“Our nurse educators are really good at coming up with curriculum for anyone’s needs.”

“I’m excited to come up here for training,” Pediatric Nurse Lt. j.g. Bridget Mahoney said after listening to Reynard’s presentation. “This is a great place

for any healthcare provider to train from hospital corpsmen to nurses and other ward staff so they can prepare for real-world events and strengthen their skills.”

During a presentation in the Surgical Anesthesia Simulation Suite, Mike Stephens showed visitors how a mannequin communicates with a computer to display the simulated respiratory rate and other bodily functions.

“I know how to work the equipment and I can help them with whatever training healthcare providers need,” Stephens said. “Doctors ask us to set up various scenarios as practice and refresher training. We want to give learners the opportunity to be the best doctors, nurses and corpsmen by helping them form crucial habits and processes.”

“This is amazing,” Lt. Cmdr.

Jennifer Maguire said, a nurse in the Staff Education and Training Department. “This is the first time I have been in the Sim Center. I am impressed with the variety of equipment they have for the different training possibilities, from neonatal to pediatrics to others for different situations. The moulage team is great so we can train for any situation.”

“I think people would be amazed as to how closely we can simulate about any situation in a hospital,” Spooner said. “With the aid of technology through mannequins, virtual reality, moulage, or task training equipment we can truly make a learner feel like they are actually in a patient care environment. This could be on a ship, in an operating room, or in a tent.

NMCP’s HSBTC, which started in 2006, has been in existence longer than any other simulation center at a Navy hospital.

“With over 11 years of work, we have had the opportunity to integrate ourselves into the ‘culture’ of the medical center,” Spooner said. “In addition, our close proximity of our center to the medical center maximizes our use by the hospital. Staff members understand the value of ‘iterative’ training, or training that allows them to practice and rehearse techniques in a controlled environment before entering the clinical environment.”

The HSBTC is another facet of the “Culture of Safety” that is embraced throughout the medical center. It builds on adult learning theories to integrate validated methods of learning and valid assessments of learning.

“Simulation training also allows learning in many different realms — learners can truly integrate cognitive learning with psychomotor skills — all of which are important for the successful performance in the healthcare setting,” Spooner added. “We assist all members of the healthcare team in their learning — doctors, nurses, physician assistants, corpsmen, and technicians both individually and through team training exercises.”

“We had Marines, Sailors and ships deployed across the 5th and 6th Fleet areas of operation, provided support to European, Africa and Central Commands and supported named operations in Syria, Yemen and Libya. These young men and women executed their missions with professionalism and excellence. They have a lot to be proud of and are certainly excited to be coming home in the wake of such success.”

To make matters worse, I had snack duty almost every week, and carpooled to practices with another military mom.

Furthermore, our circa 1981 house had a lot of quirks. The original Florida Heat Pump sputtered away, despite being several years past her recommended lifespan. What if she finally gave up the ghost? I had jury-rigged the refrigerator’s ice maker after it broke.

What if someone let a spoon slip down the drain? What if someone didn’t know how to get the toilet tank flapper to seal like I do? What if someone ran the mower over one of the sprinkler heads?

Even if I solved all the “what ifs,” there was still the problem of our budget. We didn’t have funds for a trip to a Motor Lodge in Schenectady, much less an African

Iwo Jima Sailor provides relief to hometown Key West after Hurricane Irma

By MC3 Kelsey Adams Navy Public Affairs Support Element KEY WEST, FLA.

Aviation Ordnanceman 2nd Class (AO2) Gabrielle Young, assigned to Waspclass amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima (LHD 7), assisted in relief efforts in Key West, Florida, Sept. 7-16.

Young, a native of Key West, along with other Sailors aboard Iwo Jima, has been a crucial piece in the puzzle for the ongoing relief efforts after Hurricane Irma made landfall in Key West as a Category 4 hurricane.

“It was incredibly cool to have had AO2 Young be a part of the relief effort after Hurricane Irma to help restore her hometown after a hurricane,” Commanding Officer of Naval Air Station Key West (NASKW) Capt. Bobby Baker said. “I stand in awe of all the service members and

civilian employees who have worked so hard this week to get NASKW and our community up and running.”

While Young was born in Lafayette, Louisiana, she considers Key West to be her hometown as she spent the majority of her life living there and because the locals made her feel at home for the first time in her life.

“It was a blessing that my ship, USS Iwo Jima, was selected to come down and help out after Hurricane Irma hit Key West,” Young said. “One of the main reasons I joined the Navy was because of all the amazing people that I met while I lived in Key West, so it really means a lot to me to have been able to give back to the people and community that helped me as I was growing up in Key West. I get to use all the skills the Navy has taught me and deliver the much-needed supplies my

ship was able to bring down.”

Since arriving in Key West, Sailors from Iwo Jima have been delivering water, food, and supplies to the community as well as repairing generators, clearing debris, and restoring NASKW’s port operations pier to make it available for use.

“On my first day here, I was able to go to port operations, and I helped put buoys into the water and restore the pier,” Young said. “By doing this, it opened up the pier so that military personnel could be brought in from the ships to deliver supplies and aid in various relief efforts around the base and community.”

As the Iwo Jima prepared to head back to sea, Young stated she looks forward to a time when she’ll be able to return to Key West restored and do simple things like going fishing and spending time with her loved ones, carrying

Bataan celebrates 20 years of service

By MC1 Kegan E. Kay USS Bataan (LHD 5) Public Affairs ATLANTIC OCEAN

Turning 20 marks leaving the teenage years behind and taking a first step into adulthood. In some cultures turning 20 is a big deal; in Japan, they have “Coming of Age” festivals, marking individuals becoming official adults in their society.

Twenty years ago, on September 20, 1997, the amphibious assault ship USS Bataan

(LHD 5), was commissioned.

Linda Sloan Mundy, the wife of former Marine Corps Commandant General Carl E. Mundy Jr., sponsored the ship and christened the new ship “in the name of the United States and in honor of the heroic defenders of Bataan” in Pascagoula, Miss.

Now twenty years later, the crew celebrates this milestone with a birthday celebration.

The day [Wednesday] started with a reading of the history of the ship’s name-

sake and about the Bataan’s predecessor, CVL 29, over the ship’s 1MC [the ship’s internal communication system]. The announcements continued throughout the day, with the ship’s current history and accomplishments and the meaning of the Bataan Seal.

To complete the celebration, the crew was invited to the mess decks for the official birthday ceremony.

“USS Bataan memorializes the valiant resistance of American and Filipino troops

on the Bataan Peninsula in the dawning days of World War II,” remarked Hospital Corpsman 1st Class Reynaldo Eugenio during the opening statement for the 20th birthday celebration.

The ceremony included live music performances by several service members and a special video to honor the ship’s birthday.

“It truly is an honor for me to be here and celebrate the 20th birthday of the Bataan,” stated Lt. Cmdr. Edward Ca-

filled me with a sense of accomplishment and joy. It is definitely an experience I will remember for the rest of my life.”

Relief efforts are still in effect in the Key West area, where military members and civilian volunteers are handing out food, water, ice, and supplies at several distribution centers around the com-

munity and are also supporting in the plans to continue to help the community in any way they can.

vanaugh, of Fleet Surgical Team 6, and Bataan plank owner. “It’s hard for me to believe that by the time I leave here I will have nearly 7 years invested in this ship, a full quarter of my career.”

Cavanaugh continued to state that things have not changed much from his first days aboard the ship and encouraged everyone to take pride and have ownership over Bataan.

“This ship is in the prime of her life. She’s worked hard over the past 20 years, through 9 deployments, most of which were during a time of war, including one that was

ten and half months long, the longest deployment for a ship in the Navy since 1973,” concluded Cavanaugh. “I challenge you to take action. Take care of ‘Our’ ship, make ‘Our’ ship better for those that come after us and have a positive attitude in all that you do.”

The ceremony concluded with a birthday cake cutting and some music while the crew members mingled and celebrated.

Bataan and its amphibious ready group are transiting home after completing a scheduled deployment to the 5th and 6th Fleet Area of Operations.

Omaha is the 10th littoral combat ship to be delivered to the Navy and the sixth of the Independence variant to join the eet. The Independence variant is noted for its unique trimaran hull, ability to operate at high speeds and its large ight deck size. “We are excited to welcome the future USS Omaha into the LCS class,â€? Commander of LCS Squadron 1 (COMLCSRON 1) Capt.

Jordy Harrison said. “LCS are in high demand around the globe, and after addi-

tional ship testing and crew training, Omaha will join the eet, serving combatant commanders in a wide range of worldwide missions.�

COMLCSRON 1 supports the operational commanders with warships ready for tasking by manning, training, equipping and maintaining littoral combat ships on the west coast.

Following commissioning, Omaha will be homeported in San Diego with her fellow ships USS Freedom (LCS 1), USS Independence (LCS

2), USS Fort Worth (LCS 3), USS Coronado (LCS 4), USS Jackson (LCS 6), USS Montgomery (LCS 8) and USS Gabrielle Giffords (LCS 10).

The LCS class consists of two variants, the Freedom variant and the Independence variant, designed and built by two industry teams.

The Freedom variant team is led by Lockheed Martin, with the Independence variant team led by Austal USA. Each LCS will be outďŹ tted with a mission package

made up of mission modules containing warďŹ ghting systems and support equipment. A dedicated crew will combine with aviation assets to deploy manned and unmanned vehicles and sensors in support of mine countermeasures, anti-submarine warfare or surface warfare missions.

NAVOCEANO KICKS OFF NAVY WEEK IN OKLAHOMA CITY High school students learn how environment affects Navy ships, submarines, aircraft, and how they operate safely, effectively

By Kaley Turfitt Naval Oceanographic Office Public Affairs OKLAHOMA CITY

Personnel from the Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO) helped kick off Navy Week Oklahoma City, Sept. 18, by visiting Mount St. Mary High School, touring the National Weather Center and speaking to a meteorology class at The University of Oklahoma.

Hundreds of students were taught how the physical environment affects Navy ships, submarines, aircraft and SEAL teams, and how ocean forecasters, geologists and unmanned

systems help those entities to operate and navigate safely and effectively.

“We’re very excited to show off Navy assets in a place completely landlocked,” NAVOCEANO Commanding Officer Capt. Greg Ireton said. “We’re a very unique part of the Navy and we want to show people, especially young people that might be interested in ocean and weather sciences, that there are opportunities for them in the Navy.”

NAVOCEANO, located at Stennis Space Center (SSC) in southern Mississippi, is comprised of approximately 700 military and civilian personnel.

Roughly 30 percent of the command’s workforce is comprised of scientists and engineers.

The command is participating in Navy Week Oklahoma City alongside SSC-based Commander, Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command Dep-

uty Commander and Technical Director Dr. Bill Burnett, who is attending as the Navy senior leader. The command will visit Meeker High School, Edmond North High School, The University of Oklahoma School of Geology, St. Eugene’s Catholic School, Oklahoma School of Science and Math, Bishop McGuinness High School, Capitol Hill High School, Broken Arrow Senior High School, and Creek Elementary School. They will also exhibit at the Oklahoma State Fair on Sept. 20-21 and 23-24.

The amphibious assault ship USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6) with the embarked 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) arrived in Okinawa to conduct the final offload of 31st MEU equipment, vehicles, and personnel, Sept. 19.

Bonhomme Richard departed Sasebo, Japan, for a regularly-scheduled deployment in the 7th Fleet area of responsibility (AOR), June 1. During the deployment, Bonhomme Richard and the 31st MEU participated in the bilateral, biennial U.S.-Australia exercise Talisman Saber 2017 (TS17), completed amphibious integration training (AIT) and certified as fully capable during the 31st MEU’s certification exercise (CERTEX).

“The accomplishments of our Sailors and Marines throughout this deployment exceeded all expectations,” Commanding Officer of Bonhomme Richard Capt. Larry McCullen said. “It has been an honor serving with the 31st MEU in this AOR. With all the training that we’ve done together, side-by-side, we have proven to be an unbeatable team.”

Through the exercises conducted during TS17, AIT and CERTEX, the Navy-Marine Corps team’s posture forward remains reinforced as a fully flexible and ready-response force, said Col. Tye Wallace, commanding officer of the 31st MEU. “It is exercises like Talisman Saber that enable the 31st MEU to be prepared to respond to contingencies throughout the region,” Wallace said.

“We will remain forward, flexible and ready to face any crisis, and we have been grateful for the opportunity to work with our close allies.”

While in Okinawa, the 31st MEU will off-load cargo and disembark ap-

proximately 1,200 Marine personnel, signifying the end of their deployment, while Sailors of Bonhomme Richard and Naval Beach Unit (NBU) 7 will assist with the ship-to-shore offload of heavy-lift vehicles and equipment utilizing landing craft air cushions (LCAC).

“The LCAC is our primary ship-toshore mover and the fastest transporter of heavy-lift equipment and vehicles,” Electronic’s Technician 2nd Class Patrick Johnson said, an NBU 7 navigator.

“We do a lot of working directly with the Marines, so we create really great working relationships with them and by the end of the deployment, the evolution is so smooth.”

The 31st MEU concludes their farewell deployment aboard Bonhomme Richard as the ship is scheduled to turn over duties with the amphibious assault ship USS Wasp (LHD 1) in winter 2018.

The BHR ESG consists of Bonhomme Richard, USS Green Bay (LPD 20) and USS Ashland (LSD 48). Bonhomme Richard, flagship of the BHR ESG, is operating in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region to enhance partnerships and be a ready-response force for any type of contingency.

Navy fosters resiliency to families of the fallen

Navy awards contract for Columbia Class submarine development From Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research, Development & Acquisition public affairs WASHINGTON

The Navy awarded a $5.1 billion contract to General Dynamics Electric Boat for Integrated Product and Process Development (IPPD) of the Columbia Class submarine Sept. 21.

The IPPD contract award is for the design, completion, component and technology development and prototyping efforts for the Columbia Class Fleet Ballistic Missile Submarines (SSBNs). This work will also include United Kingdom unique efforts related to the common missile compartment.

“The Columbia class submarine is the most important acquisition program the

Navy has today,” Secretary of the Navy Richard V. Spencer said. “This contract represents a significant investment in maintaining our strategic deterrent into the future, as well as our ongoing partnership with the United Kingdom.”

The contract award follows a successful Milestone B (MS B) approval Jan. 4 2017.

MS B formally initiated the Columbia Program entry into the Engineering and Manufacturing Development Phase.

“Awarding this contract is an important step in ensuring an on-time construction start in FY 2021,” Columbia Class Program manager Rear Adm. David Goggins said. “The Navy and our industry partners are excited to begin this important phase of the Navy’s number one acquisition priority.”

The 12-ship Columbia Class will replace the existing Ohio Class nuclear ballistic submarine force, which provides our Nation with a credible and survivable sea-based strategic deterrent.

The first patrol of the lead ship, SSBN 826, is scheduled for fiscal year 2031.

The Columbia Class Program is managed by Program Executive Office (PEO) Submarines. PEO Submarines focuses on the design, construction, delivery and conversion of submarines and advanced undersea and anti-submarine systems, including Special Operations Forces delivery systems, submarine rescue systems, torpedoes, towed acoustics sensors, and unique submarine sonar, control, imaging and electronic warfare systems.

Since 1936, the last Sunday in September has been designated as Gold Star Mother’s Day to recognize and honor those who have lost a child serving in the United States Armed Forces.

In 2009, fallen service members’ families were officially recognized and added by presidential proclamation, renaming the observance to Gold Star Mother’s and Family’s Day. Members of the Armed Forces don’t serve alone.

Standing with each service member are parents, spouses, children and siblings providing support and love. This year, when the president signs the proclamation observing Sept. 24 as Gold Star Mother’s and Family’s Day, the nation has the opportunity to let the families who have suffered the unimaginable pain of losing a loved one while on active duty know that America will not forget them or their hero.

The Navy is committed to helping foster resiliency for families of fallen service members regardless of how they died. The Navy Gold Star Program honors Gold Star families throughout the year by hosting events that pay tribute to their lost loved ones, providing resources and opportunities to connect with one another.

“Very quickly after receiving the call, we were able to get the humanitarian aid identified, sorted, packed, banded and transported to the flight line for delivery,” Department Director for Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) Craig Horton said. “To lend a hand in helping a nation in their time of need was an incredibly important priority for us.”

The earthquake struck on the 32nd anniversary of a 1985 earthquake that killed thousands in central Mexico. According to Mexico’s national Civil Defense agency, the sheer force of Tuesday’s quake reduced buildings to rubble and left large swaths of central Mexico without power. Medical aid and search and rescue efforts are ongoing.

“In times like these, it is imperative to have the right supplies and capabilities on site in very short order,” Commanding Officer Capt.

Michelle Morse said. “I believe we hit the mark, and I believe I speak for everyone on this team when I say it was an honor to be a part of that effort. Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Mexico as they navigate through this inconceivable tragedy.”

| Sailors cleared debris from the Lower Keys MAYPORT

Continued from B1 While on station, Sailors and Marines worked along the Lower Keys, from Marathon to Key West, clearing debris from 15 miles of roadway, distributing food, water, tarps, and blankets, and repairing generators and other critical infrastructure such as water-pumping stations.

The combined ships have almost 2,000 Sailors and Marines who provided expeditionary logistic support, medium and heavy lift air support, medical support, maritime civil affairs and maritime security.

Iwo Jima and New York departed their homeport in Mayport, Florida, Sept. 5 and conducted an onload in Norfolk of more than 300 Marines and Sailors with the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing and II Marine Expeditionary Force.

Units supporting the mission under CSG 10 included Amphibious Squadron (CPR) 4; the guided-missile cruiser USS San Jacinto (CG 56), which returned to Norfolk; Explosive Ordinance Disposal Group (EODGRU) 2; Tactical Air Control Squadron (TACRON) 22; Fleet Surgical Team (FST) 8; 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU); Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron (HMH) 461; Marine Air Control Group (MACG) 28; Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 28; Fleet Survey Team; Beach Master Unit (BMU) 2; Naval Beach Group (NBG) 2; Amphibious Construction Battalion (ACB) 2; Assault Craft Unit (ACU) 2; and Construction Battalion Maintenance Unit (CBMU) 202 det.

| Units adaptive, scalable, agile to mission requirements

Continued from B1 “It was pretty different, but it was awesome learning about the fleet rates we don’t see every day,” Jarbo said.

“It was cool to observe their daily routines. The ship is a 24-hour machine, and it was great to see how they work together to get the mission done.”

The Seabees toured the pilothouse, engine rooms and manned the helm during the transit, according to Lt. j.g. Anthony Holl, a civil engineering corps officer assigned to ACB 2.

Iwo Jima steamed south between Hurricanes Irma and Jose, experiencing heavy seas along the journey and eventually arriving off the coast of the Florida Keys with the amphibious transport dock ship USS New York (LPD 21) and the guided-missile cruiser USS San Jacinto (CG 56).

In first of its kind tasking for an explosive ordnance disposal group (EODGRU) commander, Capt. Josh

Jackson, the EODGRU 2 commander, served as the maritime command element (MCE) and lead Sailors ashore, joined by Marines assigned to the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit. The Sailors and Marines arrived at NAS Key West by way of Navy MH-60S Sea Hawk helicopters, Marine CH-53E Super Stallion helicopters and landing craft utilities from Amphibious Craft Unit (ACU) 2.

After being tasked to support the Federal Emergency Management Agency in the aftermath of Irma, the forces officially became Combined Task Force (CTF) 181.

Hurricane Irma wreaked havoc after making landfall in the Florida Keys, Sept. 10, ripping trees from the ground with root systems intact, cutting power to the islands and scattering debris.

Seabee units are adaptive to mission requirements, scalable, agile and able to deliver expeditionary engineering and construction whenever and wherever required.

They provide responsive military support for disaster preparation and recovery, including furnishing assistance to civilian agencies.

The three units, attached to the CTF 181 MCE, were equipped with an array of medium terrain vehicle replacements (MTVR), light service support vehicles (LSSV), high mobility military vehicles (HMMV), forklifts, bulldozers, dump trucks, chain saws and dewatering pumps. Self-sustaining, they built generatorpowered camps to house more than 100 Sailors in the field of NAS Key West for several nights.

“I am always in awe of the capability and work ethic they bring to the table,” said Chief Information Systems Technician, assigned to EODESU 2. “I have always known how hard-working they are, but I was truly captivated by their can-do attitude and ability to work efficiently when so many people were relying on them.”

Once camps were estab-

lished, the Seabees channeled their storied 75-year history and set out to work, clearing miles of roads and runways, removing more than 35 tons of debris and repairing vehicles and generators on NAS Key West and throughout Monroe County.

“It’s a great gift to be able to work with Seabees,” Holl said. “We come from a rich heritage and are instilled with the idea that we can do things that are incredibly difficult, and sometimes things that seem impossible, in any environment. Knowing that Seabees in WWII, Korea and Vietnam did things like that is motivating. We stand on the shoulders of the people that have come before us.

We always hope to live up to the proud memory of past Seabees.”

For 75 years, Seabees have been protecting the nation and serving with pride and outstanding dedication.

The men and women of the Seabees have been engaged globally in every theater, constructing bases, building

After turning over the task of long-term recovery to FEMA and the Florida National Guard, CTF 181 wrapped up their initial recovery efforts.

The Seabees packed up their gear from NAS Key West and returned to sea, Sept. 17.

“We could not have accomplished the mission

without the array of skills and dedication of each Seabee,” Operations Officer of CTF 181 MCE Lt. Chris Johnson said. “We were collectively able to help a lot of people in need, and that was the greatest feeling.”

New Jamestown-Scotland Ferry named

By VDOT SUFFOLK

The Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) by unanimous approval, voted to name the newest boat in the Jamestown Scotland Ferry system the Powhatan.

There has been a return to the naming of ferries after important historical ďŹ gures, including the most recent ferry boat Pocahontas, which was built in 1995. Powhatan was Pocahontasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; father and was chief of all the Algonquin

tribes in the area.

The CTB naming resolution states the Powhatan represents â&#x20AC;&#x153;a strong name for a strong vessel.â&#x20AC;?

The new vessel, with a 70-vehicle capacity, is under construction in Pascagoula, Mississippi and is expected to be delivered to the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) in spring 2018. The name of the new vessel needs to be placed on the boat before it is christened later this year.

The Powhatan will replace the ferry boat Virginia which

The Cold War ended when the Berlin Wall came down, but echoes of its dark and often deadly battles ring in Russia’s current behavior. That should not be surprising – Vladimir Putin learned to be a ruthless leader as a lieutenant colonel in the fearsome KGB, and as recently as 2010, the U.S. expelled 10 “illegals” – Russian spies living and working here under false identities. Other illegals have been – and presumably still are – based in Western Europe.

One such illegal was Bogdan Stashinsky, a Ukrainian national recruited by the KGB in the 1950s to work first as a spy and then as an assassin. Stashinsky received a specially made weapon, a tube about 8 inches long that used a gunpowder charge to ram a striker into an ampoule of liquid poison. Breathed by the victim, the poison mist produced cardiac arrest within two to three minutes and was virtually undetectable in the corpse. After Stashinsky defected to the West, his 1962 trial for murder was, as Serhii Plokhy relates in “The Man With the Poison Gun,” what is likely to be the definitive account of Stashinsky’s career as an illegal, one of the first public airings of the brutal methods the KGB used against enemies of the Soviet Union.

Stashinsky’s family mem-

bers were Ukrainian nationalists who wanted freedom for their country, but he believed that resistance to the Soviet Union was futile. After being arrested on a minor charge in 1950 and agreeing to work as an informer, he used his sisters to infiltrate the Ukrainian Insurgent Army and report to the KGB on its activities.

Stashinsky moved quickly up the KGB ladder, learning German, developing a false East German identity, and traveling to Munich to become familiar with the city.

In 1957 he used the poison gun there to kill Ukrainian nationalist and newspaper editor Lev Rebet, an assassination approved by Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev.

He struck again in Munich in 1959, killing a more prominent Ukrainian nationalist, Stepan Bandera.

KGB head Aleksandr Shelepin awarded Stashinsky the Order of the Red Banner for those two labors of “wet work” (named for the blood assassins spill).

The KGB had another Ukrainian nationalist in mind as Stashinsky’s third target. But Stashinsky, who in 1957 had married an East German woman over the strong objections of the KGB, had become disillusioned with the Soviet Union, a process accelerated by the KGB’s refusal to allow him to travel to East Germany for the birth of his son. When the baby died four months later, the KGB

PRESENTS

let Stashinsky attend the funeral, and he and his wife fled to West Berlin.

The CIA interviewed the Soviet assassin but did not believe his story and turned him over to West German authorities. After Stashinsky demonstrated how he had carried out his two murders, the West German police were convinced he was telling the truth. Meanwhile the Soviets tried to deflect blame by alleging that another Ukrainian nationalist, Dmytro Myskiw, had killed Bandera. But evidence showed that Myskiw was in Rome at the time.

A West German court tried Stashinsky in 1962 and sentenced him to eight years in prison. The court explained the light sentence by noting that he had acted as an “accessory” to murders ordered by the Soviet state.

Coming only a few years after national and international courts had rejected similar arguments from Nazi war criminals, the sentence received considerable criticism.

Plokhy, a professor of Ukrainian history at Harvard who directs its Ukrainian Research Institute and who has written 10 books, does an excellent job of describing the trial in the context of the Cold War, which was then near its height. He also notes that “the recent rise in East-West tensions” makes the “Stashinsky story … more than a piece of history” – it “is also an insight

into the present and forewarning for the future.”

Plokhy’s prose is sturdy but not sparkling (understandable for a writer whose first language is not English), and the book would benefit greatly from the inclusion of photographs of its principal figures. But he has done his research well, interviewing the few witnesses still alive and accessible, and drawing on documents from Eastern as well as Western archives.

And he doesn’t sensationalize a story so fantastic that it inspired an early scene in Ian Fleming’s posthumous 1965 novel “The Man With the Golden Gun.” Stashinsky served only about four years in prison, being released on parole in 1966 and disappearing from public view. Evidence indicates that he moved to South Africa (apparently without his wife), where he received asylum, assumed a new identity and may have advised the South African secret police about their own wet work. Residents of his native village in Ukraine believe he returned there at least once – unrecognizable, “a ghost in his own homeland and a tragic figure who is regarded as a traitor by every side he had ever been on.”

ARMY-NAVY RIVALRY DOESN’T RETIRE

By Sandra Parker Westminster-Canterbury on Chesapeake Bay

If you watch college football, then you know the Army-Navy game is one of the most traditional and enduring rivalries, dating back to 1890. Well you can now add golf/croquet to that rivalry as well, thanks to some very active retired veterans at Westminster-Canterbury on Chesapeake Bay. This is the fifth year the veterans have gotten together on the beachfront campus at 3100 Shore Dr. in Virginia Beach to see which branch will come out on top, and this year Navy did it again in this year’s match, played Sept. 22. Army won the first match five years ago, but every year since then, Navy has come back strong winning every annual tournament including this one.

The game actually causes a little friction on the homefront for one of the organizers of the event, Dick Binford. He spent 30 years in the Air Force, but he also went to the Naval Academy, so of course, he plays for Navy. His wife, Betty, was also in the Air Force, but her loyalty lies with the Army team when it comes to this big match. Dick Binford says it’s what you call “friendly rivalry.”

He says the beauty of this match up is the patriotism it brings out in everyone who is a part of the event. “It’s all inclusive,” he says, “kind of like the game of croquet.

No matter what your age, you can get out there and play.”

Binford also had the final match in this tournament and helped to bring the Navy team its 6-4 win over Army. That will also give him bragging rights at home at least until next year.

JJ Dillon, WWE Hall of Famer: ‘I’m the luckiest guy alive’

By Yiorgio Flagship correspondent

Legendary World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Hall of Famer and manager of The Four Horsemen, JJ Dillon, appeared Sept. 9 in Suffolk.

Part one of my phone interview with him was published in the Sept. 14 issue of the Flagship. This is part two.

Yiorgo (Y): In the early 1970s, the first time you worked for Jim Crockett Promotions, you actually wrestled David Crockett, one of the sons of Big Jim Crockett, the owner of the promotion.

What was it like to wrestle the owner’s son?

JJ Dillon (JJ): David wanted to wrestle, and they kept it under wraps, so he wrestled as David Finley, which is his middle name.

They kept it from his mother as long as they could. I was a good opponent for him, because we could go out there and have a good wrestling match without risk of getting hurt. We wrestled each other about a dozen times. We were in the middle of the card.

They knew I would take good care of David and not get hurt, and he was living his dream.

Y: Dusty Rhodes was so instrumental in your life. Can you talk a little bit about the man known as the American Dream?

JJ: I learned so much from Dusty. Dusty was the big idea guy, and I worked on filling in the details. We spent so much time together. I know the whole family and watched the kids grow up into the fine human beings they are today,

and I am so proud of all their contributions to our business.

Once I became a wrestler, I worked in Florida with Eddie Graham and Dusty. I will never forget their kindness. I had the opportunity to go up to the Canadian Maritimes and buy into a promotion, with no money but with my knowledge and my expertise and what I could bring to the table. Eddie and Dusty, with their blessings, gave me access to their library of tapes, so I can use them to build up the territory with TV. Because of various circumstances, eventually I called Dusty to see if I could return to Florida and he said, “Pack your bags we are going to the Carolinas for Jim Crockett Promotions.” I said, “Do I need to call Mr. Crockett?”

Dusty said, “No just show up.” I did, the Four Horsemen took off and as they say, the rest is history.

Y: Speaking of the Four Horsemen, can you pick your top three of the Four Horsemen variations or combinations?

JJ: Well I can name two.

The phenomenon that was the Four Horsemen lasted for 13 years, but I was involved three–four years before I left. My favorite group would be the original group that included Ole Anderson, because if that first formation of the Horsemen had not come together, then maybe none of the others that followed would have happened.

As far as my favorite group of what we were able to do in the ring, it would be the group with Berry Wyndham.

Courtesy Vanguard Championship Wrestling (VCW) VCW Heavyweight Champion Brandon Scott, left, with JJ Dillon at the recent Peanut City Showdown II in Suffolk.

To me, Berry was one of the true greats in the business and should have had an extended run as a world champion. He had it all.

You were very fortunate to work for Vince Sr. in the then-WWWF as a referee.

What are some of your memories of this great man?

JJ: Vince Sr. was a great man and respected both by the boys and the other promoters in different federations. I remember he would come to the Philly Arena once a month and always wore a suit and tie. He was a chain smoker and sadly he got lung cancer that took his life. He also had five or six coins, fifty-cent pieces, on him at all times, and he had

this nervous habit of putting a coin in his fingers and flipping it from the front to the back over and over. He was so kind to me. At that time I am a junior in college, and I was referring for the then-WWWF. He knew me by name calling me Jimmy. You see, I was a fan of wrestling, unlike most of the other referees who were appointed by the athletic commission of each state and were afraid to take bumps or do whatever was needed for a hot finish. Mr. McMahon Sr. and the wrestlers knew they could count on me. And the guys would take care of me, because Philly was a rough town.

When there was a hot finish, they would put me in front

of them and say, “When we say go, you go straight to the locker room don’t look back,” because the fans back then would throw a lot of things at the wrestlers. Even when I was not assigned, I would show up anyway. Vince Sr. would always make sure that the payoff guy, either Angelo Savoldi or Arnold Skaaland, would give me a $20 and say, “Vince really appreciates you coming in just in case we needed anything.”

My dream was always to at least one time wrestle at Madison Square Garden. Years later, when I was working for Eddie Graham in Florida, Eddie found out about my dream to wrestle at the Garden. He picked up the phone, called

Vince Sr., and Vince Sr. told him he remembered me so well and was so happy for me and would be happy to do it for Jimmy, that’s what Vince Sr. would call me. Two weeks later, I wrestled in Madison Square Garden. I’m the luckiest guy alive. Mr. McMahon Sr. died several months later from lung cancer.

Y: You have wrestled more than 3,200 matches in your career. What would you consider a wow moment?

JJ: As a wrestler/manager, I had a career that lasted 20 years with 3,200 some matches, and I wrestled the who’s who of the wrestling world back then. I actually would pinch myself as a referee when I would watch these guys on TV as a fan and now I’m the third man in the ring.

Later on, I wrestled them as well. Wrestlers like Eddie Graham, the original Sheik, Giant Baba from Japan and El Santo from Mexico, who in his day, was bigger then Hulk Hogan in Mexico. There are too many wow moments to pick from, but because I only wrestled one time at the Garden, that would have to be my No. 1 wow moment.

Watch for the upcoming part three of this interview in the Flagship, which will cover JJ’s Podcast, Ric Flair and more.

Yiorgo is a Hampton Roads arts, entertainment and sports writer. A stage, TV and movie actor, he is also an educator, motivational speaker, writer, storyteller and columnist.
