Drones Simplify Roof Inspection 8 l 27 l 2018
A weekly publication of Newport News Shipbuilding
Flying high above the South Yard, Newport News Shipbuilding drones completed their first roof inspection within the shipyard gates on Aug. 21. Facilities used the drones to inspect the roof of Bldg. 6. The team observed the footage taken by the drone’s camera to determine the condition of the shingles. The outcome? A few missing and loose shingles that need to be replaced. In the near future, the team plans to use drones to complete building and crane inspections across the yard. All shipyard drones are operated by drone pilots licensed by the Federal Aviation Administration. Watch a highlights video of the roof inspection on MyNNS.

Security Debuts Body Cams Uniformed Newport News Shipbuilding Security officers now have a new tool to assist them as they patrol the shipyard – body cameras. The department introduced its first eight cameras in early August. “This is a positive for our officers and for all shipbuilders,” said Lt. Christopher Cook, who is administrator of the body camera system. “There are a lot of benefits.” The devices can act as a deterrent to aggressive encounters and help protect officers and other employees. They also provide an unbiased account of any event captured. In addition, the cameras can provide documentation of safety or security issues that officers encounter. For instance, officers have been using the cameras at the North Yard to document traffic issues at the end of first shift. The footage will be used to help develop ideas to
improve parking and transportation at NNS. Officers have several mounting options. The cameras must be activated by the officer to record events or encounters. Once recorded, videos can only be deleted by the system administrator and only at the approval of the chief of Security. Cook said there are procedures in place to delete or safeguard any videos of incidents that may be recorded in sensitive areas of NNS. Although there are only eight cameras currently in use, there are plans to expand that number as officers continue to test and become familiar with the equipment. “The officers who are wearing the cameras appreciate and understand how important they can be in helping them do their job,” Cook said.
Representatives from national nonprofits, businesses and local community college and school division officials recently gathered at Newport News Shipbuilding.
NNS Educational Partnerships on Display Career Pathways at Newport News Shipbuilding is a model for educational partnerships. That’s why representatives from national nonprofits, businesses and local community college, and school division officials converged at NNS earlier this month to learn more about the shipyard’s efforts. The event, sponsored by Rob Hogan, vice president of Manufacturing and Material Distribution, included officials from the National Education Association, the National School Board Association...

8 | 27 | 2018 Integrated Digital Shipbuilding (iDS) efforts to change the way ships are designed and built are creating a future where shipbuilders are constantly connected to a digital ecosystem of real-time accurate information. However, this transformation does not come without challenges. It exposes a “digital divide,” or a gap in terms of access and usage of digital tools, especially between generations. In an effort to bridge the “digital divide,” iDS developed a Digital Literacy course. It focuses on everyday skills related to tablets, which are becoming more widespread throughout the waterfront to enable iDS efforts. The course supports the concept that digital skills development should receive the same level of attention as infrastructure development during the digital transformation.
Shipbuilders who recently completed the Digital Literacy course hold their certificates. Pictured in the front row is Linwood Parrish. Pictured in the middle row from left are Linda Bruce, Patricia Emmons, Latitia McCane, Ivy Spivey and Emma Snell. Pictured in the back row from left are Brian Bruce, Reginald Foote, Deborah Winkfield, John Kitchens and Charles Spivey.
Shipbuilders Bridging the "Digital Divide" Newport News Shipbuilding is undergoing a digital transformation and moving away from the twodimensional paper drawings that have been the company’s primary method for conveying design data for more than a century.
Shipbuilders had an opportunity to sign up for the Digital Literacy course during iDS Open House events, where they could experience new digital tools and technologies. In June, the second Digital Literacy course was held – this time in conjunction with the United Steelworkers union (USW). The course has been well received. “I came in with a pretty high confidence level in my skills. This, however, has reinforced what I knew and taught me what I didn’t know. The course has allowed me to be more competent in my skills,” said Paul Elmore (O15). The next course will be held in the fall, also with USW support, using sign ups from the most recent iDS Open House event. For more information, contact Marco Estrada (O25) of the Change Management and Communications team at 534-4796.
Husband and Wife Lead SFA Safety Teams A short conversation with Fitter Ricardo Brown and Welder Pinky Brown reveals the husband and wife duo’s passion for safety and their coworkers at Newport News Shipbuilding. Both Environmental Health and Safety Task Team leads in Structural Fabrication and Assembly, the Browns are responsible for two of the largest areas in the Manufacturing and Material Distribution Division and support more than 1,100 shipbuilders. “As EH&S Safety Task Team leads, it’s our job to promote a culture of safety at the shipyard and to be liaisons between our peers and management,” said Pinky Brown. Her X10 South team, sponsored by Superintendent Mike Simmons, is responsible for Virginia-class submarine, carrier new construction (CVN) and overhaul work sites, including outside platen work. Earlier this year, Ricardo Brown became the lead for the X10 North team, which is sponsored by Superintendent Mark Weaver and supports shop and outside platen work sites for the VCS and CVN programs. “I wanted to make a difference in the Ring Module Shop, where I work,” said Ricardo Brown. “I wanted to change some of the conditions and try to help all of the craftsmen and craftswomen.” The Browns – who said they also take their passion for safety home – have a combined 13 years of experience at NNS and are grateful for the opportunity to lead and help improve safety for fellow shipbuilders. But soon, the two will leave their roles as EH&S Task Team leads when they start new jobs at NNS in September. Pinky Brown will remain in SFA, while Ricardo Brown will move to the Non-Nuclear Inspection Department. The couple plans to continue making a positive impact on fellow

NNS Educational Partnerships on Display CONTINUED FROM PG 1
...the Association for Manufacturing Excellence, Thomas Nelson Community College, Newport News and Hampton schools and others. Participants learned how NNS works with local school districts and how those partnerships are helping to create a pipeline of future shipbuilders. But NNS’ efforts in the community have an even broader goal, according to Career Pathways Representative Pierrette Swan. Bob Drury (E51) presents the Apprentice Alumni Association's donation to Donna Tighe of the Virginia Peninsula Foodbank.
Apprentice Alumni Association Supports Foodbank The Apprentice Alumni Association collected donations for the Virginia Peninsula Foodbank during its Annual Crab Feast on July 20. Attendees donated 540 pounds of canned goods and $350, which will provide 1,400 meals.
Breast Cancer Awareness T-shirts Available Employee resource groups and The Apprentice School Student Association are joining forces to fight breast cancer.

See the flier for more information or contact Paula Young (O68) at 688-7634 or Brenda Meekins (O26) at 380-3239.
“We realize that not every student we reach will come to Newport News Shipbuilding to work, but we still want them to be successful, productive members of our community,” she said. “We want our region to thrive.” Participants took a windshield tour of NNS and visited the Mobile Experience (MX) trailer to learn about Integrated Digital Shipbuilding (iDS) efforts. Among the attendees was Seth Black, director of Career and Technical Education for the Academies of Hampton, an NNS partner. “It was a great opportunity to network and bring exposure to what we are doing,” he said. “I also want to commend Career Pathways for their hard work and efforts. I was aware of their outreach, but I didn't realize the magnitude of all they do.”
