Chief of Naval Operations Thanks Shipbuilders 11 l 23 l 2020
A weekly publication of Newport News Shipbuilding
Newport News Shipbuilding President Jennifer Boykin shared with shipbuilders a letter she received last week from Adm. Michael Gilday, Chief of Naval Operations. In the letter, Gilday thanked shipbuilders for their continued support of the Navy and for their innovation and dedication to keeping maintenance and production work on track. “Over the past year, I have had the opportunity to visit with many of you and have seen firsthand the work you are doing to assist our Navy in building the most ready and lethal fleet in the world,” he wrote. “Without a doubt, shipbuilding and maintenance are the backbone of our Navy. And each and every one of you has played an important role to help us adapt, change and rethink how to keep readiness levels high during COVID.”

Graduation on the Go The inaugural group of 21 Newport News Shipbuilding employees to complete the Engineering Systems and Industrial Engineering Certification Program was recognized last week. However, restrictions in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19 meant a traditional ceremony wasn’t possible. So program leaders Rob Gies (E02) and Old Dominion University professor Dr. Resit Unal held a drive-thru ceremony outside Bldg. 902 on Nov. 18. “While masked, Dr. Unal and I handed each person their certification, and a pen from Old Dominion, through the passenger side window of their car,” Gies said. “It was not the kind of graduation that we had hoped for and even planned for, but it was the best graduation alternative that we could come up with.” To receive their certification, the shipbuilders completed an intensive six-course program from March 2019 to May 2020. The program, developed jointly by NNS and ODU, is targeted
toward six key shipbuilding areas – cost engineering, quality, systems engineering, project management, decision making, and advanced manufacturing. Functional areas throughout NNS met with ODU to tailor each course to the company’s needs. The NNS employees who completed the certification are: MB Abdussalaam (E16), Michael Altrogge (E84), Shannon Blevins (K49), Janice Boone (E68), Robert Cuffe (X01), Felicia Farmer (X44), Jose Gonzalez Nieves (E44), Adam Hedrick (X51), Matthew Marquand (X46), Karen Meyer (O19), Gershom Obeng (X51), Justin Paulson (E06), Jennifer Ramirez Araguas (E44), Sean Rhodes (E70), Lisa Robinson (O19), Walter Rose (E44), Brian Tapajna (X51), Anthony Ugoletti (X51), Kyle Winfield (K93), Eric Wishon (O19) and Todd Wobig (X47). For more information about the Engineering Systems and Industrial Engineering Certification Program, contact Rob Gies (E02) via email.

Waterfront Leaders See Value in Personal Approach The COVID-19 pandemic has brought a new set of rules to Newport News Shipbuilding, but waterfront leaders say their work goes beyond communicating the basics of mask wearing and social distancing. A personal approach can help shipbuilders deal with the challenges of COVID-19 as a new year beckons. Lead General Foremen Tony Wilkerson and Jason Ipock have dealt with COVID-19 rising cases within their crews, Wilkerson on John F. Kennedy (CVN 79) and Ipock on the USS George Washington (CVN 73).
On CVN 73, Ipock said a recent COVID-19 outbreak sidelined about half a crew. Two employees required hospitalization, one in intensive care. “Your initial thought as a leader is what have we missed?” Ipock said. “What was going on?” He concluded that a more personal approach was best. “I think we’ve got to focus more on the mental health side of what people are dealing with on a day to day basis,” he said. The pressure of meeting work deadlines, juggling school and family life, planning for the holidays – it all matters.
In each case, they saw the need to go beyond discussing government and company directives. Wilkerson tells potential close-contact employees of their larger responsibilities. “You have to heighten your awareness of what we’re dealing with as a country, not just the shipyard,” he said. “Your surroundings go past those gates.” If employees balk at wearing masks or other guidelines, Wilkerson wants them to think of others. “I ask if they have children at home,” he said. “I want you to see their faces when you are going about your day.”
“There is just a different level of stress you’ve got this year,” Ipock said. “We must make sure we don’t lose that engagement and show our appreciation for the men and women who come to work every day.” Ipock says NNS will emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic stronger than before. As he tells his general foremen: “You are having conversations that probably no other general foreman has had to have. It’s making you a better leader.”
