Master Shipbuilders Honored During Annual Recognition Ceremony 12 l 11 l 2017
A weekly publication of Newport News Shipbuilding
Newport News Shipbuilding’s Master Shipbuilders – employees with 40 or more years of continuous service – were honored during an annual recognition ceremony Dec. 6 at the Hampton Roads Convention Center. “Reaching 40 years of service is an extraordinary accomplishment and one of which you should all be proud,” Susan Jacobs, vice president of Human Resources and Administration, told honorees. “Many people don’t reach 40 years of service during their entire careers. We are honored and overjoyed that the women and men being recognized tonight chose to call Newport News Shipbuilding home for that long – and even longer in some cases.” CONTINUED ON PG 4
Holiday Food Drive Ends Friday A 1,000-ton barge crane and tugboats move a 42-ton whirler crane from just outside of the Modular Outfitting Facility (MOF) to Pier 6. Photo by Matt Hildreth
On the Move There was an unusual sight over the James River on Nov. 28 as one of Newport News Shipbuilding’s 42-ton whirler cranes was relocated by barge crane from just outside of the Modular Outfitting Facility (MOF) to Pier 6. “It’s very rare for us to have to move a crane like this,” said Aaron Moore (O48), who worked on the project for about a year. It had been a decade since a crane was relocated in this manner at NNS. The move was necessary because one of two cranes at Pier 6 had been relocated over land to Dry Dock 1 to support maintenance and modernization efforts on USS Columbus (SSN 762). That left Pier 6 in need of a second crane for backup and to support the workload, according to Scott Miller (O48). “We looked at cranes across the shipyard and evaluated which one was suitable based on its present condition and the rail gauge,” he said. Relocating the 30-year-old crane, which weighs 440 tons, involved shipbuilders from seven departments, multiple contractors, a 1,000-ton barge crane and three tugboats captained by Allen Sutton (X36), Tim Axsom (X36) and Tommy Wooten (X36). “Everyone did a very good job of getting the crane in safely,” Moore said. “It could not have gone better.”After about a year of planning, the actual relocation took less than three hours. Moore expects the crane to be operational in its new location in January.

Ford Documentary Premieres “Building Integrity, Building Ford,” a documentary produced by Newport News Shipbuilding that chronicles the 21-year journey of USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) from concept to commissioning, premiered Nov. 30 at the Virginia Air & Space Center in Hampton. Many shipbuilders who played a role in the ship’s construction appear in the documentary and were invited to attend the event, which also included a screening of the 3-D IMAX movie, “Aircraft Carrier: Guardians of the Sea.” Speaking before the premiere, Ken Mahler, vice president of Navy Programs, noted the “diverse and talented group of people” who came together to make Ford a reality.

SMALLTALK
about big ideas
Listen to Your Inner Alarm By Jennifer Boykin President, Newport News Shipbuilding As I stood outside my doctor’s ofce building with many others who evacuated with me, I wondered why so many people had decided to remain inside. Clearly, we all heard the same loud alarm. Did people assume the alarms were just a drill? Why don’t they believe it’s better to be ‘safe than sorry?’ And, should I have done more to get them to evacuate? It was at that moment that I decided safety would be my next SmallTalk conversation topic. Safety and Security are not just departments at NNS – they are a way of life for shipbuilders. I believe we sometimes take for granted this culture. It’s so ingrained into every ber of our being that it takes being away from work to see that not everyone has this same perspective. When I think about the recent hurricanes, res and oods; or the attack on Las Vegas, I am reminded of one thing: The difference between life and death, in many cases, is how and when we respond. I believe our culture helps us to prepare and react to the unthinkable. We are nuclear shipbuilders. Safety, quality, national security and responsibility are at the core of who we are and what we do. Lives depend on it, and depend on us. My hope is that we never have to experience a natural disaster or an attack. But if we do, I believe the more we think ahead of what we will do, and the more we drill, the more likely our instincts will kick in and help keep us safe. I encourage you to share an experience where you’ve put these attributes to the test – at work or personally. You never know how your experiences will make an impact on someone else. For me, the next time I hear a re alarm, I will not only evacuate, I will listen to my inner alarm and encourage – no, I will demand – that others join me. I hope you will also feel condent in reminding others that practicing may make all the difference for the real event.

Notice: Enhanced Security at NNS The United States Marine Corps Security Force is assisting Newport News Shipbuilding in providing enhanced security. This enhancement focuses on the construction of John F. Kennedy (CVN 79) and later in 2018 for the Refueling and Complex Overhaul (RCOH) of USS George Washington (CVN 73). Shipbuilders should follow the guidelines below when interacting with the Marines or NNS Security.

Service Desk Calls Surge Calls to the Service Desk, which handles information technology support for Newport News Shipbuilding, have increased nearly 30 percent this year compared with 2016. The increase in calls to 688-HELP is driven primarily by growth in mobile technology at NNS. The company has committed to deploying 900 additional laptops for the next four years to support the integrated Digital Shipbuilding program. Laptops lead to more Service Desk calls involving encryption, virtual private network (VPN), campus wireless and login issues. The Service Desk had its busiest month ever in October, receiving 8,600 calls. Answer times for that month averaged more than 13 minutes. However, by November, average answer times were reduced to less than six minutes. The Service Desk is increasing staff, and has a goal of reducing average answer times to less than two minutes. A chat option will also be introduced in 2018, allowing for faster access to help while having the convenience of multitasking. “From a technology standpoint, we are in the process of bringing in Machine Learning along with Chatbots that allow the Service Desk agent to be more efficient as well as delivering a library of automated responses to common questions for people to solve some of their issues on their own,” said Tim Bulles, manager of IT Service Management. Shipbuilders are reminded to have their user ID and telecom number ready when calling the Service Desk. The highest call volumes usually occur between 7 and 8 a.m., so users should avoid this window if possible.
You Should: • Promptly follow all instructions from Marines or NNS Security. • Obey all security signs posted on or around facilities protected by the Marines. Individuals who violate these secured areas are subject to being treated as an intruder and may be detained for further investigation. Violations may also result in disciplinary action, up to and including discharge from the company. • Report any security violations, suspicious activity or threats to NNS Security personnel, or call the Security Command Center (SCC) at 380-4031. You Should Not: • Attempt to converse with, touch, surprise or closely approach an armed Marine. • Make offensive comments or joke about assets the Marines are protecting, or attempt to position yourself between Marine personnel and these assets. • Loiter near assets protected by Marines or any Marine facility. • Leave backpacks, packages, etc. unattended in the vicinity of the Marines or the assets they are protecting. During Drills or Alerts: • Stay clear of Marine and NNS Security response forces and do not make any threatening gestures. • Stand fast and follow the directions of the Marines and NNS Security personnel. • Be safe and await instructions from: • NNS Security • Your immediate supervisor • Ship’s Force (if shipboard or in dry dock). The Marines will treat all personnel in a courteous but convincing manner. If you have concerns about any interaction you have with a Marine, you should report it to your immediate supervisor.
All NNS Dry Docks Occupied With the recent dry-docking of USS Columbus (SSN 762) in Dry Dock 1, all of Newport News Shipbuilding's seven certified dry docks are now occupied. All of NNS' certified dry docks haven't been occupied at the same time since March 1999.

“From our craftsmen and women to our inspectors, engineers, designers, and planners – we all worked together to make CVN 78 the warship she is today,” he said. Ship’s Sponsor Susan Ford Bales also was interviewed for the documentary. She could not attend the premiere but sent a congratulatory letter that was read before the movie.

Master Shipbuilders Honored During Annual Recognition Ceremony
“The documentary will most certainly become a special part of the ship's already stellar legacy,” she wrote.
Including the 359 members of the Class of 1977, there are now 1,161 Master Shipbuilders at NNS. Fifty shipbuilders have 50 or more years of service at the shipyard.
Haidee McKain (E25) was among the shipbuilders who attended the premiere. Now a test engineer, she started her NNS career as a designer and was able to participate in Ford’s progress in various stages.
NNS President Jennifer Boykin thanked the Master Shipbuilders for their commitment and for the inspiration and guidance they provide. “You make your mark every day, not just on the ships you are building but on the future shipbuilders you are helping to mold,” she said. “And what is so truly remarkable to me is that even after 40 years, 50 years and even 61 – many of you have no plans to retire. That is dedication like none other.”
“To see the evolution on the big screen puts it in perspective,” she said. “I had no idea it started back in 1996. It’s been a long journey for sure, and it was great to see it come to life.”
Bruce Young (X47) delivered the invocation at the ceremony, and Carolyn Cooper (O54) modeled the Master Shipbuilder jacket that each member of the Class of 1977 received.
Shipbuilders are invited to attend a screening of “Building Integrity, Building Ford” at 4:30 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 18, in the VASCIC auditorium.
CONTINUED FROM PG 1
This was the first Master Shipbuilder ceremony for Bill Taylor (X18), who came to NNS in 1977. “I’m honored to be here,” he said. “I’ve had a good time tonight.

EAP Services Available
Protect Your Identification Badge
Newport News Shipbuilding would like to remind employees that Employee Assistance Program (EAP) services are available to employees and eligible family members. EAP services are free and can assist with:
Newport News Shipbuilding employees can show company identification badges for employment verification purposes; however, badges cannot be taken from the employee’s possession. Other acceptable means of verification include business cards and pay stubs.
• Relationship or family problems • Alcohol and/or drug-related problems • Feelings of overwhelming loss or grief • Loneliness, depression and anxiety issues • Stress management • Divorce and blended family issues Employees can contact an EAP representative by calling 1-855-400-9185. Counselors are available to offer confidential assistance 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Employees can also contact their Human Resources Business Partner for additional information. Therapists and counselors are also available through the Teledoc Behavioral Health program. To speak with a therapist or counselor via phone or video conference, visit Teladoc.com/hii or call 1-800-TELADOC to get started.
Photocopying, faxing or reproducing an identification badge is a violation of company policy. Identification badges should never be worn outside of company premises when going to lunch, taking a break or even walking outside. Exposing the company identification badge in public permits identity thieves to see names, office information and possibly level of security clearance. Wearing badges outside of work also increases the chance of successful forgery. Shipbuilders should always remove badges when leaving work, even if just for a break.
