Speak Out Against Sexual Assault By MC2 Dustin W. Sisco, Navy Public Affairs Support Element West, Detachment Hawaii

Little can deter the power of military-grade teamwork. However, a consistent affront arises and inexorably destroys the solidarity and camaraderie so many Sailors work hard to build. The problem is sexual harassment and sexual assault. Since July 25, Navy.mil and Marines.mil began publishing the results of Special and General Courts-Martial, including sexual assault cases in an effort to increase the transparency of the department's criminal proceedings. "Sailors need to be made aware that Sailors take care of Sailors," said U.S. Pacific Fleet Master Chief Marco Ramirez. "We count

on each other to save our ship, our shipmates, and ourselves. Sailors who hurt other Sailors violate our Core Values and there is no room in the U.S. Navy for those Sailors." A recent technological development that Sailors can take advantage of to mitigate a potentially risky situation is to download and use a free smartphone application called "Circle of 6." This app, which was initially developed for college students to provide an extra line of defense from violence, sexual assault and otherwise potential unsafe or uncomfortable situations, allows users to quickly send a distress text message to six people assigned to their "circle of six" - a group of six friends who can be trusted during an emergency.

Each year, U.S. Navy vessels are decommissioned from active service. Though decommissioning of naval ships is a common occurrence for the Navy, it leaves a lingering question for many former crewmembers, naval history buffs and people who are interested in the ships, "What happens now?" Since the U.S. Navy's inception in 1775, more than 15,000 ships have served and with those ships come even more Sailors. With each decommissioning, it is Naval History and Heritage Command's (NHHC) mission to collect and protect the artifacts and records that detail the history of the vessel. Unfortunately, that means plank owners and former crew members may not receive their own piece of history. Mark Evans, NHHC historian and former Sailor, sympathizes with Sailors who contact NHHC in the hopes of obtaining a memento from a decommissioned ship on which they served. "A lot of Sailors feel justifiably eligible after serving all of that time haze grey and underway," he said "Plank owners especially. Some of the most commonly asked for artifacts from decommissioned vessels are things such as ship's quarterdeck bells, plaques, national or jack flags and photographs." Though it is understandable that many past Sailors wish to have something in their personal collection to help them remember their time onboard their ships, rights to obtaining such artifacts are a common misconception. So, when ships decommission, such as the USS Ford (FFG 54) which decommissioned Oct. 31 or USS Thach (FFG 43) which decommissioned Nov. 1, their plank owners, those Sailors who were part of the first crew and commission the ships, may not get their "plank." see Capturing History Page 10

Captain’s Corner By Capt. Scott Gray NSA Commanding Officer Over the past couple of weeks, several stories have emerged in the Italian and international media regarding allegations of illegal waste disposal by criminal elements throughout the Campania region. Capodichino, the Support Site, Carney Park and Lago Patria are all located in the Campania region along with nearly eight thousand U.S. personnel. I would like to reassure everyone that last year the Navy concluded a $35 million, multiyear study for the Campania region that assessed environmental conditions and potential health effects on the area U. S. population. This study has long been available to the public and can be accessed on the NSA Naples webpage at http:// www.cnic.navy.mil/regions/cnreurafswa/installations/nsa_naples/about/health_awareness.html. It is important to look to verified, factual sources when formulating opinions on environmental concerns; in fact, in the last several weeks, Italian officials again requested and were provided access to the study. The Navy and I, as the Installation Commanding Officer, have always acted proactively in regards to the health of all our personnel living here in Naples. As a result of the Naples Public Health Assessment, we declared certain areas off-limits for housing leases, directed incorporation of bottled water provisions in all new and existing off-base leases, and have preemptively declared water non-potable in the Gaeta area, even when local officials have not issued similar warnings. We have a top-tier water purification plant that provides water to Capodichino and that same high quality drinking water is available free of charge for all Sailors and their families. Culligan water is available for home delivery on the Support Site through Residential Services and bottled water is available for purchase at both the NEX and Commissary. Here is the bottom line – the Naples Public Health Assessment assessed air, water and environmental quality and found that personnel living in the Campania region were at no greater risk than individuals living in like sized cities in the United States. We will continue to proactively address environmental concerns when and if they arise and you have my personal pledge that I will always act in the best interests of our personnel and their families. For those who would like to participate in the beautification of our area, there are many opportunities. For example, the Second Class Petty Officer’s Association conducts a monthly base cleanup which has lead to a marked improvement on Support Site. Next weekend, they will host a bridge cleanup outside the front gates of Support Site, working a detail supported by local authorities to cut back brush and clean up the bridge that many of us use on a daily basis. We continue to lag in areas of wet waste/compost and overall recycling in our housing units. It is paramount that trash and recyclables are properly sorted and placed in the correct bins. Black and green “Non-Recyclable Waste” bins are for trash that cannot be recycled. Brown “Wet Waste” bins are for compost only and no garbage should be placed in them. When the brown bins become contaminated with bags of regular trash, their contents end up being discarded entirely. The bottom line is, there is always room for improvement, and I know the Sailors and staff in the Naples area and their families are capable of being part of the solution. Enjoy the long Veteran’s Day weekend and take time out to remember the sacrifices of those who have served before us and their role in building our great nation and preserving the rights we all enjoy!

Tomato Company Ad Sparks Issue with the South An image of boot-shaped Italy published on a tomato company’s website sparked a row for discriminating against tomatoes produced in southern Italy. The ad indicated that the tomato sauces produced by the company are only made from the north of Italy and not in the “polluted south.” Producers’ and farmers’ associations condemned the ad for damaging the entire Southern canned vegetable sector, especially in Campania. The associations stated that 100 percent of processed Italian tomatoes passed the mandatory health ministry chemical residue testing. According to the Coldiretti Association, Italy has the cleanest bill of health in Europe in terms of food safety. The Coldiretti association also pointed out that 0.3 percent of national products tested above the chemical residue limit, against an average of 1.5 percent in Europe and 7.9 percent outside the EU. The ad was provoked by recent reports that Italians were being fed food contaminated with toxins from an area of farmland between Naples and Caserta where rubbish is constantly burnt. Meanwhile, a campaign is underway to stop the mafia from dumping toxic industrial waste in the Campania region around Naples. In response, the Archbishop of Naples, Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe, has barred polluters from receiving communion. The Italian Lower House recently authorized a clean-up operation for an area north of Naples damaged by illegal burning of toxic waste. Nunzia De Girolamo, Minister of Agriculture, Food and Forestry Policies said that the company should apologize to thousands of honest producers, and then to consumers.

Former Naples Mayor Acquitted The former mayor of Naples and ex-governor of the Campania Region Antonio Bassolino was acquitted along with 27 other defendants from a court in Naples that dropped charges against them. He was charged with illegality in waste management in the Campania region, and also accused of failing to terminate a contract with the public contractor supplying waste management. Prosecutor Paolo Sirleo asked that the mayor’s charges be dropped under the statute of limitations even though he claimed the mayor’s actions

contributed to the commission of crimes. The Impregilo Group, parent company of Fibe, which won the bid for the handling Campania's waste management, received a 750,000 euro fine and is banned from public administration contracts for two years.

German Warship Found by Divers A German warship from World War II was found in good condition by divers off the coast of Sardinia. The "Languste", torpedoed 71 years ago, was found off Capo Figari, 80 meters underwater.

Pompeii Reports Crumbling on Wall of House On Monday, guards at Pompeii archaeological site reported crumbling on the upper portion of a 2.7 feet long wall at a house in the via dell’Abbondanza. In the past two years sections of structures have fallen bringing concerns about the ability of Italy to protect the site from further degradation and many critics have complained that nothing has been done to preserve and protect the site.

Large Cruise Ships Banned in Venice Lagoon Effective November 2014, large cruise ships won’t pass through the lagoon at Venice. The order came after the PM and his ministers held a meeting over how to implement a law in Venice over banning large ships from passing near Italian shores. The law was enacted nationwide following the capsize of the Costa Concordia cruise ship in early 2012, which killed 32 people off the coast of Tuscany. The law had been suspended in Venice, where the cruise industry the key to the local economy. According to the order, ferries will also be banned as of January from passing through the Giudecca Canal. Cruise ships weighing over 40,000 tons must be reduced to 20 percent of their current volume in Venetian waters. The outright ban on cruise ships in November 2014 only applies to those over 96,000 tones – a size similar to the Costa Concordia. There are over 650 cruise ships that pass through the city annually. The new provisions would tighten daily limits on cruise liners, with no more than five ships over 40,000 tones allowed passage, obliging many ships to find alternative docking outside the city itself.

Nimitz Sailors explore italy By MCSN Kole E. Carpenter, USS Nimitz Public Affairs The aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68) and embarked Carrier Strike Group (CSG) 11, Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 11 and Destroyer Squadron 23, departed from Naples, Italy, Nov. 4, after a five-day port call. The port visit allowed Nimitz Strike Group crew members an opportunity rarely available to those deployed from the West Coast. "A port call in Italy is pretty much unheard of for Pacific-deployed ships," said Chief Operations Specialist Travis Lovegrove, Nimitz's Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) leading chief petty officer. "This was a huge boost for the crew's morale, especially after so long at sea." The ship's MWR arranged tours of Pompeii, Naples, historic Rome and the Vatican wherein Sailors and Marines were able to experience the local culture and history. "The tours that MWR put together were amazing," said Aviation Electronics Technician 3rd Class Jessica Waller, a junior Sailor aboard Nimitz. "It was a refreshing change in scenery. And, the fact that we came from the West Coast and got to visit Italy is pretty astonishing." "It was almost like an early Christmas present," said Machinist's Mate 3rd Class Scott Reese. "Visiting a European port was definitely not something I expected. It was a great surprise." Nimitz left its homeport of Everett, Wash., March 30 for a scheduled Western Pacific deployment and is currently supporting maritime security operations and theater security cooperation efforts in the U.S. 6th Fleet area of operations.

Saving Energy Means Saving Money at NSA Naples By MCSN Weston Jones, Navy Public Affairs Support Element-East Detachment Europe

Wasting energy doesn’t only hurt the environment, it hurts the Navy financially. Finding smarter ways to use resources is a priority in a time when the budget poses a threat to defense and to the quality of life for Sailors and their families. The Public Works Department of Naval Facilities Engineering Command Europe, Africa, Southwest Asia (NAVFAC EURAFSWA) is working in conjunction with Naval Support Activity (NSA) Naples to find better and more efficient ways of using resources to avoid wasting money on energy. Some projects NAVFAC has completed include installing solar panels on top of a parking garage, sensors in buildings that automatically shut-off lights and more efficient appliances. They also conduct mandatory energy conservation briefs at area orientation for new arrivals. “Energy conservation is keeping the Navy smart with its impact on the environment and with its money,” said Engineman 2nb Class Cardea Blue, coordinator for Public Works Energy Conservation. In addition to overseeing various “green” projects, Blue is also in charge of a team of building energy waste monitors, a group of service members and civilians who take on the extra task of making sure their area of responsibility isn’t wasting energy. “They are the eyes and ears for public works,” said Blue. Felicia Fioccola, Safety Technician for NSA Naples and a building energy waste monitor, said there are many simple every-day things a person can do to save energy that will add up. Some of her suggestions include hanging your clothes up to dry, taking shorter showers and turning your lights off when you’re not using them. “We live in world where everything is push button and it all uses more energy than the tradition-

al way of doing things,” said Fioccola. “We live in luxury compared to other countries.” Energy conservation is about more than saving money and the planet, it is also about appreciating our lifestyle. “Most people in third world countries have no electricity or running water,” said Fioccola. “It’s sad that we have all this great stuff and we don’t take it into consideration.” Becoming more energy efficient is an ongoing process. It helps the environment and in a time of budget woes it makes available more money the Navy can put to use in other areas besides the electric bill. “Saving money on energy allows the military to spend more on MWR programs and other recreational facilities,” said Blue. Energy conservation is a command-wide initiative. MWR has implemented programs to contribute to the movement including a new program to make the lighting at Carney Park more efficient. “Energy savings is a great thing and ultimately it reduces the expense for the command,” said Janet Murdoch, MWR business manager. “We’re doing the right things for the right reasons.” Finding more efficient ways to use resources is vital to the future of the Navy and to the environment. While some efforts might take years to produce measurable results, what is important is that a movement has begun and the Navy is looking toward the future in regards to energy efficiency. Command funded projects make a big difference. Major results lie in individuals collectively choosing to be smart about the resources they use. Saving energy today could put more money in the pockets of other initiatives and programs to help improve U.S. Naval bases and the lives of Sailors across the world.

Energy Conservation Cool Down From the NSA Naples Energy Management Team

With the days becoming cooler, many of us are more inclined to bundle up or use the heat. Generally setting your thermostat to 68 degrees Fahrenheit (Approximately 20 degrees Celsius) during the day and lower at night will save you quite a bit. Ideally, turning your thermostat down an additional 10 to 15 degrees for eight hours (while you sleep or go to work) could potentially save you about 5 to 15 percent a year in energy cost. That works out to about 1 percent per degree you turn the thermostat down during the eight-hour period.

US, Romania Begin Work on Aegis Ashore Missile Defense Complex By Vince Little, USACE

Top U.S., Romanian and NATO officials broke ground Oct. 28 on a new ballistic missile defense facility being built to boost regional stability and strengthen the alliance's collective security stance. The high-profile ceremony signaled the start of construction for the Aegis Ashore complex, the second stage of the three-part European Phased Adaptive Approach to ballistic missile defense. It follows the September 2011 accord between the United States and Romania to establish a site here for land-based SM-3 interceptors. The U.S. facility is expected to be fully operational by the end of 2015. Romanian President Traian Basescu, U.S. Undersecretary of Defense for Policy James Miller, Romanian Minister of National Defense Mircea Dusa, NATO Deputy Secretary General Alexander Vershbow, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Frank Rose and Vice Adm. James D. Syring, the Missile Defense Agency director, were among the senior leaders at the groundbreaking event. "This is a historic occasion," Vershbow told the audience. "Missile threats to alliance territory and populations are real and growing. NATO's defense against these threats must be real, too. And it must be able to grow and adapt as the threat evolves. That's the approach we are taking at NATO." U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Europe District is managing the project. A Romanian contractor, SC Glacial PROD SRL, conducted site-activation work in advance totaling $3.3 million. It constructed temporary facilities on the base, including offices, container housing units, a warehouse and vehicle inspection area. In July, USACE awarded a $134 million contract to KBR Inc., which will cover all construction, security fencing and storage, infrastructure maintenance and support services for Aegis Ashore. Europe District officials said a contract for the construction of Navy support facilities and infrastructure could be awarded in early 2014. Col. Peter Helmlinger, the Europe District commander, presented USACE's traditional groundbreaking plaque to Rear Adm. Jack Scorby, commander of Navy Region Europe, Africa, Southwest Asia. "A groundbreaking ceremony symbolizes the partnership among the organizations that will be coordinating on a project," Helmlinger said.

"The No. 1 priority for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and chief of engineers is to support (Combatant Commands) and warfighters. ... Our role is critical, along with our partners, to ensure the success of this project." Officials say the U.S. and its European NATO allies face a growing threat posed by the proliferation of ballistic missiles, particularly from the Middle East. Global trends indicate the systems are becoming more flexible, mobile, durable, reliable and accurate, while also increasing in range. Regional actors continue to develop long-range missiles that can threaten the U.S. and Europe. "The facility here in Deveselu will be a crucial component in building up NATO's overall ballistic missile defense system," Vershbow said. "This will make the NATO system more robust [and] increase its level of coverage. And it will enhance the level of protection the alliance can provide." The European Phased Adaptive Approach allows for flexibility based on technological advances and the evolution of ballistic-missile threats, U.S. defense officials said. Two years ago, the Phase I completion featured the deployment of Aegis BMDcapable ships in the Mediterranean equipped with SM-3 interceptors, as well as a missile-defense radar based in Turkey. The U.S. is targeting sometime in 2018 for the third phase, which sets up an Aegis Ashore site in Poland. In addition, Aegis BMD ships will be forwarddeployed to Rota, Spain, starting next year. They will be available to support NATO missile-defense capabilities in crisis situations. "Our commitment to EPAA is ironclad, and I look forward to seeing the completion of the system in the coming years," Miller said. The land-based ballistic missile defense capability in Romania will rely on a system almost identical to that used on Navy Aegis-capable guided-missile destroyers and cruisers. It's designed to detect, track, engage and destroy ballistic missiles in flight. The BMD facility at Deveselu sits on about 430 acres. The site will consist of a firecontrol radar deckhouse with an associated Aegis command, control and communications suite. Separately, it will house several launch modules containing SM-3 missiles. "This is a major project, and it will take a concerted effort in the next two years to finish strong," Helmlinger said.

Stay Fit All year Starting with the holidays From Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs

For most Sailors, the Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) will be completed just before the holidays begin. After training hard to perform at top levels for the semiannual Physical Readiness Test (PRT), Sailors are encouraged to maintain fitness levels throughout the year. "As a Command Fitness Leader, I often see an increased number of Sailors working out and running on all installations immediately before the PRT," said Lt. Cmdr. Austin Latour, CFL program manager. "What we want to avoid is the drop in physical fitness after the PRT is over." According to Latour, Sailors should always be physically fit, not just because of service requirements, but to increase resilience and maintain a healthy lifestyle. "Sailors are responsible for their own physical fitness levels," said Latour. "The more physically fit a Sailor is, the better they will perform at their job and at home. Being fit helps you be a better bystander when a shipmate needs you to help on and off the job.

"We need great people to accomplish the project. Teamwork is absolutely essential to accomplish this mission. We all have to work on the common objective of project delivery that produces this facility on time, on budget, transparently and safely. ... The Corps of Engineers is committed to delivering state-of-the-art construction projects for our service members worldwide - and especially here in Europe." About 200 U.S. military personnel, government civilians and support contractors will be required to operate the Aegis Ashore complex, according to Defense Department estimates. BMD cooperation helps feed NATO's mutual security efforts and forms part of a broader response to counter potential dangers, U.S. officials said. The mission's global nature and demand it places on American forces drive the need to bolster missile-defense relationships and seek burden-sharing arrangements with partners and allies. "Today's groundbreaking

Many Sailors think that physical fitness is about them, but that is not always the case." "What I want my shipmate to know from my actions and PFA results is that I will not let them down when a physically or mentally demanding job is asked of me," said Latour. "When I am asked to perform a task by my superiors, I should always be ready." After the PRT, fitness levels should be maintained by continuing an exercise routine. 0 "You don't have to train for a 1.5 mile run or push-ups and curl-ups after your PRT, so train for something else," said Latour. "Try some different exercises such as cycling, rowing, or high intensity training, all of which can be performed inside or out. Involve your family, friends and shipmates and plan workouts into your schedule." According to Latour, once an exercise routine is established, it is much easier to maintain fitness levels all year long. Visit the Physical Readiness Program website to view some sample workouts that are beneficial for individuals and groups at: www.npc.navy.mil/support/21st_Century_Sail or/physical/.

ceremony is pivotal as we move forward with our ballistic missile defense capability," Scorby said. "We'll be working very closely with our Romanian counterparts to ensure they have the proper infrastructure, resources and security to make sure we bring our Aegis Ashore capability to bear. ... Geographically speaking, this is a great location to defend against any threats that might be out there." Close collaboration will be critical in bringing the Romania project to completion -- from the strategic bilateral partners and USACE managers to the contractors carrying out the labor, the admiral said. "We will all work together toward that common ground of ensuring we have a ballistic missile defense system on time and ready to defend Europe's interests," he said. The placement of Aegis Ashore at Deveselu also represents a major milestone in the deepening strategic bilateral partnership between the U.S. and Romania, Miller said. The two nations served together in Kosovo, Iraq and

Afghanistan. Their armed forces routinely participate in military exercises and engagements as well. "Romania has evolved into one of our most reliable and steadfast partners ... and increasingly, a country that can export security around the world," the undersecretary added. "We see great potential in further building this relationship." Basescu praised his nation's strong defense bond with the United States but said Monday's ceremony had a deeper significance for Romanians. "It means Romania is now integrated into the overall systems of NATO," he said. "This base will also prove we have the capabilities to protect European and American citizens from the real threat of ballistic missiles. ... Today, I have the feeling of a job completed." MDA's Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System has proven effective through repeated testing. Since January 2002, it's been successful in 28 of 34 intercept flight tests, according to U.S. officials.

SEXUAL ASSAULT

Continued from Page 1

According to Ramirez, it is absolutely not okay to turn a blind eye to the problem of sexual assault. "As I get out to the Fleet and see what is acceptable in our society I see a thin line out there of what acceptable behavior is. The way men treat women is something we need to discuss. There are people out there who look for the drunkest one. This behavior is not consistent with our Core Values and is what gets a lot of Sailors in trouble." Cryptologic Technician (Collection) 3rd Class Anthony Mehring echoed Ramirez' sentiments toward the prevention of sexual assault. "There are a few things you can do to prevent an incident, which basically comes down to doing what's right when the circumstances arrive," Mehring said. "Using the buddy system and looking out for signs of someone being a predator toward one of your shipmates are effective ways to stop something from happening." Lt. j.g. Kelly Agha, training officer and Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) coordinator onboard the Pearl Harbor-based guidedmissile destroyer USS Halsey (DDG 97), talked about the importance of looking out for shipmates. "You've got to put others before yourself," said Agha. "If you see something happening - even if you're drinking underage - it is your obligation to stand up for that Sailor." The Navy takes the consequences of perpetrators quite seriously, stressing how sexual harassment and assault will not be tolerated. "The bottom line - once a report has been substantiated the offending Sailor is caught and will be prosecuted, disciplined, and separated from the U.S. Navy," Ramirez said. "On the opposite side the victim seeks counseling and may be transferred from their command. This affects Sailors, commands, and families." The fleet-wide SAPR training teaches Sailors the effective ways they can report sexual assault incidents. "Once an incident is made known to the command the victim elects the process in which the report is made - restricted or unrestricted," Ramirez said. "The question - 'is this working?' - I would say yes, without a doubt - Sailors trust their leadership to do the right thing and reports of past incidents are being addressed. The fact that leaders make this a readiness issue makes it a priority coupled with the fact that Sailors trust their leadership to report these cases points in the right direction. Bottom line: In order to kill this beast we need to attack prevention." In addition to giving victims an avenue to report cases, the SAPR program also provides services that help survivors deal with the occurrences. "The SAPR program is important because it gives hope to the survivors," said Agha. "It provides for the victims a way to cope with it, a way to get justice and get medical attention and counseling - it gives them what they need to help them through a sexual assault." Although the SAPR training and program seem to be effective, it is not the only avenue that must be traveled in order to reduce the incidents of sexual assault. "Our business is to run the Navy, so we need to fix this problem," stated Ramirez. "Confidence and trust equals change - cultural change. Sailors are mission oriented and we need to continue with work center safety as we fight to prevent Sexual Assault. Bystander intervention can work to change the culture if it's used on a continuum basis when we let each other know what is acceptable and what is not. We need to stand up and encourage each other to break through the peer pressures of acceptable culture and make it known that Sailors who abuse women, or abuse young girls, or abuse boys, or abuse other men that that behavior is not acceptable - we need to speak out. We need more Sailors with the guts and strength to stand up and do the right thing." According to Ramirez, Sailors must remain vigilant, on and off duty. "Let's take care of each other," Ramirez continued. "Help change the culture and correct the behavior once you hear it - in the work place - jokes, offensive material that is not professional for the work spaces. Once you identify behavior - correct it. Once Sailors walk by this behavior they condone it. We also need to report the results of intervention to the chain of command so we can spread the word of what worked." In order to get feedback from the fleet, Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus announced the 2013 Department of the Navy Sexual Assault Prevention and Response survey in ALNAV 070/13. This voluntary, anonymous survey will be conducted from Oct. 15, 2013 through Jan. 6, 2014. The results of this survey will provide insight into the true frequency of sexual assaults involving Sailors, the circumstances surrounding those assaults, and factors affecting their reporting. This information is critical to inform the Navy's SAPR program progress, future policy, training, messaging and awareness. It can be accessed from any web-enabled computer, tablet or smartphone at www.donsapro.navy.mil/donsas.html. The password for all military participants is 2013Survey. Ramirez also remarked on the efforts toward preventing sexual crimes being long-lasting, rather than treating the problem with a temporary solution. "It takes time to change the culture, so we need to stay on it," mention Ramirez. "Identify the behavior in the work centers and correct it then. By doing that we gain our Sailors trust to do the right thing. It's like seeing trash on the ground and you stop to pick it up and throw it away. Do the same thing - identify it and address it so we can earn Sailors trust and confidence - by doing that we can change the culture."

Submarine North Dakota Christened in Groton By Lt. Timothy 7Hawkins, Submarine Group 2 Public Affairs

The Navy's 11th Virginia-class attack submarine was christened in Groton, Conn., Nov. 2, during a late-morning ceremony at the General Dynamics Electric Boat (GDEB) shipyard. The ceremony marked the official naming of Pre-Commissioning Unit (PCU) North Dakota (SSN 784). The ship is currently under construction by both GDEB and Newport News Shipbuilding, a division of Huntington Ingalls Industries, through a teaming arrangement. Ship sponsor Katie Fowler, wife of retired Vice Adm. Jeff Fowler, was on hand to officially christen the submarine by breaking a bottle of sparkling wine against the back of the boat's sail. "In the name of the United States, I christen thee North Dakota. May God bless her and all that sail in her," said Mrs. Fowler just before giving the bottle a brisk swing. During keynote remarks, Commander Submarine Forces Vice Adm. Michael Connor told more than 4,500 dignitaries, Sailors, and shipyard personnel in attendance that the Navy needs the nuclear-powered attack submarine as soon as "practical." "The Submarine Force eagerly awaits the day when USS North Dakota will assume the watch and establish a legendary reputation worthy of the name North Dakota," said Connor. "There's still much to be done, and there is not a moment to lose." PCU North Dakota is the second Navy ship named after the 39th state. The first was a Delaware-class dreadnought battleship. SSN 784's name was chosen in honor of North Dakota's proud military heritage. Seventeen North Dakotans have been awarded the Medal of Honor for actions in combat. In future years, the attack submarine will deliver speed, agility, stealth, endurance and firepower to combatant commanders directing

U.S. military operations around the globe. Virginia-class subs have improved stealth and sophisticated surveillance capabilities. Their special warfare enhancements enable them to meet multiple mission requirements. North Dakota will be able to attack targets ashore with highly accurate Tomahawk cruise missiles and conduct covert long-term surveillance of land areas, littoral waters or other seabased forces. Its reactor plant is designed so that it will not require refueling during the planned life of the ship, reducing lifecycle costs while increasing time at sea. North Dakota's construction will continue during the next few months as its 138 crewmembers prepare to evaluate the ship's seaworthiness and operational performance during sea trials. "The Navy and the nation count on our submarine force to deliver relevant and powerful capabilities where and when it matters, and nothing is more important to meeting that commitment than building the most capable submarines in the world," said Rear Adm. Ken Perry, commander, Submarine Group 2. In addition to surveillance missions, North Dakota will be able to perform anti-submarine and anti-ship warfare; deliver and support special forces; and conduct mine delivery and minefield mapping operations. "Every phase of submarine construction requires world-class expertise and close partnership, and today's christening at Electric Boat signifies a key milestone in that partnership toward delivering North Dakota to the fleet," Perry added. PCU North Dakota is scheduled officially join the Navy fleet once commissioned in early 2014. The submarine measures 377 feet in length and has a beam of 34 feet. It will displace 7,800 tons and be capable of operating at more than 25 knots under water.

American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month Observance

CAPTURING HISTORY

Continued from Page 1

From Navy Office of Diversity and Inclusion Public Affairs

The Navy joins the nation in celebrating American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month, which will be observed Nov. 1 through Nov. 30. The 2013 national theme, Guiding Our Destiny with Heritage and Traditions, encourages the nation to reflect and celebrate the cultures, histories and traditions of the indigenous peoples of North America, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii. Today more than 12,000 Sailors and 1,500 civilians of Native American and Alaska Native heritage serve in the Navy. According to the U.S. Department of Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs, 565 federally recognized American Indian tribes and Alaska Natives reside in the United States, composed of nearly 4.5 million American Indians and Alaska Natives, or 1.5 percent of the nation's population. Despite the fact that American Indians did not become citizens until 1924, their legacy of military service dates back to the American Revolutionary War when George Washington began enlisting them for the Army, Navy and Marines. They have contributed their fighting spirit and warrior ethos to help U.S. military forces defend America's national interests. Both past and present, these members have made remarkable contributions to our Navy's legacy. In the twentieth century, three Sailors of American Indian heritage received the Medal of Honor, the United States' highest military honor, including Boatswain's Mate First Class James E. Williams. Williams, a Cherokee from South Carolina and one of the Navy's most highly decorated veterans, was awarded the Medal of Honor for actions while serving as Boat Captain and Patrols Officer aboard a River Patrol Boat during the Vietnam War. In 2004, the United States Navy honored him by naming one of the guided missile destroyers after him, USS James E. Williams (DDG 95). Native American Sailors served on Continental and state vessels during the War of Independence and have continued their proud service during every armed conflict since then, contributing to the lasting traditions and heritage of both the nation and the Navy. Recognized annually, Native American Heritage Month first began with the establishment of American Indian Day by the governor of New York in May 1916. Several additional states enacted celebrations during the fourth Friday in September, but the celebration did not gain official national recognition until President George H. W. Bush approved a joint resolution designating November 1990 as "National American Indian Heritage Month." Similar proclamations under different names, including "Native American Heritage Month" and "National American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month," have been issued each year since 1994. For more information about American Indians and Alaska Natives in the Navy from the Naval History and Heritage Command, visit http://www.history.navy.mil/special%20highlights/NativeAmerican/NativeAmerican-index.htm. A presentation on the contributions of American Indians to our military, as well as a Special Observance toolkit, is available online from the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute at http://www.deomi.org/SpecialObservance/.

All Hands Holiday Cover Competition From Defense Media Activity - Navy

All Hands Magazine Online is asking commands to begin immediately putting their creative talents to use to come up with a unique All Hands holiday cover. Covers should resemble the traditional printed covers and represent your command. Throughout the history of the magazine there have been more than 20 different holiday covers featuring Sailors and vessels serving in the fleet. So we are turning to the fleet to help us carry on this tradition. Different covers will be featured every week, (or more often depending on the amount of submissions.) We will continue to run the covers on the front page of All Hands online (www.ah.mil) for the entire month of December. Covers should not be religious in nature, feature inappropriate images, highlight unsafe activities, or portray your command in a negative manner. Commands interested in participating can email allhandsmagazine@dma.mil for examples and a high-resolution copy of the All Hands Logo that should be used on their cover. Examples of past issues of All Hands Magazines can also be found on the All Hands website under archives. High-resolution submissions should be sent to allhandsmagazine@dma.mil with the subject line Holiday Cover Submission. Submissions will be accepted starting Nov. 5. Submissions will not be accepted after Dec. 20.

the Oliver hazard Perry-class guided-missile frigate Uss thach (FFG 43) was decommissioned after more than 29 years of naval service during a ceremony on board naval Base san diego, nov. 1. the ship was named for naval aviator adm. John s. thatch, the developer of the "thach Weave" dogfighting tactic in World War II and former Commander, U.s. naval Forces europe from 1965-1967. he died in 1981 and the ship was commissioned into service March 17, 1984.

Guidelines vary by the type of deck on the ship. In the case of ships with wooden decks, if the veteran has a plank owner certificate or statement of service showing that he was on the ship when it was commissioned, the veteran can write to the NHHC Curator Branch, and request a piece of deck planking. If the veteran meets the above criteria and the Curator Branch has possession of deck planking, the plank owner or his widow can receive a small section of the deck. For more recent ships with metallic decks, the Navy is unable to issue deck sections. Many staff members of NHHC are well aware of the historic importance of a ship's objects and have a vested interest in assuring they are cared for properly. Two branches of NHHC are responsible for collecting and maintaining historic materials - the Operational Archives Branch, and the Curator Branch. The Archives Branch collects, organizes, preserves, studies and shares the Navy's historically significant records. The Curator Branch collects, cares for, studies and shares the Navy's material culture - the artifacts that exemplify the Navy's history. So what happens when a naval ship is decommissioned? What happens to the records and the artifacts? What happens to the history? "From a historical perspective, we want to preserve the legacy of our ships and submarines," said Evans. He says that though each staff member in those departments are trained in the handling and care of historic artifacts, preserving the Navy's history starts with crew members assigned to each vessel. The decommissioning of ships poses many concerns to NHHC. One of the main concerns is the loss of historical records of the unit through neglect. Another concern is Sailors not knowing what to do with historically significant materials that have been accumulated by the command over the years. "It's very important that while the Sailors are still on board, they save what they can," Evans continued. Also, by law, the ship's chris-

tening sponsor is permitted to receive a small memento from the ship. A small plaque bearing the ship's name or any similar item readily identified with the ship would be suitable. On commissioning, the sponsor usually presents a gift to the ship. Because of its dual association with the sponsor and the ship, such a gift becomes an important part of the ship's history. "The biggest challenge is ensuring that the history of a particular ship is captured and finding something unique pertaining to her history," said NHHC Museum Specialist Bill Hill. "It is important that ships send not only the required items, but, if possible, specific historical objects or other materials that relate to battles, missions, or operations in which they participated." One of the reasons it is so important for official records and historic artifacts of Navy commands to be maintained is to assure they are preserved for study and research by future Navy personnel, researchers, veterans, and the general public. The number of ships decommissioned each year varies and depends upon the needs of the U.S. Navy, but the procedure for retaining the historic records and artifacts remain the same. "Communication with the decommissioning ship begins many months in advance and both parties coordinate the objects to be sent," Hill explained. "It is then the responsibility of the ship to send the artifacts to NHHC. NHHC has more than 250,000

catalogued artifacts, which are maintained in an electronic database designed to capture all the pertinent information as it relates to each individual object." That information is incredibly important to historians, curators and museum visitors as they relate to how the Navy has helped shape the country. "The history of the Navy is the history of the United States," Hill said. "The variety of artifacts in the collection help illustrate to the everyday person the depth of sacrifice, the feeling of victory or loss in battle, the immensity and power of the machines and weapons. They tell of the trials and tribulations people just like them endured to reach the North Pole or to explore uncharted waters, to visit new countries and conclude agreements, to fight in the freezing winters in Korea or the steamy South Pacific, or in an ironclad gunboat on the Mississippi or in a wooden hulled warship in battle 100 yards from the enemy." He sees the artifacts as a touchstone between the present day and the past. "Artifacts allow people to touch and see a part of history and to imagine themselves in the same situations," Hill said. "How many of us pictured ourselves landing on the moon with Neil Armstrong, who incidentally was a naval aviator? The artifacts can help illustrate all these situations and bring with them the realization that all these sailors were or are no different than them."

September Athletes of the Month From the Naples High School Athletic Booster Club

Alicia “Jo” Nottrott, a freshman, has been named the Girls’ Tennis Athlete of the Month. A valuable addition to the tennis team this year, Nottrott has proven that she can push herself to improve while enjoying her time playing tennis. Her dedication and spirit were a winning combination that kept her focused on the game. Joining forces with sophomore Helena Zirkle, she brought her “A” game to all who challenged her. Alicia is a native of Mount Vernon, Ill. and the daughter of Neal and Brenda Nottrott.

Malachy Mroch, a sophomore, has been named the Boys’ Tennis Athlete of the Month. His younger brother Elijah and he make up one of the double teams, but Malachy is the calm and collected head of the duo. Despite his heavy homework load, he is often found continuing to master his serves and strokes outside of practice, and he’s an excellent sportsman both on and off the court. Soft-spoken, one knows to listen when Mroch does speak up. He is the son of Douglas and Bobbie Mroch and is from Eagle River, Alaska.

Josh Hensy, a senior, has been named Boys’ Volleyball Athlete of the Month. Riding on his momentum from last year, Hensy once again proved that he is a vital member of the boys volleyball team. Last summer, he attended a volleyball camp in Germany that was run by the U.S. National team’s coach. This experience clearly fired him up for this season. Hensy made six blocks and eight service calls, and hit a whopping twenty-eight kills. A proud New Yorker, he is the son of Melissa and Homer Hensy.

Bret Baldwin, a junior, has been named the Boys’ Cross Country Athlete of the Month. An active Tiger Shark swimmer and Wildcat cross country runner, Baldwin is a leader with an incredible work ethic. He’s posted some of the best cross country times in Italy, sprinting past Sigonella’s top runner to win the first meet of the season with a personal best time of 17:42. Following strongly, he managed to cross the finish line at 17:54 at Carney Park against AOSR Sept. 28.

Caroline Bracken, a senior, has been named the Girls’ Cross Country Athlete of the Month. In the first month of the season, Bracken emerged as the fastest girl on the team, in just her second year of cross country. She’s posted sub-21:00 times in every race that she’s participated in. Standout times include a 20:30 at Sigonella and a

new Carney Park course record of 20:10. She is set to be a valuable asset to Naples for this fall’s European Championships in Baumholder, Germany.

Amber Albano, a freshman, has been named the Girls’ Cheerleading Athlete of the Month. Albano is a member of NJROTC, the National Junior Honor Society, and ASC Soccer. With a GPA of 3.7, she is a well-rounded student athlete and a leader of the fall cheerleading team. She’s proven herself to excel at stunting, tumbling, dancing, and jumps, though showing her spirit is her first priority. Not only does she work at improving her own skills, but she pushes others to do their best, showing her dedication to helping her team reach their ultimate goal: to show their support for the Wildcats at home and abroad. She is the daughter of Dominick and Alison Albano and a native of Jacksonville, Fla.

Carina Cusumano, a senior, has been named Girls’ Volleyball Athlete of the Month. A Lady Wildcat of two years, Cusumano is a dominate force as a back row libero and one of the strongest passers on the team. Her defensive prowess has been vital to the girls’ success in this undefeated season. Her leadership skills on and off the court earned her nomination to this year’s homecoming court. Cusumano maintains a 3.64 GPA in addition to her athletic responsibilities. From Belleville, Ill., she is the daughter of Steve and Beth Cusumano.

Boys Volleyball Takes All-Conference Title By Peter Nagafuchi

The Naples High School boys volleyball team of twelve traveled to Aviano Friday for the 2013 Volleyball Tournament hoping to continue the season's undefeated 10-0 record, which earned the Wildcats the All-Conference Championship Title. Eight Mediterranean teams converged, six from Italy and two from Turkey. The Wildcats faced five teams on Friday and finished the day with three wins against Ankara (25-10, 25-8), Vicenza (2523, 19-25, 15-6), and Sigonella (25-15, 23-25, 15-6). The two losses came from defending champions AOSR (17-25, 25-27) and Incirlik (16-25, 20-25). Saturday brought two victories against host Aviano (25-12, 25-22) and Marymount(25-21, 25-12), which advanced the boys in a face off against Vicenza in the consolation match. The boys came away with the important win and the title. During the awards ceremony, three Naples seniors, Austin Bain, Josh Hensy, and captain Sam Murdock, were voted by the coaches to the All-Conference team of eight and also All-Tournament award distinction. Other players who demonstrated great skill and team work were juniors Mike Curtain, Marc Davis, Nico Davis, Kalen Murphy, Frank Perez, Daniel Smith, Willie Walden-Bryan, Jon Wheeler and sophomore DJ Langstraat.

Obtaining your Sojourner Permit Italian law requires all foreign personnel working or living within Italy, other than an active-duty member under military orders, to obtain a Sojourner Permit within eight days of arrival in Italy. This is different from a visa, which is merely an approval for entry into the country. All applicants over 14 years of age must apply in person, as each person's signature is required at the time of application. NATIONALS OF ANY STATE OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY COMING TO ITALY DO NOT REQUIRE ANY VISA OR SOJOURNER PERMIT. As part of the Area Orientation process, the U.S. Region Legal Service Office (RLSO EURAFSWA) assists in the preparation and oversees the acquisition of the Sojourner Permit for all personnel attached to U.S. Navy commands in the Naples area. Army and Air Force personnel stationed at JFC must apply through the Carabiniere at the JFC Provost Marshall's Office, Building L.

Lady Wildcats Win It All… Again

By Victoria Krause and Aundrea Hall

If you are the victim of a crime, report the incident to Security Dispatch at 081-568-5638.

The Naples High School Lady Wildcats travelled 20 hours by bus, which included picking up teams from Vicenza and Aviano, to Ramstein, Germany for the Europe Volleyball Championship Tournament. The team went into the tournament as the number 2 seed in their Division II pool behind newcomer Rota. From the first serve of the first set of the first game, the Wildcats announced they were there to play. Everything clicked for the team – serving, passing, setting, attacking. It all flowed from the Lady Wildcats better than it had all season. Thursday pool play saw the Lady Wildcats claw their way through competition from SHAPE, Division II newcomer Alconbury, Bahrain, and Hohenfels. At the end of the day the Wildcats were 40, but so were rivals Rota and American Overseas School of Rome (AOSR). AOSR was the only team to defeat the Wildcats during regular season play. Friday’s pool play opened with the much anticipated match between number 1 seed Rota and Naples. This was Rota’s first year in Division II, having won 2 consecutive Division III titles. Naples was playing to defend its 2 Division II titles. At the end of two

sets, Naples emerged victorious. The Lady Wildcats finished Friday’s pool play by defeating Aviano and Bitburg. With an undefeated record in pool play, Naples advance to the Division II semi-final game, where they were able to overcome a spirited Vicenza team in 3 sets with scores of 25-15; 25-21; and 25-10. AOSR defeated Rota in 4 sets to earn a spot in the championship game. Saturday dawned with the much anticipated rematch between Naples and AOSR. The Wildcats came out ready to play and jumped to an early 10 point lead in the first set. The AOSR Falcons clawed their way back into the match, but were unable to match the fierce play from Naples and lost the first match. The Lady Wildcats dominated the court, easily winning the second and third sets for the championship. The victory sealed their third tournament win in a row. The strong play of Naples, AOSR, and Vicenza firmly planted the standard for Division II Volleyball excellence south of the Alps.

The Naples Tiger Sharks and their 81 swimmers hosted their second home meet of the season, Oct. 27, against the Sigonella Swordfish at the Fit Zone pool on Capodichino. Naples came away with the win 509-143. Senior Vicki Krause had triple first place finishes. She placed first in the girls’ 15-16yr-old 200m individual medley, 50m freestyle and 100m backstroke. Junior Erin Dromerhauser also had triple first place finishes scoring 15 points for the team by placing first in the girls’ 17-19yr-old 200m individual medley, 100m backstroke and the 400m freestyle. “Erin had a super meet, she swam solid legs on both ‘A’ relays for her age division,” said coach Jane Higgins. “The coaches can always count on Erin to put forth great effort, never holding back at the meets, and continuously pushing herself in practice.” Jacob Levine, Sean Quirk, Alejandra Ruppe and Kyla Hallam also had triple first place finishes. Tiger Sharks placing first in two of their scored events included Ian Boggs, Kendall Ewing, McKenna

Gray, Brandon Oestereicher, Emily Patterson, Maura Patterson, Berkay Payal, Carly Sharp, Lindsey Sharp and Mijke Witkamp. Other swimmers with first place finishes were; Samantha Allen, Sydney Bidwell, Abigail Driskell, Robert Dromerhauser, Lorenzo Flores, Kieran Gyles, Seamus Gyles, Maria Celeste Kistler, Sophia Krause, Chris Levine, Ryan Link, Houlton McGuinn, Maxwell Milton, Sydney Milton, Luke Patterson, Paul Patterson, Caitlin Quirk, John Sherer, Ashley Snodgrass, Ryan Sword, Brian Thibodeau, Jordan Traucht, Leslie Traucht, Alyssa Yenco and Zane Zimmerman. Kistler also earned the title of the “biggest loser” for the females this meet. “This is Maria Celeste’s first season swimming competitively; she never skips a beat,” said Higgins. The team gained 3 points per second place finish. Swimmers who finished second in at least one of their events included Ingrid Bidwell, Lydia Boyum, Foster Deneke, Marissa Dye, Ryan Gray, Liam Gyles, Anika Mustard, Zachary Oestereicher, Maria Sherer, Nick Sherer, Andrew Smith, Brendan Smith, Lauren

Snodgrass, Isaac Stacks, Stephen Traucht, Harley Williams and Malena Yenco. Teegan Barnett, Ruby Canatsey, Andrew Carlos, Luke Johnson, Drake McGuinn, Sarah Oestereicher, Brendan Roberts, Connor Roberts, and Nathan Traucht also made it to the podium with third place finishes. Swimmers Dannah Lougen, Francis Carlos, James Moore, Amaya Fuentes, Lizzy Gregory, Jude Lynch, John Ruppe, Noah Sherer and Gennie Welch also competed. Josey Gregory, John Lynch, Catharine Roberts, Callie Van Dyke and Hunter Williams beat some of their best times during this meet. “This meet was huge for many of our swimmers as far as goals being met, especially in the 400, 800, and 1500 freestyle,” said Higgins. The meet also gave swimmers the chance to compete in long distance events, which were run after the standard meet. “What was so impressive was watching these swimmers giving it their all during the regular meet, then turning around and reaching deep within to compete at long distance,” said Dave Snodgrass, president of the Tiger Sharks swim team. “Their stamina, their will to finish, what a great group of children.” “Forty swimmers swam a long distance event and all forty finished, well below their seed time, with 34 qualifying for Long Distance Champs in Antwerp, Belgium next month. This is the most Naples has ever had qualify for the long distance meet,” said Higgins. John Sherer also earned the award of “biggest loser” for the males, losing a total of 19.83 seconds. “John is a disciplined athlete,” said Higgins. “For John, its dive in, swim, do your best and get out, there’s no messing around.” The next challenge for the Naples Tiger Sharks will be competing against six other teams at Aviano, Nov. 9, and Vicenza, Nov. 10.
