Naples Tiger Sharks Spring Training

By Solange Markvart

The Naples Tiger Sharks swim team hosted a spring training session that began on March 10th with a brief one week intermission for spring break. Approximately 50 swimmers participated in this program that ended May 17.

Head Coach Chris Roll was joined by a few new faces, including assistant coaches Chris Goetz and Paul Barrie, to coach rookie and veteran swimmers alike.

Being conducted off competitive season, the training sessions were kept low in intensity and focused

on proper form and technique, especially for those swimmers who were being introduced to the team and its discipline, as well as its training philosophy.

“For the spring season, the goal was to bring a few new swimmers and change the mindset from just going fast to let’s perfect the strokes to go faster,” Roll said. We worked on taking our newest swimmers as well as our veteran swimmers and breaking each stroke down to the basic mechanics to make our team better and more rounded.”

mployment challenges for overseas spouses are now being tackled by the service secretaries.

In a recent article published on Navy.mil, it was announced that the three service secretaries signed a memorandum to explore how to best enable spouses to find employment and maintain careers while at overseas bases. The investigating team will make recommendations to policies, programs and laws that would make employment for spouses overseas easier. An update to the service secretaries is expected by September 2019, with closing findings and recommendations completed by December 2019. For more information on the tri-service team and the memorandums released on important changes, such as re-licensure cost reimbursement for spouses, visit Navy.mil.

Speaking of employment challenges, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has commenced the Federal Employee Viewpoint (FEV) Survey.

All civilian appropriated funds (APF) employees were sent an email invitation from OPM on May 13. The FEV Survey gives APF employees the opportunity to share opinions on job satisfaction, employee engagement, diversity, and inclusion.

This is a chance to communicate how you feel about your job, and how leadership can improve your working environment. Follow-up emails will be sent until employees complete the survey, which closes on June 24. All survey responses will remain anonymous and confidential.

Finally, as May comes to a close, we culminate Military Appreciation Month with Memorial Day. This federal holiday commemorates those who have died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. As we head into the long weekend, please be sure to keep yourselves and your families safe. As the Secretary of the Navy said in his 2019 Summer Safety message, we lost 21 of our fellow warriors last year between Memorial Day and Labor Day due to preventable mishaps. Please remain aware of your surroundings and mitigate risk as you enjoy this time with your family and friends.

Additionally, remember that we are guests in this nation. Please respect our hosts by obeying all traffic laws, speed limits, and remaining vigilant while driving through residential areas. I look forward to seeing all of you safely back at work on Tuesday.

As always, thanks for reading the Panorama!

HISTORY: USS SQUALUS SAILORS RESCUED From Navy History and Heritage Command

On May 24, 1939, 33 Sailors from the submarine USS Squalus (SS 192) were rescued after their boat sank off the coast of New Hampshire the day before.

Squalus, named for a family of sharks, was a Sargo-class pre-war diesel-electric submarine, was built at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine, and commissioned on March 1, 1939. The 310-foot boat displaced 2,350 tons when submerged and was armed with eight 21-inch torpedo tubes, a 3-inch deck gun, and two .50caliber machine guns.

Squalus was designed to travel at a speed of eight knots when submerged.

Lt. Oliver F. Naquin, the boat’s captain, took Squalus to sea for trials, including dives, off the Isle of Shoals starting on May 12, 1939. After 18 eventless dives, Squalus made a test dive on the morning of May 23 with 56 sailors and three civilians inside her steel hull.

Moments after the submarine went underwater, its main engine air induction valve failed and water poured into the boat’s aft engine room. The submarine sank stern first to the bottom, coming to rest keel down in 60 fathoms, or 240 feet.

A traumatic flooding of the aft section of the Squalus quickly claimed the lives of 24 Sailors

and two civilians. That left thirty-two crewmembers and one civilian struggling for life in the forward compartments. To signal their distress, they sent up a marker buoy equipped with a telephone cable, and released red smoke bombs to the surface.

After sighting the marker buoy, the Sculpin’s commander managed to speak with Naquin and confirm that there were survivors, even discussing rescue options before the communications cable parted. Now cut off from the world above, Squalus’ survivors spent a cold night trapped inside their submarine, beginning to suffer ill effects from chlorine gas leaking from the battery compartment.

The following morning, the rescue ship USS Falcon (ASR 2) arrived and began lowering the new Momsen-McCann rescue chamber – a modified diving bell invented by Cmdr.

Charles B. Momsen and improved by Lt. Cmdr.

Allan Rockwell McCann.

The device, manned by courageous deep-sea divers, made it possible to reach the crew.

In three trips, the rescue chamber brought 26 men to the surface.

After serious difficulty with tangled cables, the fourth trip finally rescued the last seven survivors in the dark hours before midnight on May 24, 39 hours after the sinking.

Divers made a fifth, especially dangerous descent to confirm that there were no survivors in the aft torpedo room compartment.

A Herculean effort brought Squalus to the surface weeks later. The Navy raised the submarine and towed it to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard on September 13, 1939. Following an investigation of the engine room compartments, the boat was formally decommissioned on November 15, 1939.

Four of the Navy divers

received the Medal of Honor for their heroic actions to rescue the trapped men: William Badders, Orson L. Crandall, James H. McDonald, and John Mihalowski – for their part in the rescue of Squalus’s crew.

The submarine was recommissioned in 1940 and was renamed Sailfish. With her new name, she was in port at Cavite Navy Yard in the Philippines when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.

Fighting from the very first day of the war,

Sailfish completed a dozen war patrols and sank more than 45,000 tons of enemy shipping.

Sailfish received nine battle stars for her service in the Pacific and also the Presidential Unit Citation for outstanding performance on her 10th patrol.

Sailfish was decommissioned October 27, 1945, at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. A year later Sailfish’s conning tower was dedicated as a war memorial at the shipyard November 11, 1946, during Armistice Day.

Use the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website – www.cdc.gov/travel – for traveler’s health information, or download the CDC-sponsored TravWell app. Choose your destination to discover suggested traveler’s health information. Both resources provide valuable travel health information such as vaccine suggestions, disease precautions, and post-trip medical advice.

Travelers seeking immunizations only may go directly to the Medical Home Port Immunizations Clinic at Support Site. Immunization Clinic hours are: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 8 a.m. to noon and 1 to 3:30 p.m.; and Tuesdays from 8 a.m. to noon.

For additional health concerns, feel free to consult your primary care manager via TRICARE Online Secure Messaging or visit the Travel Medicine Clinic which is available Wednesdays 8 a.m. to noon and 1 to 3:30 p.m. at the Support Site Hospital. For details call DSN 629-6000.

Starting at the end of May, Naval Support Activity Naples will undergo a large-scale construction project designed to increase our energy efficiency.

The project, which is scheduled to take two years to complete, is estimated to save the base more than $40 million in utility costs over the course of its lifetime.

Known as the Energy Savings Performance Contract or ESPC, the project has five main components: 1 - Upgrade / replace the existing Energy Management Control System that regulates temperatures in affected buildings.

2 - Replace all interior lighting to LED fixtures, including occupancy and dimming sensors.

3 - Install a new Tri-Generation plant which will produce electricity for Capodichino as well as hot and cold water for the Admin complex and C4I. 4 - Replace all faucets with new automatic low-flow water fixtures.

5 - Improve the data center cooling system in C4I. This construction contract has been awarded in a unique way – the contracting firm is responsible for all upfront construction costs. Then, on an annual basis over 20 years, the U.S. Navy will reimburse the contractor if, and only if, the expected utility savings are greater than the scheduled payment.

PWD Naples is administering the construction project.

But please be aware that a project of this magnitude will come with some temporary inconveniences to base personnel. The grass space closest to the East Parking Garage will be a storage area and main work area for the project, and you will observe greater than usual truck traffic on base.

While the process of upgrading light fixtures and water fixtures is underway, building tenants will be notified prior to the SIEMENS contractor staff arriving to perform the installation. The inconvenience for this evolution should be fairly minimal, but we ask for your flexibility in making this happen.

Once the construction of the Tri-Gen Plant is completed, the East Parking Garage area will look much different than today, as the plant will be constructed in the grassy area adjacent to the fuel pumps and water treatment plant.

As always, the patience and understanding of Capodichino tenants is greatly appreciated. There have been many construction projects on the our base in the past to upgrade our facilities and infrastructure and your cooperation with this one will go a long way toward making NSA Naples even more energy resilient and efficient than it already is.

For more information about the Energy Savings Performance Contract call Gennaro Gargiulo or Electrician 2nd Class Marvin J. Hernandez at DSN 626-1895 or Comm. 081-568-1865.

NATO Maritime Command Changes Leadership From Allied Maritime Command Public Affairs

Allied Maritime Command (MARCOM) conducted a change of command ceremony May 20 at Northwood Headquarters in the United Kingdom to mark the change of senior leadership at the command.

General Tod D. Wolters, NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe, presided over the ceremony as Vice Admiral Keith E. Blount, CB OBE FRAeS assumed Command of Allied Maritime Command from Vice Admiral Sir Clive Johnstone, KBE CE who led NATO’s only standing Maritime Component Command since October 2015.

Vice Admiral Johnstone reflected on his time at MARCOM, noting, "We’ve changed the very heart of NATO. At MARCOM and right across the maritime enterprise, we now focus on operations.” Continuing on,

he highlighted that working together, Allied navies produce an incredible force of ships, submarines and aircraft on active tasks for NATO, providing a present and capable force for the defense of all Alliance members.

During Vice Admiral Johnstone’s tenure, MARCOM, through collaboration with Allied Navies, and by building a network of maritime stakeholders, led operations and exercises across the region that have both demonstrated and sharpened the credible capability of NATO and its Allied Navies.

The diverse staff of MARCOM, in concert with the maritime network, helps NATO to anticipate issues and work to address them.

As part of the NATO Command Structure Adaptation, MARCOM is being augmented, reorganized and empowered to lead robust maritime operations theatre-wide, The new MARCOM is always NATO’s Maritime Theatre

Over the last three years, MARCOM has driven the reform of Standing Naval Force deployments, increasing flexibility and adaptability in ship schedules to meet the emerging and

often short-notice requirements of NATO and Nations.

Vice Admiral Blount is assuming command at a transformative time for MARCOM and NATO and will lead MARCOM as it takes on full operational capability as NATO’s Maritime Theater Component Commander.

Spring training was also an efficient way to determine each new swimmer’s abilities and whether he/she would be not only ready for competitive season, but also for the rigorous demands of training to achieve European Forces Swim League (EFSL) standards. Swim team participants were appreciative of the training’s more relaxed atmosphere and welcomed the opportunity to make new friends and perfect their stroke techniques.

With a successful spring training session behind them, the Naples Tiger Sharks are already gearing up for the next season. Registration for the summer swim program, began this past Monday and will run through July 20th. The summer swim program begins July 8th as the Naples Tiger Sharks prepare for their first meet of the competitive season on September 14th against the Sigonella Swordfish and the Lakenheath Barracudas.

The Summer Swim program will unfold over seven weeks between the Support Site pool and Capodichino pool, with a break the week of the 12th of August for a special swim camp highlighted with coaching by USA Olympic Swimmer, Swim Coach and Motivational Speaker Josh Davis.

This will be the second year in a row that Josh Davis will meet with the Naples Tiger Sharks to share his experience and words of wisdom with the team members and coaching staff.

The Naples Tiger Sharks are currently recruiting swimmers of all ages for the 2019-2020 competitive season to help us win our fourteenth consecutive title as EFSL Southern Division Champions.

FORMIDABLE SHIELD 2019 CONCLUDES Page 1

and commander, Naval Striking and Support Forces NATO, said.

“Through our collaborative efforts in missile defense training, preparation, and execution, we remain ready to collectively defend Europe and our interests throughout the region.”

Ships from Canada, Denmark, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States participated in more than a dozen successful live-fire and simulated engagements against subsonic, supersonic, and ballistic targets.

“Improving interoperability between our NATO allies and partners in an IAMD environment is a top priority for the U.S. Department of Defense,” Lt. Gen. Samuel A. Greaves, director of the U.S. Missile Defense Agency, said. “The Missile Defense Agency was proud to support the U.S. Navy's 6th Fleet and our NATO partner nations in the successful execution of Formidable Shield 2019.”

As commander of Combined Task GroupIntegrated Air and Missile Defense (CTG-IAMD), U.S. Navy Capt.

Shanti Sethi directed the force using NATO command-andcontrol reporting structures, aided by a multinational staff, from the Danish flagship, HDMS Absalon (L 16).

“Formidable Shield allowed us to train together as a multinational force to provide capable, credible deterrence against aggression,” Sethi said.

“There is no substitute for actually operating together to integrate our defenses against real targets in the air and space.”

Among the national ‘firsts’ completed during the exercise included the first engagement of a supersonic target by an Aster-15 air

defense missile, which was fired from the French frigate Bretagne (D 655), and the Royal Canadian Navy’s successful engagement of a supersonic target with an Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile.

Guided-missile destroyer USS Carney (DDG 64) conducted simultaneous defensive scenarios by utilizing a Standard Missile (SM)-2 engagement while tracking space and atmospheric targets. During a different event, guidedmissile destroyer USS Roosevelt (DDG 80) conducted a SM-3 engagement with a simulated ballistic missile target while concurrently engaging Hebrides Range-launched ‘Firejet’ targets with SM-2 missiles.

This demonstrated the capability of the newest Aegis Baseline in a full IAMD scenario.

NATO’s Ballistic Missile Defence Operations Centre at the Alliance’s Air Command in Ramstein, Germany, provided command and control during engagements, while patrol aircraft and NATO AWACS surveillance aircraft provided aerial over-watch and ensured that the airspace is clear.

U.S. Air Force F-16

Fighting Falcons from the 480th Fighter Squadron in Spangdahlem, Germany, were designated as “opposition forces” and fired supersonic AQM-37D aerial targets during several exercise scenarios.

In total, 13 ships, more than 10 aircraft, and approximately 3,300 personnel from Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States, participated in Formidable Shield 2019.

This biennial exercise series is next scheduled to commence in 2021.

STRIKFORNATO is a rapidly deployable headquarters that provides scalable command and control across the full spectrum of the alliance’s fundamental security tasks.

As part of that mission, STRIKFORNATO is responsible for integrating U.S. naval and amphibious forces into NATO operations.

Origins of Memorial Day From NSA Public Affairs

Each Memorial Day, on the last Monday of May, the nation honors those Americans who died while defending our nation and its values.

More than two dozen cities and towns claim to be the birthplace of Memorial Day. In May 1966 President Lyndon Johnson settled that argument by declaring Waterloo, N.Y., as the official birthplace of Memorial Day. Regardless of the exact date or location of its origins, one thing is clear – Memorial Day was born out of the Civil War and a desire to honor the fallen Soldiers from both sides of the war.

It was officially proclaimed a holiday on May 5, 1868, by Gen. John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, in his General Order No. 11. “The 30th of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village and hamlet churchyard in the land,” he wrote.

That date, which was originally referred to as Decoration Day, was chosen because it wasn’t the anniversary of any

particular battle, and because it was thought that flowers would be in bloom all over the country.

The first state to officially recognize the holiday was New York in 1873. By 1890 it was recognized by all of the northern states.

The South refused to acknowledge that day, honoring their dead on separate days until after World War I, when the holiday changed from honoring just those who died fighting in the Civil War to honor all Americans who died fighting in any war.

When Congress passed the Monday Holiday Law in 1968, the observance of Memorial Day was changed from May 30 to the last Monday in May. To ensure the sacrifices of America’s fallen heroes are never forgotten, President Bill Clinton signed “The National Moment of Remembrance Act” in December 2000, which designates at 3 p.m. local time on Memorial Day as the National Moment of Remembrance, in honor of the men and women of the United States who died in the pursuit of freedom and peace.

The National Moment of Remembrance encourages all Americans to pause wherever they are at 3 p.m. local time on Memorial Day for a minute of silence to remember and honor those who have died in service to the nation.
