CSG-8 Change of Command Farewell Rear Adm. Daryl L. Caudle; Welcome Rear Adm. Thomas E. Ishee

Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson

CNO: How Can U.S. Navy Prevail in Contest for Maritime Supremacy?

The U.S. Navy has enjoyed uncontested global maritime supremacy for the past 25 years, said Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Adm. John Richardson at the Naval Future Force Science and Technology Expo, held July 20-21 in Washington, D.C. Unfortunately, the CNO said, those days are over.

American naval forces now face a new era of competition from rising and resurgent naval powers-citing recent examples such as a bilateral exercise in the Baltic Sea involving the Russian and Chinese navies, and a Chinese live-fire exercise in the Mediterranean Sea. “Take the example of a large, dominant company that becomes complacent as it gets bigger,” Richardson said. “That makes you vulnerable to disruption. How can we avoid that fate? How can we restore our agility and competitive edge to maintain superiority?”

The answer, Richardson said, lies in three key components, each of which expands current naval strength and readiness: ● More ships: “By increasing the number of naval platforms, you increase naval power.”

Rear Adm. Daryl L. Caudle was relieved

by Rear Adm. Thomas E. Ishee, while Commander, U.S. Naval Forces EuropeAfrica, Adm. Michelle J. Howard, presided

over the ceremony and delivered remarks about Caudle’s time as commander, CSG-8.

“Daryl’s accomplishments here in Naples have been quite extraordinary,” Howard said. “He was responsible for leading the planning efforts for strikes in support of Operation Inherent Resolve from three different carriers. He also led the planning for Operation Odyssey Lightning from the USS Wasp Amphibious Readiness Group.”

Howard continued to highlight more of

Caudle’s accomplishments, finishing with what she called “best for last.”

“There were a number of firsts related to under the seas,” Howard said. “Under Daryl’s watch, the first NATO theater [anti-submarine warfare] conference was held right here in Naples. Its purpose was to increase the alliance’s connectivity and interoperability with existing individual national theater ASW structures.

CAPTAIN’S CORNER

By Capt. Doug Carpenter NSA Naples Commanding Officer

August is knocking at the door and that means a new school year is sneaking up on us. If you’re new to the area or if this is the first time your children will be attending school in Naples, don’t hesitate to ask for help getting prepared; especially with supplies. Please mark your calendars for the “Back to School Block Party” happening at the Support Site in front of the DODEA school on August 25th. MWR and DODEA partner for this event, bringing together just about every organization on base and publishing the anxiously awaited homeroom lists! It’s a great festival, and this year also brings a carnival ride.

Speaking of school, several projects are ongoing at the elementary, middle and high school that will be completed prior to the first day of school. Two more HVAC units will be replaced, all ductwork in the school buildings have been cleaned out, and many classrooms are being re-painted and re-carpeted. Additionally, we are planning some much needed work on the football field and track. The track will be resurfaced and the football field will be stripped, new topsoil and irrigation will be laid down, and the grass will be re-seeded. These projects could begin as early as the fall semester, so please stay tuned for updates and details.

With August also arrives Ferragosto; an Italian Catholic holiday on August 15th celebrating the Assumption of Mary. You can expect heavy beach traffic and many shops and restaurants will be closed across Italy during the last half of August since many Italians take summer vacations during this time.

Finally, my tour here at NSA Naples is ending and the Change of Command Ceremony will take place next Thursday, August 3rd at 9:30 a.m. on the Capo spine. Of course this means this is my last Pano column, and for those who read this column weekly – Thank You! Jen, Kaden, and I have really enjoyed our time in Italy and have come to know and love this community. I’ve found that we are strongest when we support each other, working, living, and thriving together in partnership as Americans and Italians.

I’ve seen the scope and importance of our mission here increase tremendously, and that is due to the remarkable dedication and professionalism of everyone stationed at NSA Naples – BRAVO ZULU! So, for my last time. Please enjoy the weekend and stay safe. Fair winds and following seas to you all!

ITALIAN NEWS BRIEFS COMPILED BY TERESA MEROLA NSA NAPLES PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Rome Announces Tourist Behavior Initiative to Protect Historic Fountains Local authorities in Rome announced an initiative that will enforce behavior codes for tourists at famous Trevi Fountain.

Former volunteer police and traffic police will patrol the path from 9 a.m. to midnight through mid-October. They are asking people not to eat or sit on the monument. The mayor signed an order last month to help protect the Trevi Fountain, along with 40 other historic fountains in the city of Rome. The initiative includes prescribing stiff fines ranging from 40 to 240 euros ($47 to $280). The city administration wanted to introduce a controlled-access mechanism around the fountain, as it can become chaotic with big crowds gathering to admire it or to take photos. Several Italian cities are struggling to cope with mass tourism, especially in the summer. In Florence, the mayor recently decided to hose down pavements and steps of famous churches with water, to stop tourists from camping out on them.

Wildfires, Drought Severely Affecting Italy, Vatican City In Italy, the long period of intense heat and lack of rain, and wildfires across the country over the past month caused 2 billion euro (2.3 billion dollars) worth of damage to Italian agriculture, according to the farmers’ association, Coldiretti.

Italy had experienced one of its driest times in about 60 years and some parts of the country had 80 percent rainfall below normal. Italy has missed out on about a month’s worth of rainfall, leaving lakes and reservoirs severely depleted. The long period of drought has badly hit crops, livestock farmers, wine grapes and olives throughout much of Italy. At least 10 Italian regions are seeking natural disaster status to the agriculture ministry because of the drought and fires. The city of Rome is considering the possibility of rationing

water supplies for up to eight hours a day because of a ban on drawing water from drought-hit Lake Bracciano, the major water supply source for Rome, which is about 40 km from the capital. Vatican City has switched off all its fountains, including two Baroque masterpieces in St. Peter’s Square and those located in the Vatican gardens. In late June, Rome’s public drinking fountains were switched off as a result of the prolonged drought.

Except for those living at the Support Site and Capodichino, bottled water is recommended.

Treated water is provided free of charge at a dispenser located outside the Capodichino east parking garage.

THE INSIDE PAGE Volunteers Needed USO Naples is looking for outgoing and enthusiastic volunteers to join their committee to make a difference in the community through special events and outreach. If interested, email USO Naples and Rome Director, Sabrina Pullido at spullido@uso.org.

More than 50 percent of Italians will go to the seaside while one in three; others will spend their holidays on a mountain. Six percent of Italian will visit arts cities with their pets while 3 percent will take them to a lake.

Many of those interviewed, about 60 percent of them said they would change their destination if pet-friendly facilities were not available.

HISTORY: PRESIDENT TRUMAN’S CIVIL RIGHTS FIGHT From DoD News

of the civil rights crusade that officially launched on December 5, 1946, when he issued an executive order for the nation’s first civil rights commission, Gardner said. “[Truman] went on to exert his moral leadership in order to achieve two fantastic executive orders to make our federal work force colorblind and to create opportunities of equality for every American in the Armed Forces,” Ken Hechler, a special assistant for Truman during his administration, said.

The next summer, Truman again broke political ground when he spoke at the final conference session of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in June 1947.

“As Americans, we believe that every man should be free to live his life as he wishes,” Truman said, reflecting on lessons he had learned on the battlefield about honor and respect – regardless of creed or color. “He should be limited only by his responsibility to his fellow countrymen. If this freedom is to be more than a dream, each man must be guaranteed equality of opportunity. The only limit to an American’s achievement should be his ability, his industry, and his character. These rewards for his effort should be determined only by those truly relevant qualities.”

“It was my honor to serve for four years on Harry Truman’s personal White House staff,” Hechler said.

“Although he was brought up as a racist, he became a great champion of civil rights.”

“With less than 10 percent of Americans agreeing with civil rights, Truman was the type of president who refused to falter when he thought public opinion was wrong,” Hechler said.

“Truman always used to mention eight words from Thomas Jefferson,” he said. “Equal rights for all, special privileges for none.”

David S.C. Chu, former the defense undersecretary for personnel and readiness, credits Truman’s 1948 executive order that integrated the military with laying crucial groundwork for the eventual success of the all-volunteer force.

In addition to providing a broad talent base, diversity ensures that the military looks like the American population it defends, Chu said. That, in turn, helps build public confidence and trust in the institution.

“Ultimately, Truman’s executive order “provided the foundation for the U.S. military to become one of the United States’ most racially integrated institutions,” Chu said. “What Truman really did was use the Armed Forces to change American society.”

On July 26, 1948, President Harry S. Truman signed Executive Order 9981, which officially ended racial segregation and discrimination in the military. Although it would take more than six years to fully implement, Truman’s order set in motion a wave of reforms for equality for racial minorities not only in the military, but in the federal workforce and public education, as well.

Truman was a student of history and he recognized that Black Soldiers had fought in every major U.S. war, including the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Civil War, the Spanish-American War and both World Wars.

White House historian Michael R. Gardner said Truman was an unlikely president to integrate the U.S. military.

Truman was born into a racist Missouri family; his grandparents owned slaves. He never went to college, and he grew up in a community where the use of racial epithets was commonplace. Truman was conditioned to be racist, Gardner added.

Truman went to France to fight in World War I as an Army captain in 1918. During the last four months of the war, he witnessed brutal fighting, but also saw extraordinary bravery and sacrifice by American Soldiers. Truman discovered he was a natural leader of men and developed a deep, life-long devotion to the military.

On April 12, 1945, upon the death of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, then-Vice President Truman became the 33rd president.

With the war’s end, a tidal wave of 12 million American veterans returned home, 880,000 of whom were African-American. The return of these black veterans re-energized the Ku Klux Klan, and in many communities across America, the Klan was ready to greet the returning troops.

Little national attention was focused on this growing racial discord. In fact, 30 of the 48 states enforced some form of segregation, Gardner said.

On September 19, 1946, Truman met with civil rights officials who told him about an honorably discharged black sergeant arrested in Aiken, South Carolina, for disorderly conduct. During the course of Isaac Woodard’s overnight incarceration, the 27-year old decorated veteran was so savagely beaten that one of his eyes was gouged out and he was blinded in the other eye.

The state refused to prosecute the 215-pound white policeman who blinded Woodard. The president ordered his attorney general to step in, and the sheriff was indicted and tried in South Carolina federal court, only to go free Above: On July 26, 1948, President Harry S. Truman signed Executive Order after an all-white jury deliberated for 30 minutes.

SPOTLIGHT: HOSPITALMAN JAYDEN HERMAN

Hospitalman Jayden Herman hails from Fallbrook, California, a small town in Northern San Diego County near Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton. Herman joined the Navy in 2015 after graduating from Fallbrook High School. After completing recruit training at Naval Station (NAVSTA) Great Lakes, then moved on Hospital Corpsman “A” School at San Antonio, Texas. Following his graduation from Corps School, Herman received follow-on orders to U.S. Naval Hospital (USNH) Naples, Italy, for his first assignment with the Navy.

He is currently assigned to the Multi-Service Ward at USNH Naples where he provides exceptional inpatient healthcare to our multi-national beneficiaries.

Coming from a military family, Herman naturally enlisted in the armed services. He chose to become a Hospital Corpsman as a stepping stone to serving with the Fleet Marine Force, as he says, to experience that enduring bond that exists between Hospital Corpsmen and U.S. Marines, to keep warfighters in the fight.

In addition to serving with a Marine Corps Unit someday, Herman says his other long-term goals are to attend the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland (near Washington, D.C.), where he hopes to become a naval officer and eventually pursue a career as a physician.

Adm. Howard Discusses NATO Strategic Direction South Hub with Ambassadors From JFC NATO Public Affairs

Adm. Michelle Howard, commander Allied Joint Force Command Naples discussed the soon-to-be-established NATO Strategic Direction South Hub in an informal briefing with ambassadors from multiple NATO Allies today, after a courtesy call with Chargé d' Affaires ad interim Kelly Degnan at U.S. Embassy facilities in Rome.

NATO’s Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg announced the decision to create the Hub at JFC Naples on February 15, 2017. This was followed by a formal directive from the Commander of the Supreme Allied Command Europe to “establish a Hub, within the NATO Command Structure, that collects, collates, analyses and disseminates information in order to contribute to NATO comprehensive understanding, situational awareness, decision making and information sharing for the South during peacetime, crisis and conflict.”

Since then, JFC Naples has been further defining the Hub’s mission, roles, responsibilities and resources. JFC Naples will declare the Hub at initial capability in September, and full capability near the start of 2018.The geographic focal areas of NATO Strategic Direction South include North Africa, the Sahel and the Middle East.

“Our goal with the Hub is to provide NATO a central point to collect and share information, better understand the environment and be as predictive as we can to best inform decisions,” Howard said. “We are working to connect a variety of entities, to include nongovernmental organizations and academia.”

“Of note, the Hub will not have any command and control authorities,” Howard added. “It will be an information gathering and analytical cell. In addition to these activities, the Hub will also help to synchro-

nize allied efforts across the region; optimizing the scarce training and advising resources of the alliance.”

In her dialogue with the ambassadors, Howard addressed the Hub’s functional areas: ● Function 1 – Contribution to information collection, management and sharing ● Function 2 – Contribution to understanding, monitoring and assessment ● Function 3 – Contribute to coordination of NATO’s activity in the South ● Function 4 – Contribute to implementation/assessment of the Framework for the South The Hub will focus initially on five countries – Libya, Syria, Iraq, Tunisia and Jordan.

“There are many institutions already assessing the challenges to NATO’s southern flank,” Howard said. “Our goal is to fuse the best information into useful knowledge in order for NATO and partner organizations to collaborate and better address those challenges.”

Howard said the Hub fits into NATO’s overarching mission through Article 2 of the Washington Treaty, which states, “The Parties will contribute toward the further development of peaceful and friendly international relations by strengthening their free institutions, by bringing about a better understanding of the principles upon which these institutions are founded, and by promoting conditions of stability and well being …”

Howard also serves as commander, U.S. Naval Forces Europe and commander, U.S. Naval Forces Africa.

More information about the NATO Strategic Direction South Hub along with its initial and full operating capability milestones will be available in coming weeks. For more information about the Allied Joint Force Command visit www.jfcnp.nato.int

ENERGY CONSERVATION It’s Too Hot; It’s Too Cold From NSA Naples Energy Management Team

Anybody who has performed energy surveys in work spaces has heard these cries for help. Due to differences in human metabolism, sometimes people who sit right next to each other have the opposite complaint. Another interesting human variable: some people want to turn the heat up to 22o C (about 72o F) in the winter and turn the air conditioning down to 20o C (about 68o F) in the summer. That just doesn’t make sense!

The Navy has energy efficiency standards that apply to space temperatures: Cool to no lower than 26o C (about 79o F), and heat to no higher than 20 or 21o C (about 68 or 70o F). Since these are average temperature targets, different rooms might have different temperatures, especially in older buildings with large areas and few thermostats. Navy standards also exist for after hours, to adjust temperature set points to provide less heat in the winter and less cooling in the summer when the building is unoccupied.

It seems like opening windows should help if you’re too warm, but it wastes energy when the heat or air conditioning is running. Your open window can confuse a thermostat that controls the heat supply to spaces that aren’t benefiting from your outside air, and make it difficult to pinpoint the source of their temperature complaints (you).

The best things you can do if you are too warm or too cold are 1) dress in layers and 2) let your supervisor and facility energy monitor know about your issues. Your building’s climate control system may be in need of some attention, especially when everyone has the same complaint. If you tend to be cold, and sit in a colder area of the building, you might ask your supervisor if you can move to a location that’s a better fit for your metabolism, or bring a sweater with you to work.

“Man of Steel. This movie left me with a lot of unanswered questions, so I think they need to make another one.”

“Diary of a Wimpy Kid would be a movie I would like to see a sequel to because it’s funny.”

“A sequel that I would like to see made would be Casablanca because I want to see Rick and Louis when they joined the resistance during World War II.”

“I would like to see Marvels Civil War made into a sequel because I want to see Iron Man and Captain America fight more.”

Navy Announces NEC Code Overhaul and Updated Enlisted Rating Communities and Career Fields From Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs

The Navy announced July 13, in NAVADMIN 174/17 that as part of its Sailor 2025 efforts, the service will implement a new Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC) code construct this October and also realign enlisted rating communities and career fields.

“These efforts are about warfighting readiness and are absolutely critical to the development and implementation of the Navy’s Ready Relevant Learning (RRL) and rating modernization initiatives,” Chief of Naval Personnel Vice Adm. Robert Burke said. “Not only will these changes improve our personnel and billet management processes to assign the right individual to the right job, but it will ultimately provide us the ability to train and repurpose elements of our force to meet a rapidly changing world.”

Beginning in October 2017, NEC codes will have four alpha-numeric characters and be organized into 12 communities and 23 career fields as part of the new construct.

These revised communities and ca-

reer fields, which can be viewed at www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/reference/nec/pages/default.aspx, were developed within the rating modernization working group and will replace the current occupational fields and associated ratings listed in the Navy Enlisted Occupational Standards Manual (NAVPERS 18068F, Volume I).

As new NEC codes are developed, they will be created using this new construct.

The new career fields and communities will not only aid the rating modernization effort, but they also more directly translate to civilian occupations and will help facilitate licensing and credentialing efforts.

Going forward, the first digit of the new NEC code will be based on a Sailor’s community and identify the individual’s respective career field. The second and third digits will be unique alpha-numeric identifiers developed by the Navy Manpower Analysis Center.

The fourth digit will represent how many blocks of training remain for a Sailor, or if the NEC code is not yet part of blocked training.

For example, the current NEC code for a Logistics Specialist Postal Basic (NEC 2800) would become S000 under the new construct.

- 1st Digit: S (supply career field) - 2nd Digit: 0 (part of unique identifier assigned by NAVMAC) - 3rd Digit: 0 (part of unique identifier assigned by NAVMAC) - 4th Digit: 0 (all blocks complete) 1 (1 block remaining) 2 (2 blocks remaining) 3 (3 blocks remaining) 4 (4 blocks remaining) Letters A-Z (NEC code is not associated with blocked training).

Another aspect of the revised NEC construct currently being developed is a two digit suffix to the NEC code which will contain additional information about a Sailor’s skillset. This is intended to better capture a Sailor’s proficiency, experience and currency, which is a fundamental element of the Navy’s rating modernization efforts.

Quarterly updates, released in NAVPERS 18068F, VOLUME II Navy Enlisted Classifications, will identify the Navy’s 1,400 NEC codes that have

completed their conversion to the revised construct.

No action is required on a Sailor’s part - these changes will occur automatically.

NEC codes are used to track skills and training, distribute Sailors to appropriate billets, and ensure operational units have Sailors with the necessary skills to carry out their missions.

RRL is a Sailor 2025 initiative focused on providing the right training at the right time in a way that Sailors will retain. Block Learning, an important part of RRL, will divide enlisted Sailors’ training into separate courses delivered at multiple points throughout a career to help improve their retention. This will also help ensure that content is refreshed for changing platforms and technologies so Sailors are ready to perform on day one at their new units and help the Navy transform its industrial, conveyer-belt-training-model into a more modern one.

NAVADMIN 174/17 has complete information on these changes and can be found at www.npc.navy.mil.

MARITIME SUPREMACY

From page 1

● More capable ships: “You’re seeing this with directed-energy weapons like LaWS [laser weapon system], and the electromagnetic railgun and its high-velocity projectile. Other advances include additive manufacturing, which could revolutionize logistics at sea. Being able to 3D print a part on a ship is more efficient than carrying it in a locker.” ● Networked ships: “How do you make all these platforms work together and network everything to everything?”

The biggest and most important challenge, the CNO said, is keeping up with adversaries who are moving quickly to advance their technological capabilities. The pace of technology development and delivery in the Navy and Marine Corps must speed up in order to maintain maritime superiority for U.S. naval warfighters.

“I’m not a scientist or technologist,” Richardson said. “I’m here to define a problem for all of you [in attendance]. I want to bring science, technology and industry into the conversation early, so we can come up with the best solutions.”

Richardson gave his remarks at the Fu-

ture Force Expo, which is the premier science and technology event for the Navy and Marine Corps. The Expo is co-sponsored by the Office of Naval Research and the American Society of Naval Engineers and convenes every two years.

At the Expo, Chief of Naval Research Rear Adm. David J. Hahn unveiled his new guidance for the U.S. Navy’s research and development establishment. Titled “Naval Research and Development: A Framework for Accelerating to the Navy and Marine Corps after Next,” the Framework outlines new ways to accelerate technologies from basic research into finished products, and into Sailor or Marine hands.

Senior naval leaders see the Framework as a new way to bring together all the central players in naval research, including government labs, academia and industry.

Involving innovators in the discussion earlier will increase the likelihood that a business product will make it to the finish line-increasing the chances that research will make it to full-scale production and, ultimately, to Sailors and Marines.

As Restoration Nears Completion, ‘Old Ironsides’ Returns to Boston Harbor

By Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Charlotte C. Oliver Defense Media Activity

After a two-year restoration at historic Dry Dock 1 at Charlestown Navy Yard, Boston National Historical Park, the world’s oldest commissioned warship, USS Constitution was refloated July 23.

Since entering dry dock on May 18, 2015, ship restorers from the Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC) Detachment Boston, and teams of Constitution Sailors have worked tirelessly side-by-side to bring “Old Ironsides” back to her former glory.

Capt. Robert S. Gerosa, Jr., Constitution commanding officer, said he was proud of the hard work and dedication of his Sailors during the restoration.

“The significance of the water coming in the dry dock is the start of the evolution,” Gerosa said. “It’s the start of getting Constitution back in the water.

This is it, this is what we’ve been striving for the last 26 months.

We are again in the water where ships need to be.”

The restoration saw the replacement of 100 hull planks and the required caulking, the rebuilding of the ship’s cutwater on the bow, and the on-going preservation and repair of the ship’s rigging, upper masts and yards.

NHHC Director Sam Cox said

restoring the ship while keeping with the tenets of her original design was an important objective.

“When she was built, Constitution was among the best-designed ships in the world, she could outrun anything she couldn’t outgun and outgun anything she couldn’t outrun,” he said.

One of the most highly anticipated tasks was the replacement of Constitution’s copper sheathing below the waterline.

Copper sheathing has covered the lower hull since her launch in 1797, as protection against ship worms that could damage the wooden hull.

This was one part of the restoration that saw Constitution Sailors get hands-on with preservation work to America’s Ship of State. Sailors helped the NHHC Detachment Boston ship restorers replace 2200 sheets of copper and the felt that is installed behind it.

“It’s an incredible feeling to be a part of the team to work on Constitution,” Aviation Ordnanceman Hunter Sensign said.

“Every day I came to work and it really sinks in that I’m working on a ship that’s 219 years old.”

As the tide in Boston Harbor turned and began to rise, shipyard workers opened the valves in the caisson, the “floating gate” that has held back the harbor water and Dry Dock 1 flooded. It was the first time

the sea has touched Constitution’s hull in 26 months.

As the dry dock flooded and a team of Portsmouth Shipyard divers checked her hull. Constitution finally lifted from her keel blocks at about 9:45 p.m.

At 11:15 p.m., after checks were completed, Constitution crossed the sill of the dry dock and into Boston Harbor.

She was one of the six original frigates which began the new United States Navy, with construction authorized by an act of Congress in 1794. The three-masted heavy frigate was named by President George Washington after the Constitution of the United States of America. She and her sister frigates were designed

by shipbuilder Joshua Humphreys. As the Navy’s capital ships, they were larger and more heavily armed than frigates that had come before her, Constitution and her sisters became formidable opponents on the high seas.

Her keel was laid in Edmund Hartt’s Shipyard in Boston. She was built from the resilient Southern live oak from Georgia and her three masts were made from the strong white pine of Maine. Humphreys designed her hull at 22 inches thick at the waterline and to protect the hull, copper sheathing was added. Constitution was launched October 21, 1797.

Undefeated in battle, she fought wars on the high seas,

CHANGE OF COMMAND

“Daryl also supported Chief of Naval Operations tri-lateral discussions between the United States, France and the United Kingdom,” she added. “He even made a few Sailors happy on liberty as two U.S. ballistic-missile submarines made European port visits for the first time in a dozen years.”

Howard then turned her focus on the assuming commander, CSG-8.

“As much as we will miss Daryl and Donna, I am pleased to welcome Rear Adm. Thomas Ishee to the Naval Forces Europe, Naval Forces Africa, U.S. 6th Fleet family,” Howard said. “Tom knows the shoes he will have to fill are quite large … this is the second time in a row he’s taken over for Daryl. Tom’s had a successful career, including command of USS Key West as well as Submarine Squadron 11. His tactical and operational prowess will be put to the test in our theater of operations.”

from the Quasi War with France to the Barbary Wars and most notably the War of 1812 against Great Britain.

Her defining and most historic battle was with the British frigate HMS Guerriere, during which one of Constitution’s sailors noticed that some of the enemy’s cannon shot appeared to fall harmlessly off her hull.

“Huzza! Her sides are made of iron!,” the Sailor purportedly shouted – thus earning her the nickname “Old Ironsides.”

Constitution remains in service to her country today, sharing the history and heritage of America’s Navy. The ship is expected to continue post-docking restoration work before re-opening to the public in early September.

After the orders were read, Ishee took the opportunity to thank his predecessor and address his new crew.

“What a great assignment to be in the middle of naval operations for two theaters and supporting a third,” Ishee, new commander, CSG-8, said.

“I’m impressed by the breadth and depth of operations conducted here and I’m looking forward to leading and enabling this great team.”

U.S. 6th Fleet, headquartered in Naples, Italy, conducts the full spectrum of joint and naval operations, often in concert with allied, joint, and interagency partners, in order to advance U.S. national interests and security and stability in Europe and Africa.

U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa, headquartered in Naples, Italy, oversees joint and naval operations, often in concert with allied, joint, and interagency partners, to enable enduring relationships and increase vigilance and resilience in Europe and Africa.

DAILY TOURS

Head Up, Phone Down When Walking, Cycling or Driving From the National Safety Council

Summertime offers a nice reprieve from the constant shuffling of papers, carpools and heavy backpacks of the school year. But once fall rolls around again, parents and kids have a lot to juggle. As your children march out the door on that first day of school – and every day – there is really only one priority: Nothing is more important than making sure they get home safely.

According to a study by SafeKids.org, 61 children are hit by cars every day in the United States, most often during the hours before and after school, and peaking in September. And, there has been a noticeable demographic shift. It is now much more likely a teenager will be hit by a car than his younger counterpart.

Of the 484 pedestrians ages 19 and younger who died after being hit by a motor vehicle in 2013, 47 percent were age 15 to 19, according to Injury Facts 2015. We also know that 16,000 pedes-

upcoming uSo Tours Capodichino office 081-568-5713 Support Site office 081-811-4903 www.uso.it

trians 19 and younger were injured in 2013. That’s 44 per day.

They Send How Many Texts??

With this knowledge, the National Safety Council is focused on efforts to eliminate distracted walking – specifically walking while texting. According to a study by The Nielsen Company, kids age 13 to 17 send more than 3,400 texts a month. That’s seven messages every hour they are awake. Before your children head out, remind them of these year-round safety tips: ● Never walk while texting or talking on the phone ● If texting, move out of the way of others and stop on the sidewalk ● Never cross the street while using an electronic device ● Do not walk with headphones on ● Be aware of the surroundings ● Always walk on the sidewalk if one is available; if a child must walk on the street, he or she should face oncoming traffic ● Look left, right, then left again before crossing the street ● Cross only at crosswalks
