A Message To EB Employees From John Casey Casey President Dan Barrett, Editor Dean R. Courtney, Contributing Editor Terrie Pangilinan, Editorial Assistant Bob Gallo, Gary Slater, Gary

Dear Fellow Employee:

With the news that the Groton submarinebase is on the 2005 Base Realignment andClosure list, Electric Boat has entered into aperiod of uncertainty that will extend wellinto the fall.

It’s not surprising that many of us reactedto the announcement with surprise andapprehension – the two organizations haveworked hand in glove for several decades andover that period have established a close andeffective working relationship. I think we’veall become used to people outside the area

confusing the sub base with Electric Boat orthinking the two are one and the same.

As a company, we’ve reacted strongly to theproposed submarine base closing. The facilityis too valuable to shut down and we will sup-port every effort to reverse the decision toinclude the base on the BRAC list.

We have a significant presence at the base,with more than 500 employees supporting theNavy’s activities there. Additionally, both theNavy and Electric Boat benefit from the syn-ergies that arise from the proximity of subma-

Construction of the Hawaii (SSN-776) hit a key milestone recently when the Sea Shuttle transported the 2B/5module from Quonset Point to the Groton shipyard. At nearly 1,400 tons, the module is the largest Virginia-classsection ever shipped. See story on page 4.

A Message To EB Employees From John Casey

Major module, major milestone

Pat Rendeiro (644) already hadreasons to be proud of hercareer. She’s an Electric Boat

Distinguished Shipbuilder. She’s been anurse for more than half a century. She’stouched the lives of countless EB employ-ees over the years.

But this month, she was able to add“Nightingale Award winner” to her list ofaccomplishments.

Rendeiro, the Yard Hospital’s chargenurse, received the award from the VNAof Southeastern Connecticut, followingher nomination by EB Medical Director

Dr. Robert Hurley.“It was an easy choice,” said Hurley. “I

can think of few individuals who wouldembody the characteristics of the awardlike Patricia Rendeiro.”

Established in 2001 by the VNA ofSouth Central Connecticut, the Nightin-gale Award has since become a statewideprogram, with ceremonies hosted by fourregional VNAs each year.

“I am proud to be an occupationalhealth nurse and love my profession,”said Rendeiro, who was feted with 55other area nurses May 5 at the Mystic

Marriott. “My first priority has alwaysbeen hands-on nursing care.”

Attending the award ceremony weremembers of Rendeiro’s family – husbandJoe and daughter Rosemary, an EB secu-rity officer – along with 30 other EBemployees.

“Receiving the Nightingale Award is awonderful honor that I will always treas-ure,” Rendeiro said. “The people at EBare really special, and if I brought a littlesunshine into somebody’s life, that’s all Iwanted.”

rine producer to submarine operator.Nevertheless, what I’ve said several

times over the last several months bearsrepeating. If the base is eventually closed,Electric Boat will remain in business. Wewill be a very different business, but wewill remain a viable enterprise and theleader in submarine design, constructionand life-cycle support.

In the meantime, until the BRACcommission votes on its list, the mosteffective course of action we can take isto continue performing on our new con-struction work and our modernizationand maintenance jobs, both at the ship-yard and at the base. This approach willprovide tangible evidence of the benefitsthe Navy derives from the ElectricBoat/submarine-base relationship.

We have a significant backlog of Vir-ginia-class submarines to build and theconversions of four SSGNs to complete.Additionally, opportunities are develop-ing in other areas. For example, the jointDefense Advanced Research ProjectsAgency (DARPA)/Navy Tango Bravoproject has selected Electric Boat to per-form work in three areas – shaftlesspropulsion, external weapons and shipinfrastructure reduction.

Beyond that, our newly created Strate-gic Business Development organizationis developing strategies to capture newbusiness involving traditional and non-traditional customers and select adjacentmarkets.

Over the last 15 years or so, workingin the submarine industry has been aroller coaster ride, with more ups anddowns and twists and turns than I need

remind you. Despite some seeminglyinsurmountable challenges, Electric Boathas remained a viable business andstrengthened its position as the industryleader.

Now we’re facing yet another chal-lenge, one that requires all of us to pullin the same direction. It’s our futurewe’re talking about, and I’m confidentwe have what it takes and will do what ittakes to sustain this company’s success.

One evening a few weeks ago,section 2B/5 for the Hawaii(SSN-776) left Quonset Point

on the Sea Shuttle, arriving in Grotonthe following morning. The memory ofmore than two years of work won’t soondepart, however. Every trade and allthree shifts at Quonset Point contributedgreatly to the successful manufacturingof this module – the largest Virginia-class module ever assembled.

“Quonset Point has always lived up toany and all challenges,” said Tony Moniz(915), Building 2003’s superintendent.“This one ranks at or near the top, withthe loading of the AMR (AuxiliaryMachine Room) and Habitability mod-ules along with added electrical and pip-ing work.”

Thanks to the efforts of all employeeson SSN-776, Quonset Point will nowperform that same scope of work on2B/5 for SSN-777.

“This is a great example of how out-standing performance enables us toobtain more work,” said Moniz. “We cannow focus on new challenges.”

At nearly 100 feet long and weighingnearly 1,400 tons, SSN-776 2B/5 featuredseveral firsts for Quonset Point, a greatteam effort and plans to build the 2B/5for SSN-777 and SSN-778 with even bet-ter results.

“I can only describe the people whoworked on this project as unbelievablycommitted,” said Rick Phillips (915),area superintendent. “No matter whatthe task, no matter what shift, eachemployee made a major contribution. Icouldn’t be more proud of their effort.”

A Three-Shift EffortBecause they work mostly under the

Largest Virginia-Class Module Makes Voyage From Quonset Point To Groton

cover of night, the off-shifts are the for-gotten builders. But manufacturing a unitof this magnitude requires the efforts ofmore than one person, more than onecrew and more than one shift.

“We really pulled together across allthree shifts to get this module done,” saidGary Slater (915), area superintendent onsecond shift. “The entire facility workedas a team – including the Building 60side, which supported us throughout.”

“When I look at the overall effort andthe barriers we overcame, all employeesdid a great job,” added Ed Guertin (915),area superintendent on third shift. “Wereally hit a home run.”

In December, QP received good news –a substantial amount of work was to beadded to the 2B/5 project. The outstand-ing performance on the unit up to thatpoint was the reason for the additionalwork.

With that much work to be done in amatter of months, timing and schedulingneeded to be tackled, but perhaps themost challenging piece was simply access-ing the work.

Much of the work required accessingoutboard areas (between the AMR andHab modules and the outer hull).

“We were called to this unit (from Bay1) because it was at the top of the prior-ity list,” said Bill Magno (915), a third-shift installation mechanic. “Weanswered that call by working seven daysa week, 10 hours a day for six weeks.”

Magno added that they really didn’tknow what kind of trouble they wouldhave accessing the work. Great coopera-tion and precise planning by all involvedanswered those concerns.

“Every time you went into the workarea, you had to think about how youwere going to get in there and how youwere going to get the job done,” addedJohn Kudrich (915), a first-shift installa-tion mechanic. “It wasn’t as simple asjust walking in and going to work. Hav-ing said that, I feel pretty good about thework we did on this unit,” he said.

“This work was tough, it really cameout of sequence, but we took it as itcame,” said Joe Murphy (915), second-shift foreman. “We need to continue thistype of great performance on these chal-lenging projects to grow the business.”

The Next 2B/5With SSN-777 and SSN-778 already

inside Building 2003 at different stages ofproduction, Quonset Point has anopportunity to put plans in place thatwill achieve enhanced performance.

“The great thing about building thisunit for 776 is that we have the 777 and778 to build,” said John D’Ambrosia(915), a first-shift foreman. “We canreally put some process improvementsand proper sequencing (creating andplanning for the work to be done in anorder that makes sense) in place to buildit even better.”

“Quonset Point has always lived up

to any and all challenges. This one

ranks at or near the top, with the

loading of the AMR (Auxiliary

Machine Room) and Habitability

modules along with added electrical

and piping work.”

Electric Boat’s Technology Area Teams arecelebrating their 10-year anniversary thisyear, and team leaders say the groups are

more relevant than ever.The TATs, as they are known, give every EB

department access to resident experts on a growingnumber of subjects, particularly new and upcomingtechnologies.

“The TATs keep an eye on what’s going on in theoutside world – what the universities are doing,what the Navy labs are doing for far-reachingresearch – and they figure out how it may be appli-cable to a submarine application,” explained princi-pal engineer Tom Skrmetti (481), the TAT coordi-nator. “So they are really the point of the spear fornew technology business opportunities.”

Staff engineer Mark Bennett (481), programmanager for Independent Research and Develop-ment and one of the original TAT facilitators, saidEB formed the teams as part of its business processre-engineering efforts of the mid-1990s. Only sixteams were established originally, but as technologyhas evolved into new and different areas, he said, sohave the TATs.

“The TATs have helped coordinate our effortswithin various disciplines, such as acoustics,” Ben-nett said. “At the same time, they’ve allowed us to

better coordinate some of our research and devel-opment and get contracted R&D work.”

EB provides seed money to each of the TATs tocoordinate activities and pursue submarine-applica-ble R&D contracts from various outside facilities.This, in effect, allows EB to stretch its R&D dollars.

Skrmetti said last year’s TAT activities resulted inabout $6 million worth of contracted work. “Butit’s more than just a return on investment,” he said.“We’re also helping to set the stage for what’s goingto happen with the new submarine platforms.”

Principal engineer Tom Baker (449), leader of thearrays and sensors TAT, said his group is nowworking on a project for NAVSEA that seeks to“drive the cost out of the ship,” in part by replacingexisting arrays with lower-cost ones, “some ofwhich have been developed through the TATprocess.”

Engineering project manager John Pavlos (481),who heads a newly created TAT specializing in off-board vehicles, said the Navy is paying much moreattention to such vehicles, so it made sense for EBto do so as well.

“The new team, which branched off from anolder one, is focused on how a submarine designedand built at EB could support the use of off-board

Keeping Up With The Cutting Edge, Technology Area Teams Mark Their First Decade



Four Electric Boat technologistswere honored earlier thismonth at General Dynamics

seventh annual Technology Excellenceand Patent Awards Banquet held at theRitz Carlton Hotel in Pentagon City, Va.

Three of the Electric Boat honorees –Al Franco, Daniel Kane and MichaelSalata (all of Dept. 444) – received apatent for developing an electromagneticdevice called a flux shunt. This device isinstalled on the rotating part of a perma-nent-magnet motor or generator and isused to modify the air-gap magnetic field.This technique reduces generator har-monics in the ship’s power grid and

reduces vibration in motors, resulting inquieter motors and generators for sub-marines.

Additionally, Austin Alvarez (463)took home a General Dynamics Tech-nology Excellence Award for his contri-butions to Electric Boat over a 37-yearcareer, most recently for his work on theGraving Dock 3 redesign effort.

The recipients were presented withtheir awards by GD Chairman and CEONicholas D. Chabraja, who thankedthem for their achievements andexpressed pride in the level of technicalaccomplishment at General Dynamics.

vehicles for the Navy,” he said. “We’realways trying to stay a little bit ahead ofthe curve.”

Bennett said the TATs have had closeties with EB’s Concept Formulationgroup since the beginning, but they arenow interacting with other areas of thecompany as well.

“Growing beyond CONFORM is abig thing,” he said. “Technology is trans-portable, so there’s no reason why peoplein, say, the process improvement side ofEB or the maintenance and moderniza-tion side couldn’t be utilizing and chal-lenging these teams more.”

But make no mistake – the TATs’bread and butter is shaping the subma-rine of the future.

“If we could put payloads andweapons into boxes external to the hull,we could get rid of the torpedo room,”principal engineer and TAT leaderMarty Soifer (409) said of his underseaweapons team’s most forward-lookingproposal. “We could get a far more effi-cient, less costly ship.

“The objective is to integrate new andinnovative weapons and launchers toenable enhanced missions,” he contin-ued. “That’ll keep the submarine rele-vant as we go into the future.”

Engineering Director Al Malchiodi(409), who oversees the CONFORMgroup, said the TATs have proven theirworth time and again, particularly intheir ability to quickly assess new tech-nologies to determine whether such tech-nologies would belong on a submarine.

“I lean on them very heavily to pro-vide that quick assessment as we go for-ward, and they do it well,” he said.

The EBMA awarded $14,500 in college scholarships

to 10 high school seniors who were honored at a

recent dinner meeting at the Groton Inn and Suites.

Since 1968, the EBMA has awarded college scholarships

annually to dependents of its members. This year, 35 appli-

cants were anonymously judged by the scholarship committee,

which considered academics, community involvement, leader-

ship skills and career objectives. The 10 finalists selected were

then interviewed by the committee, which used the combined

scores from the application review and the interview to deter-

mine the top three scholarship recipients.

This year’s scholarship recipients and their sponsors were:

We at the Yard Hospital hope to be a partner with you andyour doctor in educating you in:

n Evidence-Based Medicine: Simply put, this is research that tellsdoctors what works, what doesn’t, and why. You should know this par-ticularly if you are on medications that are expensive but provide nobenefit or even worsen your health. We’ll talk about surgical proceduresand treatment pathways. For instance, should you go for an MRI in thefirst two weeks of low back pain?

n Prevention: We will report the latest findings and recommendationsof agencies such as the U.S. Preventive Service Task Force, the Food andDrug Administration, the National Institutes of Health and others tohelp you make informed choices. Are you adhering to the guidelines forcancer prevention? Find out when we discuss the latest recommenda-tions of preventive medicine.

n FDA Notifications: Thinking of having an implantable stimulatorto treat chronic pain? Find out what the FDA says about these devices.Taking oral Fentanyl? Do you know it could worsen your sleep disorderand make the pain worse?

n Health Improvement Tips: You’ve read a lot about diets. Whichis the right one for you? Maybe you don’t need to diet at all. Perhapschanging the foods you eat and sticking with them might result in sus-tained weight loss and improved health.

These are just a few of the topics I’ll address in my monthly ElectricBoat News column.


Health Matters

If you asked every person at Electric Boatwhether cholesterol was good or bad,most would answer, “Bad.” If you asked

why that is so, a smaller percentage wouldanswer that cholesterol clogs arteries and is acomponent of heart disease. A question aboutthe different types of cholesterol would beanswered correctly by fewer still.

As you can see, there are varying levels ofunderstanding. Many who read this may haveanswered some if not all of the questions cor-rectly. In medicine, this natural progression ofinformation is referred to as “increasing a fundof knowledge.” Going forward, your fund ofknowledge will be used to understand health-care issues so you can make the best choicesfor yourself and your family. The experts are inagreement of one thing – the cost of health-care will continue to rise. The more you know,the better your choices will be.

Bob Hurley, MDMedical Director

Introducing Dr. Bob Hurley, Medical Director

The medical director at the venerable Yard Hospital is a gentleman who goes by Bob andsees himself as a resource for the working men and women of Electric Boat.

“Mr. Casey and Mr. Nardone brought me here to serve the workers. To that end, wehope to help them understand health issues and perhaps give them time to discuss theirhealth concerns. We may have more time than their hurried and harried family doctormight.

‘‘I see my current position as one in which I can be of service to the workers not onlyfrom an occupational and environmental viewpoint but also as a family doctor and onewho has experience in musculoskeletal and rehabilitative medicine.”

Hurley brings a highly unusual skill set to the position. Both a chiropractor and a med-ical doctor, he was residency trained in Family Medicine at Brown University as well asOccupational and Environmental Medicine at Boston University. In addition, he holds amaster’s of public health degree from Boston University. Prior to coming to Electric Boat,Hurley was in private practice, hospital based medicine and corporate medicine, and heldpositions as a disability consultant and as director of health for a large northeastern city.


Engineering Department Supports Troops;Welcomes One Of Its Own Back From Iraq

The Mexican holiday Cinco deMayo took on distinctly Amer-icans overtones when Depart-

ment 411 employees in Building 197 wel-comed home supervisor Ted Larson, acolonel in the Marine Corps Reserve whohad recently returned from duty in Iraq.

The setting was a taco-and-burritobuffet, one of a series of lunches thedepartment has organized to raise themoney needed to buy items for troopsdeployed in Iraq. Larson, who is finish-ing up his active-duty stint, was invitedafter his co-workers learned he hadreturned to the U.S.

During his time in Iraq, Larson keptup regular e-mail correspondence withhis colleagues at work, who passed themessages on to other employees in the

shipyard. As the commander of CombatService Support Group 15 at CampTaqaddum in Al Anbar Province, he wasresponsible for processing food, water,ammunition, spare parts and other sup-plies for about 10,000 troops in the area.He was presented with the Bronze Starfor his service.

Larson was also responsible for distrib-uting the telephone calling cards, videodiscs, toiletries and other items sent to hisbase by members of Department 411.

The items were bought with the pro-ceeds of lunches organized by BillDodge, with food supplied by otherdepartment members. Additionally,Owen O’Neill put out a jar and collectedadditional cash, DVDs and phone cards.

Larson wasn’t the only Electric Boat-

related recipient of the care packages.Eileen Harrington’s son, John David; AlDeCelles’ son, Robert; and Dodge’sbrother-in-law, Rick Baltadonis, werealso on the receiving end of Department411’s largesse.

Altogether, said Dodge, the depart-ment has raised $1,341. The 341 poundsof gifts and supplies from home werepacked in 21 boxes by Dodge’s daughter,Julianna, and members of her Girl ScoutTroup 5415 in Lebanon.

Recently returned fromduty in Iraq, U.S.Marine Corps ReserveCol. Ted Larson sharessome of his experi-ences with fellowDepartment 411 mem-ber Bill Dodge. Dodgeand other 411 employ-ees organized a lunchto welcome Larsonhome and raise moneyfor care packages thatwill be sent to othermembers of the militaryin Iraq.
