that Japanese nationals do for us and this is just one of the
things we dofor them."

more about theirguests.
"In Japan, we are trying to push kids to be international people

other cultures as well," said RiekoKomatsu, a community relations
specialist at Negishi. "For these kids, we offer theopportunity to
see a different community and American hospitality."

North Carolina Executive Mansion Aug. 27.
Rear Adm. Doug Morton, commander, Naval Facilities Engineering
Command(NAVFAC) Atlantic, presented Smith with a framed

"It was my honor and distinct pleasure to represent the Seabees
and NAVFAC inhonoring Jerry on his 100th birthday," said Morton.
"Seabees past and present takepride in our shared history, heritage
and legacy. I know that our 'Bees stationedaround the world will be
delighted to know that one of their own - one of theoriginal
Seabees - has reached this important milestone."
Also honoring Smith at the Governor's mansion was North Carolina
Lt. Gov. DanForest, U.S. Senator Richard Burr, Cmdr. Ron Ross,
commanding officer of NavyRecruiting District Raleigh, Army Maj.
Gen. Greg Lusk, adjutant general of NorthCarolina, and
representatives from various veterans' organizations.
Smith is a "plank owner" in the First Naval Construction
Battalion, which wascommissioned March 15, 1942. He served in the
Navy from January 1942 toSeptember 1945. (A Navy plank owner is an
individual who was a member of thecrew when the ship or command was
placed in commission.)
World War II Seabees have a storied history. Convinced that war
was coming, theNavy realized that fighting in theaters halfway
around the world would present newchallenges in logistics and would
require a vast infrastructure. Beginning in 1940,the Navy began a
program of building bases on far-flung Pacific islands using
civiliancontractors.
When the United States officially entered the war, the use of
civilian labor had tostop. Under international law, civilians were
not permitted to resist enemy militaryattack. If they did, they
could be executed as guerrillas.
The need then for a militarized Naval Construction Force to
build advance bases in awar zone became self-evident. Rear Admiral
Ben Moreell, "Father of the Seabees,"was determined to activate,
organize, and man Navy construction units.
On Jan. 5, 1942, he gained authority to recruit men from the
construction trades forassignment into a Naval Construction
Regiment composed of three NavalConstruction Battalions. This is
the actual beginning of the renowned Seabees, whoobtained their
designation from the initial letters of Construction Battalion.
AdmiralMoreell personally furnished them with their official motto:
Construimus, Batuimus -"We Build, We Fight."

"We are excited to have our panel to review the final product of
these designers'hard work, it will be a great insight to understand
how people visualize history andhow it relates to today's world,"
said remarked Joseph Fordham, NHHC integrationlead who is in charge
of organizing NHHC's panel of judges and establishing thecriteria
for their review.
The logo should take into account the command's diverse and
unique missions.NHHC has a long history of preserving, analyzing,
and disseminating the history andheritage of the U.S. Navy. The
organization traces its roots back to 1800 whenPresident John Adams
instructed the first Secretary of the Navy, Benjamin Stoddert,to
prepare a catalog of professional books for use in the Secretary's
office. Over thenext two centuries, the Navy's history was
collected through various offices anddepartments. Finally, in the
early 1970s, the organization, ultimately entitled theNaval History
and Heritage Command, became a single entity responsible for
allaspects of Navy historical preservation and dissemination.
The panel is made up of officials from NHHC and will evaluate
each logo based onthe set criteria outlined in the logo contest
rules. A winner will be selected amongthose submitted, and the
winning design will help inspire a new command logo.
The challenge for contestants is distilling the United States
Navy's long and storiedpast into an iconic graphic makes as much
sense on a 20 foot banner as it does on acommand patch.
"We have gotten some really spectacular concepts and ideas from
a variety ofartists, both civilian and military, around the U.S.,"
Fordham explained.
A few of the submissions have been revealed on the command's
blog and can beseen at

andhttp://www.navalhistory.org/2013/07/26/nhhc-logo-contest-underway.
"I think everyone should take the time to examine the NHHC logo
designsubmissions, perhaps they will spark new concept for a
submission of their own,"Fordham remarked. "We hope to receive many
more unique and interesting logodesigns before the contest
submission time ends. The more logos we receive, themore we
appreciate how people imagine Navy history and what it means to
them."

from riders who have been riding for more than 20 years."
Truebenbach added that members of the motorcycle club meet
monthly to ensureUSS Abraham Lincoln Sailors are aware of the Navy
rules and regulations for owningand operating a motorcycle.
Cmdr. Jon Taylor, air department officer, USS Abraham Lincoln,
coordinated thetraining event and shared valuable safety tips to
fellow Sailors.
"Every single Sailor we have is an asset, not only to USS
Abraham Lincoln, but toour Navy and nation as a whole," said
Taylor. "We must do all we can to help keepthem safe. As a
motorcycle rider for the last 24 years, I'm happy to pass on to
ouryounger riders some of the things I've learned or observed over
the years to helpthat cause."
Cmdr. Vincent Janowiak, chief engineer, USS Abraham Lincoln,
discussed theimportance leaders have to provide Sailors the tools
to make smarter decisions.
"As Navy leaders, we spend a fair amount of time talking to our
Sailors about beingresponsible and making smart decisions," said
Janowiak. "Motorcycle safety is noless important than any of these
discussion points. It's absolutely key to a healthywork environment
that we mentor every Sailor on this idea of being responsible
andmaking smart decisions in every aspect, including motorcycle
safety."
Following the motorcycle safety awareness training, a portion of
the USS AbrahamLincoln motorcycle club participated in a safety
group ride from Newport News toSuffolk, Va.
"It is short enough to give all of our new riders an insight
into group riding and longenough to impart knowledge to many of
them who probably haven't participated in agroup ride," said
Truebenbach.
Truebenbach added that combining a classroom lecture with a ride
is moreconstructive for learning.
USS Abraham Lincoln is currently undergoing a refueling and
complex overhaul(RCOH) at Newport News Shipbuilding, a division of
Huntington Ingalls Industries.
USS Abraham Lincoln is the fifth ship of the Nimitz class to
undergo a RCOH, amajor life-cycle milestone. Once RCOH is complete,
Lincoln will be one of the mostmodern and technologically advanced
Nimitz-class aircraft carriers in the fleet andwill continue to be

the outstanding efforts of multiple Expeditionary Strike Group
(ESG) 2 tenantcommands at a ceremony Aug. 23, held at Norfolk Naval
Station.
The event honored command achievements during the 2012 CFC
campaign andkicked off the 2013 Combined Federal Campaign
(CFC).
Comprising more than 35 percent of all awardees from the
Atlantic Fleet, 12 of ESG-2's tenant commands received the Goal
Buster award.
Awardees include Amphibious Squadron 6, Amphibious Squadron 8,
Assault CraftUnit 2, Assault Craft Unit 4, Naval Beach Group 2,
Tactical Air Squadron 21, TacticalAir Squadron 22, USS Fort McHenry
(LSD 43), USS Gunston Hall (LSD 44), USS IwoJima (LHD 7), USS
Arlington (LPD 24) and USS San Antonio (LPD 17).
The Goal Buster award is earned by commands that exceed their
campaigncollection goal for the year. Goal amounts are assigned by
CFC organizers and arebased on the size of the command.
In addition, USS Iwo Jima (LHD 7) was recognized for having the
most innovativecampaign.
"There is no doubt that every donation collected across all
commands will make asignificant difference to many worthy
charities," said Rear Adm. Ann Phillips,commander, Expeditionary
Strike Group 2. "I am especially proud of the
leadership,initiative, and hard work of the commands that raised
the bar to exceed theircampaign goal."
Cmdr. Lloyd Mack, commanding officer, TACRON 21, ensured the
values of the"Blackjacks" drove the campaign to a successful
outcome.
"One of the key tenants of the TACRON 21 Command Philosophy is
'Care - Care forour fellow sailors and families'," said Mack. "It
is something that we emphasize alongwith accountability and
excellence. The Combined Federal Campaign provides anavenue for our
Sailors to display their Care for the greater community, and I
amvery proud of how Blackjack Sailors continue to contribute at
every opportunity."
Commands often set contribution goals, always aiming to out-do
themselves.
"Our [CFC] coordinators organized and motivated the staff to
come together andexceed our 2012 Commit to Care Campaign Goal by
more than 400 percent," saidCapt. Wes Brown, commander, Naval Beach
Group 2. "We look forward to settingand achieving an even higher
goal [in 2013]."
In addition to overseeing and managing the readiness of the
amphibious fleet, ESG 2is a joint, rapid and robust deployable
staff. Supporting the entire range of militaryoperations, ESG 2 is
involved in theatre security cooperation events, major
combatoperations, humanitarian assistance and disaster relief,
ranging from the East Coastof the United States to the

few questions.
"This is my first visit to Japan as vice chief of naval

matters, so [NAF Atsugi] beingforward not only provides a
stabilizing presence, but a ready response force," he said. "It
mayhave a different mix of aircraft and have a slightly smaller
presence, but [NAF Atsugi] will still beimportant to us in the
future."

LCS 4 Completes Acceptance TrialsStory Number: NNS130827-14
Release Date: 8/27/2013 1:05:00 PM
From PEO LCS Public Affairs
MOBILE, Ala. (NNS) -- The future USS Coronado (LCS 4)
successfully concluded acceptance trialsafter completing a series
of graded in-port and underway demonstrations for the Navy's Board
ofInspection and Survey (INSURV), the Navy announced Aug. 28.
Acceptance trials are the last significant milestone before
delivery of the ship to the Navy, whichis planned for later this
fall. The ship completed trials Aug. 23.
"Coronado's performance was strong" said Rear Adm. Robert Wray,
INSURV president. "[Thiswas] the most complete and rigorous trial
on the Independence variant to date. I remain bullishon these
seaframes."
During the four-day trial, the Navy conducted comprehensive
tests intended to demonstrate theperformance of the propulsion
plant, ship handling and auxiliary systems. While underway, theship
successfully performed launch and recovery operations with both the
7-meter and 11-meterrigid hull inflatable boats, a four-hour full
power run, surface and air self defense detect-to-engage exercises,
and demonstrated the ship's tremendous maneuverability performing
tightturns and accomplishing speeds in excess of 40 knots.
"Coronado encompasses lessons learned from the construction and
operation of its predecessorUSS Independence. The value of those
changes was evident in the strong performance of theship during her
trial." said LCS Program Manager Capt. Tom Anderson. "It's a very
exciting timein the LCS program."
Following delivery and commissioning, Coronado will be
homeported in San Diego with its sisterships USS Freedom (LCS 1),
USS Independence (LCS 2) and USS Fort Worth (LCS 3).
Milwaukee (LCS 5), Detroit (LCS 7), Little Rock (LCS 9) and
Sioux City (LCS 11) are underconstruction at the Marinette Marine
Corp. shipyard in Marinette, Wis., and Jackson (LCS 6),Montgomery
(LCS 8), Gabrielle Giffords (LCS 10) and Omaha (LCS 12), are under
construction atthe Austal USA shipyard in Mobile, Ala.
Wichita (LCS 13) and Billings (LCS 15) are under contract with
Marinette Marine Corp and in thepre-production phase, while
Manchester (LCS 14) and Tulsa (LCS 16) under contract with
Austaland in the pre-production phase.
The littoral combat ship class is designed to defeat threats in
coastal waters where increasinglycapable submarines, mines, and
swarming small craft operate. To deliver capabilities againstthese
threats, the Navy introduced LCS with innovative concepts, such as
modular missionpackages, to quickly respond to an evolving
threat.
The Navy is committed to a 52-ship LCS class.

Submarine Group 7 Hosts JapaneseOrphansStory Number:
NNS130827-02 Release Date: 8/27/2013 8:04:00 AM
By Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class (EXW) Sebastian
McCormack, Submarine Group 7 Public Affairs
YOKOSUKA, Japan (NNS) -- Submarine Group Seven Sailors hosted a
community relations(COMREL) event Aug. 23 at Fleet Activities,
Yokosuka's Yokohama Detachment, locally known asNegishi Housing
Area, for children from Seibo Aijien Orphanage.
The Sailors took the children on a tour of the fire station, put
on a barbeque, played basketballand held a pool party.
"For me, living in Negishi for the past three years, the COMREL
presented an opportunity to giveback to my community," said
Cryptologic Technician (Collection) 1st Class Stephen
Comstock."We're guests in this country right now. There are a lot
of things that Japanese nationals do forus and this is just one of
the things we do for them."
COMRELs like this one give Japanese nationals a chance to learn
more about their guests.
"In Japan, we are trying to push kids to be international people
and get familiar with not onlyJapanese culture, but also understand
other cultures as well," said Rieko Komatsu, a communityrelations
specialist at Negishi. "For these kids, we offer the opportunity to
see a differentcommunity and American hospitality."
"We don't always have the opportunity to interact with
Americans," said a child from theorphanage. "We're always looking
to come on base; there's a lot of fun stuff to do. I have thechance
to practice my English here."
"I think these events help the Japanese community accept the
American people," said Komatsu."It leads to mutual understanding
and communication to deepen our relationship."
