Electric Boat-Sponsored ScholarReports In

In 2005, Electric Boat donated $10,000 tothe Dolphin Scholarship Foundation, anorganization that supports children of cur-rent and former submariners.

Recently, EB President John Caseyreceived the following letter from the youngwoman named the General Dynamics Elec-tric Boat Scholar by the foundation.

Dear Mr. Casey,

My name is Stephanie Whitson, and I was named the GeneralDynamics Electric Boat Scholar by the Dolphin Scholarship Founda-tion this year (2006). I would like to take the time to tell you a littleabout myself and to thank you for your contribution to the foundation.

I am currently a student at Clemson University studying to be achemical engineer. I am in the Calhoun Honors College here at the uni-versity, and through that I have already participated in an undergradu-ate research program called EUREKA! In that program, I spent fiveweeks during the summer working on a research project in the horticul-ture department. My partner and I are looking to publish our results ina national journal sometime this year. I plan to actively pursue moreresearch opportunities throughout the rest of my college education. Iam currently involved in the Clemson Sailing Club, and may alsobecome involved in some of the theater programs they offer as well.

I am currently taking classes for my bachelor’s degree, and plan tocontinue on to graduate school to obtain at least my master’s. After Iam finished with school, I hope to start a career working in researchand development. I have yet to decide which specific field I want toenter, but it is something I am contemplating deeply. Thank you somuch for supporting the Dolphin Scholarship Foundation and provid-ing both myself and other students with the means to achieve the edu-cation of which they dream.

With much appreciation,

Stephanie Whitson

objective will benefit our company, ouremployees and the Navy, and help ensureour nation’s undersea superiority.”

Hawaii is the third ship of the Virginiaclass, the Navy’s first major combatantships designed with the post-Cold Warsecurity environment in mind. Approvednearly four years after the fall of the BerlinWall, Virginia-class submarines embodywarfighting and operational capabilitiesrequired to dominate the littorals whilemaintaining undersea dominance in theopen ocean.

“Like its sister ships, Hawaii has beendesigned specifically to incorporate emer-gent technologies that will provide newcapabilities to meet new threats,” Caseysaid. “This enables the Virginia class tomake unique and significant contributionsto national security well into the decadesahead,” he said.

Electric Boat and Northrop GrummanNewport News have received contracts tobuild the first 10 submarines of a planned30-ship Virginia class under a teamingagreement that splits the constructionworkload between the two shipyards.

The U.S. Navy has awarded a$208 million contract option toa Bath Iron Works-led team

for construction of a second LittoralCombat Ship (LCS) featuring an inno-vative, high-speed trimaran hull. The127-meter surface combatant ship,equipped with open architecture-basedcombat systems and computing environ-ment, is scheduled for delivery to theNavy in July 2009. The original contractwas awarded in July 2003.

The Littoral Combat Ship is a key ele-ment of the Navy’s plan to addressasymmetric threats of the twenty-firstcentury. Intended to operate in coastalareas of the globe, the ship will be fast,highly maneuverable and geared to sup-porting mine detection/elimination, anti-submarine warfare and anti-surface war-fare, particularly against small surfacecraft.

General Dynamics Awarded $208 Million For Second Trimaran Littoral Combat Ship

Purchasing Employees Take HomeCorporate Award

The General Dynamics Supply Chain Management Council recently hon-ored two Electric Boat employees for their cost-savings initiatives.

Material planner Erin Joyce and purchasing agent Darcy Peruzotti,both of Dept. 330, received excellence awards for their contributions to the EBSPARS e-Commerce system. This initiative uses up-to-date technology to enablecost-effective, cross-functional communication and exchange of informationamong suppliers, internal and external customers, and teaming partners.

The Supply Chain Management Council was established to leverage the pur-chasing power of General Dynamics and its business units. Last year, more than$100 million in savings was achieved through corporate-wide agreements involvingthe business units.

displacement of any U.S. Navy surfacecombatant afloat today – providing theflexibility to carry out one mission whilea separate mission module is in reserve.The General Dynamics LCS’s large flightdeck sits higher above the water than anyU.S. Navy surface combatant and willsupport near-simultaneous operation oftwo SH-60 helicopters or multipleunmanned vehicles. The ultra-stable tri-maran hull allows for flight operations inhigh sea conditions. In addition, the deckis suitable for landing the much-larger H-53 helicopters, should that become afuture requirement.

The General Dynamics Littoral Com-bat Ship design is based on a provenAustal (Henderson, Australia) high-speed trimaran hull that is currentlyoperating at sea. The first trimaran LCS,Independence (LCS-2), is under con-struction at Austal USA in Mobile, Ala.

The General Dynamics Littoral Com-bat Ship’s open architecture computingenvironment – another key factor in

meeting the U.S. Navy’s requirements fora flexible, multimission ship – enablesindustry’s most capable, affordable, non-proprietary solutions to be incorporatedinto the ship’s core mission system. Thiscomputing environment, developed bythe General Dynamics Advanced Infor-mation Systems team, provides a highlyflexible information technology back-bone that allows “plug and play” inte-gration of both the core systems and theLCS mission modules.

Bath Iron Works is the prime contrac-tor for the General Dynamics LittoralCombat Ship Team. Partners includeAustal USA (Mobile, Ala.); BAE Sys-tems (Rockville, Md.); General Dynam-ics Advanced Information Systems (Fair-fax, Va.); L3 Communications MarineSystems (Leesburg, Va.); MaritimeApplied Physics Corporation (Baltimore,Md.); and Northrop Grumman Elec-tronic Systems (Baltimore, Md.).

Naval Sea Systems Commandrecently presented a LifetimeAchievement Award to principal

engineer Ed Lemieux for his work to pre-vent seawater corrosion on submarine hulls.

The presentation was made byNAVSEA representative AndrewSeelinger in the Technology Center whileLemieux’s wife, Anna, and daughter, Jen-nifer, looked on along with co-workersfrom Electrical Engineering (428) andother engineering organizations.

Lemieux was specifically recognized forhis expertise in the installation ofImpressed Current Cathodic Protection(ICCP) systems. These are electrical sys-tems that prevent seawater from corrod-ing submarines.

“Ed’s experience in submarine opera-tion and engineering, and his ability toeffect change within the shipyard envi-ronment were invaluable during the first

ICCP system installation,” said Seelinger.“Those attributes carry on today in theVirginia class.”

Seelinger also read testimonials fromNavy representatives who have workedwith Lemieux over the years, includinghis son.

One of them was Bob Bardsley of theNaval Surface Warfare Center, who said,“Engineers utilize scientific knowledge tosolve problems. Ed certainly qualifies asan engineer under this definition, but hasfurther aptitudes including ingenuity,drive, enthusiasm, confidence, leadership,luck and humor.”

Ted Lemieux, head of corrosion engi-neering at the Naval Research Labora-

tory, attributed the success he hasattained so far to his father, who per-suaded him to pursue an engineeringcareer and helped him land his first jobwith the Navy. “Dad’s reputationamongst the Navy ICCP community isthat of an engineer who truly has the get-it-done mentality with a unique and sin-gular ability to actually cut through thebureaucracy and make things happen,”said the younger Lemieux. “My profes-sional interactions with him have servedas a kind of career mentorship in ship-building practices, connecting scientificdesires and engineering reality and, mostimportantly, professional integrity.”

soon it became a standard treatment forfever and rheumatism. It did have somedrawbacks – it had an unpleasant tasteand could irritate the stomach.

Much remained the same until 1897when Bayer chemist Felix Hoffman’sfather complained of his doses of sali-cylic acid. Hoffman investigated the his-tory of salicylic acid and postulated thatby removing an acid and replacing itwith an acetyl group it would becomethe salt, acetylsalicylic acid, whichreduced stomach irritation. After muchpromotion by Hoffman, aspirin under-went testing on animals and demon-strated its anti-inflammatory and anal-gesic qualities. This initial study has beencited as the beginning of the modernpharmaceutical industry with engineereddrugs and animal and human clinical tri-als. At first obtained only by prescrip-tion, aspirin became widely used as anover-the-counter medication within 15years.

In 1948, the physician LawrenceCraven noted that men who were pre-scribed aspirin suffered no heart attacks.From that anecdotal observation he pre-scribed “an aspirin a day” for bothpatients and colleagues as prevention.The mystery as to how aspirin preventsheart attacks and stroke was solved in1971 when the British pharmacologistJohn Vane described aspirin’s inhibitionof naturally occurring inflammatorysubstances called prostaglandins.

The Willow’s Story

I pass a giant weeping willow everyday as I come into work. I smile as itinvariably reminds me of a story myfather told me about the beautiful Indianprincess, who after being forsaken by heryoung brave, died bereft. The gods tookpity on her sorrow and placed a willowtree near her grave to weep eternally.

The weeping willow has had a remark-able history, influencing medicine, mythand culture. With its ability to grow oneto two feet per year in moist soil or arisefrom a branch cutting, even placedupside down, the willow has come tosymbolize renewal, growth, vitality andimmortality. The Christian church seized continued on page 9

upon this ancient symbolism and usedwillow to decorate churches in Britainon Palm Sunday in place of the largelyunavailable palm branches. By the 19thcentury, illustrations of weeping willowswere commonly used as ornaments ongravestones and mourning cards, andwere utilized to line burial plots.

The willow’s story is even moreremarkable when one considers the painand suffering it has alleviated for morethan 4,000 years. Early writings describehow Chinese physicians used willow torelieve pain. The Greek physician Hip-pocrates described the use of willowbark as a treatment for fever, pain andrelieving women in labor. The ancientworld was not alone in recognizing wil-low as North American Indian tribesalso used it to relieve their infirmities.During the Dark Ages in Europe, theseremedies were largely forgotten, as wil-low was utilized to make wicker; in somecommunities its medicinal use wasbanned.

This changed in the mid 1700s whenthe clergyman Edward Stone beganlooking for a substitute for an expensiveSouth American herb to treat malaria.He brewed a tea of white willow andsuccessfully treated the fevers of morethan 50 patients. In 1828, Johann Buch-ner isolated pure salicin and later, Her-mann Kolbe discovered the chemicalstructure and succeeded in making itartificially. This allowed salicylic acid tobe produced on an industrial scale and

this body of work, he was awarded theNobel Prize in 1982. Three years later,the FDA recommended the use ofaspirin to reduce the risk of stroke aftersigns such as a transient ischemic attack(TIA), previous heart attack or unstableangina.

Evidence Based Medicine

There are additional studies that led tothe current support of aspirin. The first,the Physicians Health study organized atHarvard University in 1989, reportedthat when 22,000 healthy doctors took adaily aspirin, the occurrence of heartattacks, clotting and strokes was cut inhalf. At Oxford, a “meta analysis” ofnumerous aspirin clinical trials revealedthat if “people at risk” took aspirin,100,000 lives would be saved each year. Ifthis isn’t convincing enough, recent stud-ies have suggested that daily aspirin mayreduce colon cancer rates by 30 to 50percent. Finally, a study published lastJuly in the American Journal of Preven-tive Medicine ranked taking a daily 81mg aspirin as the number-one preventivemeasure.

EB Building Better Health: Aspirin Program

Are you a man 40 or older or awoman 50 or older who wants to preventheart and vascular disease?

If you answered yes, then you shouldknow that the U.S. Task force on Preven-tive Services has given the use of dailyaspirin an “A” recommendation. Thismeans that after stringent scientificreview of the risks versus the benefits, theuse of aspirin has benefits that far out-weigh the risks. In addition the AdvisoryCommittee on Immunization Practicessuggests a low dose aspirin (81 mg) takendaily decreases the risk of heart and vas-cular disease.

You should consider aspirin if:

� You are a man over 40 or a womanover 50

� You are a post menopausal woman

� You are an individual with high cho-

lesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes ora family history of heart disease

� You are a smoker

You should avoid aspirin if:

� You are hypersensitive to aspirin orother salicylates

� You have a bleeding disorder, inher-ited (hemophilia) or acquired (liver dis-ease)

� You have gastric irritation or gastroin-testinal bleeding/ulcers

� You have severe kidney dysfunction

� You are taking oral anti-coagulanttherapy (blood thinners) or specific dosesof methotrexate

� You ingest more than three alcoholicdrinks per day

You should consult a doctor prior totaking aspirin if:

� You are pregnant or lactating

� You are taking other medicines thatmay irritate your stomach like steroids ornon steroidal anti-inflammatory agents

� You are having surgery in one week

� You have aspirin-induced asthma

� You have impaired renal functionwith liver disease

� You are dehydrated due to other ill-nesses

� You take anti-coagulants, methotrex-ate, oral diabetic medicine, valproic acid,sulphonamides, probenecid, sulphinpyra-zone, barbiturates or sedatives
