By MC1(AW) Peter D. Blair

GROTON, Conn. – Submarine Force Library and Museum (SFLM) Sailors and guests bid a fond farewell to Officer in Charge (OIC) Commander Gregory Caskey as he turned over the helm of Historic Ship Nautilus and the museum to Lieutenant Commander Robert Sawyer during a change in charge ceremony in the museum’s main hall, April 5.

“Because of Commander Caskey’s leadership,” said Captain Mark Vanye, Commanding Of f icer , Regional Support Group Groton and the ceremony’s guest speaker, “the public we serve knows a little bit more about our history and the contributions of the sub-

marine force.” During Caskey’s tenure as

the Nautilus’ OIC, the muse-um has made significant strides to broaden the muse-ums visitor programs and to improve the museum’s appeal through more exhib-its, remarked Vanye dur-ing the ceremony. Caskey hired an educational spe-cialist to steward a relation-ship between SFLM and the surrounding schools. In the past year, more than 15,000 student visitors toured the site and participated in such special programs as building a model submarine, making ship battle flags, and hosting a safe Halloween adventure for local area children every year.

USS Memphis sails for the final time into retirement By Lt. Patrick Evans

Submarine Group 2 Public Affairs Officer

PORTSMOUTH NAVAL SHIPYARD - Los Angeles-class attack submarine USS Memphis

(SSN 691) and her crew of 13 officers and 121 enlisted person-nel arrived at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PNSY) in Maine, April 7, to complete the process of being retired from the U.S. Navy fleet.

The journey to the shipyard began a day before, when Memphis departed Naval Submarine Base New London (SUBASE) for the final time. Before arriving at the shipyard, Memphis celebrated her proud 33-year history during

a decommissioning ceremony at SUBASE’s Shepherd of the Sea Chapel, April 1.

Next, Memphis will be dis-mantled. Once her power plant is emptied of fuel, the submarine is officially decommissioned and remaining crew is released for other assignments.

In her more than three decades of service, Memphis steamed more than 1.4 million miles, the equivalent of circumnavigating the globe nearly 60 times. She also won the coveted Battenberg Cup in 2005 as the best overall ship in the fleet. In addition, she received numerous modifica-tions. She returned from a two-month deployment overseas sup-porting missions in the European Command area of responsibility, March 2.

“In less than a year from (now), Memphis Sailors will be serving on submarines and shore commands throughout the fleet,” Commander Jeffrey Joseph, Memphis’ current commanding officer said during the decommis-sioning ceremony. “So, while it is hard to see such an accomplished ship head off to decommission-

ing, it is heartening to know that the fighting spirit of the Mighty Memphis will continue to contrib-ute to the defense of our nation in every corner of the globe for many years to come, adding to an already significant legacy.”

Joseph grew up in Peoria, Ill., and St. Louis, Mo., earning his degree in Nuclear Engineering at the University of Illinois. He com-pleted his division officer tour onboard USS Kamehameha (SSN 642) and served as Navigator and Operations Officer on USS Buffalo (SSN 715). He later served as Executive Officer onboard USS Louisville (SSN 724) and assumed command of Memphis in March 2011. He is a graduate of the Naval War College, and holds a graduate degree in National Security and Strategic Studies.

The Navy’s fourth Los Angeles-class nuclear-powered attack submarine and sixth U.S. Naval vessel to be named in honor of the city of Memphis, Tenn., Memphis was built by Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company.

Memphis’ host community is Kittery, Maine.

FRA announces events, meetings

The Department of the Navy announced today the award of $10.8 million to scientists and engineers at 18 academic insti-tutions as part of the Office of Naval Research (ONR) 2011 Young Investigator Program (YIP).

“The Young Investigator Program is an important part of the Department of the Navy’s science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) out-reach programs,” said Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus. “To

our benefit, it attracts outstand-ing new faculty researchers to naval-relevant research. The program also plays a major role in the Navy’s outreach efforts by supporting diverse faculty at a critical point in their careers.”

The YIP award identifies and supports academic scientists and engineers who have obtained their doctorate, or equivalent degrees, and tenure-track posi-tions within the past five years. Winners maintain the commit-ment of their educational insti-

tution to nurture and grow their professional development.

The Navy selected 21 pro-posals from more than 270 applications received last year. Awarded for compelling research with the potential to deliver game-changing naval science and technology, recipi-ents will receive approximately $170,000 in annual research grants for three years. A list of the 2011 YIP winners can be found at http://go.usa.gov/2mC.

The YIP award program was launched by ONR in 1985, offering 10 grants of $50,000 each to promising researchers. The naval command has since expanded the program, naming 554 recipients representing 118 institutions of higher education to attract outstanding profes-sors to the Department of the Navy’s research program.

Silent Services Charities Auction benefits NMCRS

Angela Hatch (left) and Brigitte Nelcoski (right) present Naval Submarine Base New London’s (SUBASE) Navy and Marine Corps Relief Society director, Tami Scace with a donation from the Silent Services Charities Auction. The auction, made possible through the combined efforts of the chief petty officer and officer wives of SUBASE, raises money for the Dolphin Scholarship Fund as well as other local charities. The funds will be used to assist Navy and Marine Corps active duty service members, retirees, and their families in their time of financial need. Funds are also raised during the months of March and April by service members donating funds to their Active Duty Fund Drive. The fund drive volun-teer coordinator for 2011 is MM1 Rocco Rende who can be reached at (860) 694-4475.

Editor’s note: The director of PSD New London has passed along the following key infor-mation for Sailors and their

families to be aware of regard-ing this upcoming payday.

DFAS will pay the military in full at the next regular payday

- Friday, April 15. But there will be two bank deposits for each member.

The normal day to begin the mil-itary pay run was last Thursday, April 7. Facing a shutdown and possible furloughs, DFAS ran the payday for the period April 1 to 8. Interim leave and earning state-ments (LES) were generated for this period.

With a shutdown and furlough for this period now averted, DFAS

will run a second, semi-manual pay for the period April 9 through 15. Both deposits will go into member accounts April 15.

This semi-manual run will not automatically revise the LES. So the mid-month, interim LES will only show pay for April 1 to 8. The month-end LES will be complete for the entire month.

If Sailors or family members have a question or concern, they are encouraged to contact PSD.

PSD alerts service members to unique twist in upcoming payday

The Holland Club will have their monthly luncheon, April 19 at 11:30 a.m., at the clubhouse.

All brunches, lunches, and dinners are only open to members of U.S. SUBVETS and their guests.

Eligible candidates for the SUBVETS Groton Base Scholarships must have their scholarship applications submitted by April 15.

For directions, costs or additional information about SUBVETS Groton or any of the above events, contact the SUBVETS Groton Base Commander John Carcioppolo at (860) 514-7064 or e-mail commander@subvetsgroton.org.

The SUBVETS Anniversary Weekend is scheduled May 5 through 7. It includes a golf tournament, luncheon, and Return to Submarine School Tour, submarine tour, memorial service, and Grand Banquet. Attendees and sponsors are welcome and must be registered by April 29. All profits go towards the Groton Base Scholarship Fund which is a 501(c)3 charitable organization. Don’t miss out on a fun time or an opportunity to support a great tax deductible program.

U.S. Submarine Veterans Inc. is a national organization of more than 13,000 members. Groton Base alone has over 2078 members already for 2011. The only requirement for membership is to be designated qualified in submarines and pay the applicable amount for dues. Membership is open to active duty enlisted personnel and officers as well as all retired or non-career submariners.

SUBVETS announce upcoming events

Theodore Roosevelt said, “Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.” Those are appropriate words to describe the work of the 3,500 Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society volunteers who give selflessly throughout the year on Navy and Marine Corps bases around the world. During the past year, our safety net touched nearly one in every five Sailors and Marines as we disbursed nearly $50 million in interest-free loans and grants in response to 100,000 requests for help. The tradition of caring for and serving others has been passed from generation to generation of Society volunteers, and volunteers remain the heart of our organization. I thank you for your dedication and hard work, and I am grateful to you for the lives you touch and the spirits you lift every day. It is, indeed, work worth doing.

USS Providence (SSN 719)returns from deployment

By Lt. Patrick EvansSubmarine Group 2 Public Affairs Officer

GROTON, Conn. - Los Angeles-class attack sub-marine USS Providence (SSN 719) returned to Naval Submarine Base New London, April 8, follow-ing a regularly scheduled deployment.

During her deployment, which began Oct 8, 2010, Providence was called upon to assist in operations in support of Joint Task Force

(JTF) Odyssey Dawn, “We set out on a rou-

tine deployment, just like any of these other boats,” Commander Raymond Gabriel, commanding offi-cer of Providence, said along the pier at the submarine base. “The crew performed exactly the way we were trained and did everything that the president and our commanders wanted us to do.”

JTF Odyssey Dawn, a U.S. Africa Command task force

established to provide oper-ational and tactical com-mand and control of U.S. military forces supporting the international response to the unrest in Libya and enforcement of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973, was dises-tablished March 30.

While deployed, Providence visited ports in Spain, Turkey and Gibraltar. Also seven babies were born to crew members while the submarine was away.

Fast-attack submarines

like Providence have multi-faceted missions. They use their stealth, persistence, agility and firepower to deploy and support special force operations, disrupt and destroy an adversary’s military and economic oper-ations at sea, provide early strike from close proximity, and ensure undersea supe-riority.

Providence was commis-sioned on July 27, 1995. She is the fifth U.S. Navy warship named for the cap-itol of Rhode Island.

ber of other accomplishments to Caskey: a new sound system on the ship; updates to the museum’s theater; the muse-um’s ceremony to recognize and honor the first submariner astronaut; the establishment of Cafe 90 North (an outdoor café in the SFLM parking lot); the celebration of Nautilus’ 50th anniversary of its historic journey to the North Pole; the temporary exhibit highlighting the history of the Navy’s only nuclear powered research sub-marine NR-1.

Through it all Vanye noted that Caskey and his crew con-ducted comprehensive paint-ing and preservation from “top to bottom,” and successfully passed every inspection for the first time since 2003.

“I would be remiss if I didn’t share almost all of the credit and that starts with the crew,” said Caskey. The Nautilus crew “keep the Nautilus in top shape and open to the public on a daily basis...to you the crew, I say well done, and thank you,” said Caskey.

“Our civilian staff also deserves special recognition

for providing the real exper-tise in running the museum...the job they do is always done flawlessly.”

After the official turnover, the new Nautilus OIC, Sawyer, spoke about his plans to con-tinue the work completed by Caskey.

“His significant progress in the areas of preservation and maintenance will ensure Nautilus is available for gen-erations yet to come,” said Sawyer. “I’m honored to be in a position to preserve and improve this legacy for future generations and I look forward to working with an outstand-ing crew and staff to accom-plish this important mission.”

Nautilus is the showpiece of the nuclear submarine force, as the world’s first nuclear-powered submarine it gives SFLM’s visitors a rare look into the Navy’s history. The boat offers museum visitors the opportunity to experience first hand the daily routine of submariner’s during the cold war.

“We call Nautilus the door-step to the submarine force,”

said Rear Admiral Michael Mclaughlin, Commander Submarine Group 2. “We show the public what the Navy, and particularly the subma-rine force, are like through Nautilus. And I’ve got to tell you, I’ve never been disap-pointed the entire time Greg’s been here.”

Nautilus welcomes more than 150,000 patrons a year, from retired veterans and their families to school chil-dren from Connecticut and across New England. The museums greeters, subma-rine veterans themselves, take pride in standing the watch at Nautilus.

“When I was in [Sawyer’s] position,” said Caskey. “I said ‘I can already tell this place was special. It turned out, I was right but I had missed the mark just a lit-tle bit. This place is special, not just because of Nautilus, but because the people who are drawn to it are special. The people who celebrate this museum are larger than life, and it is they, the visitors that make this place so special.”
