On a cool and cloudy Saturday in late September, more than 2,500 employees, family members and Navy personnel filed into Electric Boat’s New Lon-don Office for the facility’s first open house.
Once inside, the visitors had the opportunity to tour the spaces occupied by some 2,800 engineers and designers dedicated to the production of nuclear submarines. On display throughout the day was the sense of pride and responsibility these employees take in their work.
Some 100 employees helped ensure the success of the event by volunteering to explain the various displays, demonstrations and exhibits and provide general staff support.
One of the most popular attractions was on the outside patio on the 6th floor of Tower C, where Photo Services took family and group portraits with the Groton shipyard in the background.

U.S. Navy Awards Electric Boat $459 Million for Nuclear-Sub Support Work
GROTON, Conn.
The U.S. Navy has awarded a $459 million contract modification to Electric Boat to provide planning yard work and engineering and techni-cal support for nuclear submarines. Under the terms of this award, Electric Boat will provide design, engineering and logistics support and research and development activities for active U.S. submarines and submersibles. Electric Boat will also provide information services and support submarine maintenance and modern-ization activities, training and affordability/cost reduction efforts.
Initially awarded in October 2010, the contract has a potential value of approximately $1.2 billion over three years if all options are exercised.
Navy Awards $100 Million to EB for Virginia-class Sub Work
Electric Boat has received a $100.4 million contract modification by the U.S. Navy to provide lead-yard services for Virginia-class nuclear-powered attack submarines.
Under the contract, Electric Boat will develop, maintain and update design draw-ings and data, including technology insertions, for each Virginia-class submarine throughout its construction and post-shakedown avail-ability periods. The contract has a potential cumulative value of $881 million through 2014 if all options are exercised and funded.
Navy Awards Electric Boat $94 Million to Plan USS Miami Fire Restoration
The U.S Navy has awarded Electric Boat a $94 million contract for advance planning and preliminary execution of fire-restoration efforts on USS Miami (SSN-755).
The USS Miami was damaged in a fire in May while it was in dry dock at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine, for a 20-month engineered overhaul. The fire-restoration efforts include assessment and analysis, planning and material procurement, fabrica-tion and initial installation, and are expected to be completed by June 2013. The contract includes an option which, if exercised, would bring the cumulative value to $100 million. Approximately 300 Electric Boat employees will be involved in the work, which will be done in coordination with the ongoing engineered overhaul of USS Miami at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery.
Bath Iron Works Receives $39 Million for DDG 1000-Class Services
BATH, Maine The U.S. Navy has awarded General Dynamics Bath Iron Works a $38.9 million modifi-
cation to a previously awarded contract to perform class and engineering services associ-ated with the detail design and construction of DDG 1000 Zumwalt-class ships.
Bath Iron Works will continue to provide manufacturing support services such as engi-neering, design, production control, accuracy control and information technology. Other class-support efforts include program management, contract and financial management, procurement and configuration/data management. The original contract was awarded in September 2011. Work is expected to be completed by October 2013.
BIW President Jeff Geiger said, “With all three Zumwalt-class ships now under con-struction, this award demonstrates the Navy’s continued confidence in Bath Iron Works. The contract enables us to continue supporting the construction of DDG 1000-class ships and allows us to maintain the critical shipyard skills needed to efficiently produce them. Zumwalt (DDG 1000) is over 60 percent complete and we are leveraging what we’ve learned in building the lead ship to support our DDG 1001 and 1002 construction efforts. We remain focused on delivering high-quality, affordable Bath-built ships to the U.S. Navy.”
The DDG 1000 Zumwalt-class destroyer is the U.S. Navy’s next-generation, guided-mis-sile naval destroyer, leading the way for a new generation of advanced multi-mission sur-face combat ships. The ships will feature a low radar profile, an integrated power system and a total ship computing environment infrastructure. Armed with an array of weapons, the Zumwalt-class destroyers will provide offensive, distributed and precision fires in sup-port of forces ashore.

KEVIN J. POITRAS AND RONALD E. ALLEN
R ONALD E. ALLEN (452) had been working four years at Electric Boat as a pipefitter
and had just finished the appren-tice program when he had an offer to join the Design force, and he walked up the hill to a new career in Building 197.
Today, Building 197 is largely vacant because so many design-ers and engineers have moved to EB’s New London office, but when Allen started in Design in 1966, it was not quite nine years old – newer than the New London Office is today.
“The time went by fast. I can’t believe it’s been 50 years since I started here,” Allen said.
Allen was recently honored by President KEVIN J. POITRAS and his staff at a breakfast where he received a watch and a 50-year ser-vice pin. Poitras and Allen were both in a Design golf league that was active in the 1980s, and both still play today – but Allen said these days his foursomes usually consist of EB retirees.
He said there’s no question that what has changed the most is the technology. Today everything is designed on computers. Back then, he jokes, “I was good with a pencil.”
There are more procedures to follow than when he started, as well, which means everything has to be documented and double checked to ensure no technical problems are missed, Allen said.
“Back then we could go down and sketch something up and come back, take it to a systems engineer to sign it, and get it down to the pipe shop the same day,” Allen said. “You can’t do that these days.”
Allen said his favorite jobs have always been acting as liaison,
which allows him to get back into the shipyard where he started. He still gets down there from time to time, but not nearly as much as he did on the Seawolf, when he was in the yard nearly continuously.
Engineering Director RON MEDRZYCHOWSKI said Allen has always been someone his co-workers could depend on.
“I could always count on Ron, could always work with him,” Medrzychowski said. “We could always get things resolved.”
He congratulated Allen on achieving the half-century mark at EB, and asked, “So, what do you think, 50 more?”
“Not that many more,” Allen said with a chuckle. “We’ll see.”
DESIGNER LOOKS BACK AT 50 YEARS AT ELECTRIC BOAT
FUTURE LEADER GROUP GRADUATES NEW CLASS
For Future Leader Group gradu-ate DAVID MACLELLAND (493), competition is an important part of
improving his skills, but it is who he com-petes against that makes a difference.
“The only person I need to be bet-ter than is the person I was yesterday,” Maclelland said. And he commended Electric Boat for offering a range of lead-ership training programs that includes FLG. “An investment in our professional development is an investment in Electric Boat’s future,” Mclelland said.
He was one of 29 graduates who earned diplomas after completing the 14-month FLG curriculum.
“When we started all I could think was that 14 months was such a long time,” said JESSE SILVA (924), another graduate.
“Where did 14 months go? It’s funny how fast our lives go by.”
Silva said he was impressed with the broad range of departments represented within the FLG, and how much more information he was able to pick up about the company through networking with his classmates.
RAYMOND CORMIER (271) said one of the most important aspects of the train-ing for him involved goal setting beyond what he could accomplish today or this week, establishing milestones he would like to reach in the next five or 10 years.
“The program has me looking further down the road,” Cormier said. “If you’re not setting goals, you’re not going to get there.”
STEVE LABRECQUE, director of
Safety, Training and Management Devel-opment, agreed: “If I give you 15 months of training in archery, it would be useless if you didn’t have a target.”
He said more than 5,000 EB employees have completed or are enrolled in one of the professional development programs at the shipyard.
“The company thinks this is important, all the way to the president,” LaBrecque said.
He stressed to the graduates that profes-sional development is a process that never ends, and encouraged them to seek out other opportunities to improve their skills.
LaBrecque said Stephen Covey, best known for his book “Seven Habits of Highly Effective People,” once used

TWO SUBMARINE MODULES SHIPPED FROM NEWPORT NEWS TO GROTON, QUONSET POINT
Two Virginia-class submarine modules
were moved simultaneously for the first
time last month between Newport News
Shipbuilding and the Groton shipyard and
the Quonset Point facility. The weapons module for
NORTH DAKOTA (SSN-784) was loaded onto
the Sea Shuttle, which is used for the two-plus-day
voyage to the Groton shipyard. Right behind it was
the module containing the auxiliary machine room
for JOHN WARNER (SSN-785), which was
headed to the Quonset Point facility. This increased
shipment capacity supports the U.S. Navy’s two-
submarines-per-year build rate.

You probably know him as “the cat that won’t cop out when there’s danger all about.” Yes, I’m talking about Shaft, the iconic private detective from the 1970s action films of the same name. The womanizing, leather-clad, maverick P.I. was a symbol of hard-edged masculinity for a generation. But there’s much more to him than what
his tough-guy exterior might suggest.For starters, Roundtree is a breast cancer survivor. As a spokesman for what is
generally considered a woman’s disease, he proves that tough men are not immune to breast cancer.
And he says that “if ‘Shaft’ can survive, there’s hope that you can as well.” Can you dig it?
Roundtree is currently an ambassador for Susan G. Komen for the Cure.The organization Roundtree represents is part of a collaboration of national public services, medical organizations, and government groups working to promote breast cancer awareness, share information, and provide greater access to services. Collaboration members are:
P AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY – dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problemP AMERICAN COLLEGE OF OBSTETRICIANS AND GYNECOLOGISTS – nation’s leading group of professionals on care for womenP AMERICAN COLLEGE OF RADIOLOGY – medical specialty of radiologists, radia-tion oncologists, and medical physicistsP THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF CLINICAL ONCOLOGY – professional organiza-tion for those that care for people with cancerP THE AMERICAN MEDICAL WOMEN’S ASSOCIATION – voice for women’s health and advancement of women in medicineP ASTRAZENECA HEALTHCARE FOUNDATION – not for profit corporation that promotes awareness and education on medical issuesP CANCERCARE – helps individuals cope and manage the emotional and practi-cal challenges from cancer including counseling, educational workshops, and financial assistance.P MEN AGAINST BREAST CANCER – provides support to men as care givers, as impacted by a loved one’s breast cancer, and mobilizes men to eradicate breast cancerP NATIONAL MEDICAL ASSOCIATION – educational and scientific organization representing African American physicians and their patientsP THE ONCOLOGY NURSING SOCIETY – committed to the excellence of oncologi-cal nursing P PREVENT CANCER FOUNDATION – mission is to prevent cancer through scien-tific research and educationP SUSAN G.

to assist with saving lives and protecting people by answering questions on medical topics. The following is a sample of questions and answers by the CDC regarding breast cancer awareness.
IS BREAST CANCER THE MOST COMMON CAUSE OF DEATH FOR WOMEN? No, although many women get breast cancer, it is not a common cause of death. The list of causes of death in women over forty are: heart disease, stroke, lung cancer, and lung diseases. The CDC lists breast cancer as the fifth leading cause of death.WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF BREAST CANCER? Initially breast cancer is small with nothing to feel and without signs and symptoms. As the breast cancer grows the look and feel of the breast can change. Symptoms include a new lump in the breast or underarm, thickening of breast tissue, irritation or dimpling to the breast tissue, redness or flaky skin on the breast or nipple, pulling, nipple discharge such as milk or blood, any change in size or shape, and pain.WHAT IS A MAMMOGRAM? A mammogram is an x-ray of the breast. There is an ongoing debate about when and how often women should have screening mammograms. A minimum of a screening mammogram should be done after age 50 every two years. However, most doctors still recom-mend more frequent screening such as yearly after the age of 40. Regular mammograms are the best test to find early breast cancer. Some cancer can be seen on mammogram about three years prior to being able to palpate the cancer. When breast cancer is found early, many women can live longer and healthier.HOW CAN I LOWER MY RISK OF BREAST CANCER? Breast cancer risk may be lowered by:
P Controlling weight and exercisingP Knowing your family history of breast cancerP Finding out about the risks and benefits of hormone replacement therapyP Limiting the amount of alcohol consumed
CAN MEN GET BREAST CANCER? Men can get breast cancer but it is less common.
So what actions can Electric Boat employees and families take? First, ensure that all the females in your family over age 40 are getting a screening mammogram. Anyone at particularly high risk for breast cancer should seek a medical care provider for a personalized screening program.
Other resources available through the company are UnitedHealthcare can-cer resource service/cancer support at 1-866-936-6002 and wellness coach-ing at 1-800-478-1057. These are just a few of the many options for increas-ing awareness and participation in maintaining your health.

ZATIONS, AND GOVERNMENT GROUPS WORKING TO PROMOTE

woodcutting as a metaphor for any kind of work – you won’t make any money if you aren’t cutting wood, but if you never take time out to sharpen your saw you put in more and more effort for less and less return.
