When three World War II Submarine Veterans incorporated United States Submarine Veterans 47 years ago this week, Fred Borgmann was in North Idaho training under the father of the nuclear Navy on the prototype S5G reac-tor of the USS Narwhal (SSN-671).

Decades would pass before he joined the sub vets and settled into their mission of perpetual remembrance of the 4,000 souls on “eternal patrol” with America’s silent service.

Today, a retired Mustang with a sto-

ried career, Borgmann mans the national office of the 13,000-member organization who’s primary mission is to remember the lives lost since the first submarine program started 100 years ago.

At Thursday’s “Tolling the Boats” Borgmann and scores of his brothers, active and retired, joined the staff of the Naval Underseas Museum and the public for the museum’s annual Memorial Day observance to remember the 52 subma-rines lost in World War II – only two have been lost since the close of the war.

In the large gathering of sub vets was World War II submarine John Baker serving as the day’s patriarch. Baker’s first patrol was in 1944, more than a decade before the next senior sub vet in atten-dance.

Commanding officer of the USS Louisiana Joseph Turk, speaking at the ceremony, said, that today’s submariners all benefit from the lessons learned as the submariners of World War II developed protocol and standards that became the base of today’s silent service.

Turk remembered the great boats in

terms of their damage to Japanese ship-ping and Navy. The USS Wahoo and the USS Barb with 100,000 tons sunk. The greatest of all, the USS Tang, sank 31 ships destroying 200,000 tons of shipping.

US Submarine forces in World War II represented two percent of naval forces, but sank 55 percent of all shipping, Turk said.

“It came at a cost,” he said.Unlike all other military fraternal

organizations in the US, perpetuating memory is the the mission of the USSV as set down my the organization’s found-ers. The VFW and American Legion along with a host of Navy social clubs and brotherhoods spend most of their energy and clout on improving the lives of veterans and lobbying congress to their benefit.

The sub vets begin every meeting with a tolling for boats lost historically in each month. They host scholarships on local and national levels to keep their brothers’ names alive. When they can, they build

The Bremerton Parks and Recreation board of commissioners Tuesday criticized conceptual plans for the Kitsap 9/11 Memorial in Evergreen Park as grandiose, East Coast-centric and lack-ing any connection to Bremerton or Kitsap County.

“I still believe in this, but it’s got to be Bremerton–Kitsap County,” parks commis-sioner Chris Warthen said.

Beyond the larger message to do something about the park’s “uncomfortable” design, overall size and classic safety concerns, park com-

EVERETT, WASH. (NNS) – Emergency response teams at Naval Station Everett coordinated with the city of Everett’s Fire Department and other local community authorities during the base’s annual emergency response exercise, ‘Reliant Cloud,’ May 25.

The scenario simulated a landslide caused by heavy rain, resulting in a railway tanker car sliding onto the base and rupturing, releas-ing a toxic chemical cloud.

Navy Federal Fire Department, Everett Branch Medical Clinic, and the City of Everett Fire Department responded to the incident and mock casualties.

“The main focuses here are to evaluate our capabil-ity to effectively respond to and mitigate a hazardous material spill situation and also to build on our work-

ing relationship with our local mutual aid partners, who we rely on heavily,” said Lt.j.g. Derek Olsen, Everett Branch Medical Clinic’s emergency response manager.

During the exercise, vol-unteer mock victims who had come in contact with the toxic chemical cloud were assessed by local fire-fighters and received treat-ment through a decontami-nation station set up at the base medical clinic.

Firefighters secured the area and made reports to naval authorities.

“It’s an ongoing process and we’re continuously expanding and evaluating, looking for new opportuni-ties to improve our response services both inside and outside the gate,” said Navy Region Northwest Fire and Emergency Services

Assistant Chief Paul Snider. After the exercise mem-

bers regrouped for debrief-ing.

“Overall the exercise ran very smoothly, and I’m con-fident that we’re prepared in the event of an actual

emergency,” said Mike Lingrey, division chief, City of Everett Fire Department.

“I was very impressed with our coordination and ability to work hand-in-hand with the City of Everett,” said Snider.

USS JOHN C. STENNIS, AT SEA (NNS) – The John C. Stennis Carrier Strike Group held a change of command ceremony aboard the ship May 24.

Rear Adm. Craig Faller relieved Rear Adm. Joseph Aucoin as commander, CSG 3.

As commander, CSG 3, Aucoin led USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) to complete its planned incremental availability maintenance phase of deployment preparation and to be guided out of the shipyards directly into the workup pro-cess. Together, with the CSG, Aucoin oversaw completion of tailored ship’s training availabil-ity, the final evaluation problem and the Navy’s Board of Inspection and Survey from January to February 2011.

Vice Adm. Gerald Beaman, commander

U.S. 3rd Fleet, presented the Legion of Merit to Aucoin in recognition of his efforts and the prog-ress made during his time as the commander of CSG 3.

“I really do wish I was going on this deploy-ment,” said Aucoin. “I envy the heck out of you. I think I’ll be living vicariously through you guys. You’re really going to have a terrific deploy-ment, and I can’t wait to hear all the good news coming from you all.”

Faller is reporting to CSG 3 after success-fully completing a tour as commander, Navy Recruiting Command. Faller, a Pennsylvania native and U.S. Naval Academy graduate, earned his Bachelor of Science in systems engi-neering in 1983. He then earned his master’s in national security affairs

strategic planning from the Naval Postgraduate School in 1990.

In a brief speech, Faller detailed expecta-tions for the CSG as well as expectations for himself.

“We are warfight-ers,” said Faller. “This takes teamwork, hard work, training and trust. And who do I trust? I trust you. And now it’s my turn to earn your trust. We all might ask ourselves, ‘Who trusts us?’ America trusts us! To deliver. To be ready, on time, first time and every time - and we will,” said Faller.

Faller is now leading the John C. Stennis CSG during its composite training unit exercise, a set of tests to prepare the CSG for long-term engagements overseas during an upcoming deployment.

There is more than one holiday to honor those who served our country in the military. There is one, however, Memorial Day, that is reserved to remember those who didn’t make it back home.

It is not just a day to recognize what was lost, however, but what was gained.

But in order to appreciate the preciousness of the free-doms and security we have, it is necessary, perhaps, to attempt to fathom the loss.

In the case of the baby boomers, many fathers cheered at ball games and yelled when report cards came home because they walked away from places like Normandy and Guadalcanal.

Some didn’t walk away, but made it anyway.Today, there are households that will never bustle, bed-

time stories that will never be read, whole lifetimes of love and disappointment that will never be lived. These people, these lives, these loves, simply put, will never exist.

When one considers it, the sacrifice made by our fallen veterans, from Iraq to the Revolutionary War, is almost inconceivable.

There are generations who were not born, and will not be born, doctors, presidents, poets, because at some point, their fathers and mothers were called upon to serve their country.

Many reading this right now would not be here, would never have existed, if our father or grandfather was a tad less lucky, or had been called upon to make the ultimate sacrifice in defense of his country.

That sacrifice, so that we can have presidents and poets, is a loss and it is tragic. But all of us, veterans, the children of veterans, are linked to those who did not make it back home.

We can find their legacy, if we look, when we vote, when we read the newspaper, when we go to church.

It is not a day to lament the lost potential, the human opportunity cost, but to take the time to fully appreciate what our fallen soldiers and sailors gave to us, a gift we enjoy every day because somebody paid for it with their life.

Our freedom is their legacy

Most people equate the last Monday in May with barbecues, mattress sales and a day off of work. In fact, just last week, my son said, “We have no school on Monday because it is Memorial Day.” Beginning at the end of the Civil War, however, Memorial Day was intended to be a time to remember men (and now, women) of the armed forces who have died in service to our country. So I corrected my son: “It is Memorial Day because people in the military have died for us. And that is why you have no school on Monday.”

Granted, this is a hard thing to keep in mind. We are bombarded with sales f lyers, party sup-plies and advertisements that blur the lines between remembrance and celebration. Indeed, for many people, I think Memorial Day has become a second Fourth of July. Consider: Should we have fireworks at both? Should we wear funny hats and blow noise makers in May and July?

The true meaning of Memorial Day was prob-ably easier to recall during history’s greatest wars, when soldiers by the hundreds were dying overseas, and almost no family was unaffected. Then, on the last Monday in May, people proba-

bly didn’t feel like celebrating. They felt like remembering.

Military life and its sacri-fices have less reach today. And although we have lost thousands of troops in Afghanistan and Iraq, even those numbers are overshad-owed by the death toll of other wars. But military men and women serve in war and

in peace, and there is danger in both. Aviators, in particular (although definitely not alone), risk their lives even when they are “just” training in the United States. Off hand, I can think of several friends who have died in plane crashes that did not involve combat: Frank, Dustin’s friend from the Naval Academy; Adam, who helped plan Dustin’s bachelor party; Nick, who sat behind me in Spanish class in high school; and Clint, who died while his wife was pregnant with their third child. Deaths like these, as well as the ones that happen overseas and in a war, shake a community. The neighbors and friends of these men won’t soon forget the real meaning behind Memorial Day. But, unfortunately, in our atomized, status-update society, that influ-ence has diminished.

Memorial Day losing its meaning for some

POULSBO (NNS) – Following weeks of design-and-build time under the tutelage of local Navy personnel, North Kitsap students put their remotely operated marine robots to the test in the pool.

North Kitsap School District in partnership with Naval Undersea Warfare Center, Division Keyport; and Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility held a Remotely Operated Vehicle Pool Event at the North Kitsap Community Pool on May 20.

Students from North Kitsap High School and district middle schools participated in a variety of challenges to test the ROV’s they spent sev-eral weeks designing and building in their class-rooms. The pool event is the last step in the ROV program, where students put their hard work and skills to the test for the first time; this is a day they all look forward. Watching these geniuses (a.k.a. students) at work quickly proved an ROV is definitely not a “tub toy;” the use of robotics in a learning environment has sure come a long way!

Laurie Musick, a retiree from NUWC, Division Keyport, and this year’s program lead for Poulsbo Middle School has been a volunteer, along with her husband, to mentor students in the classrooms and during pool events.

“You watch their face

when they first put the [ROV] in the water and start operating and meet-ing the challenge,” shared Musick. “That is really the ‘ah ha’ moment.”

JC Benson, eighth grad-er from Poulsbo Middle School, was enjoying piloting the ROV he put together.

“I really just liked mak-ing it and seeing it all come together,” he said. “It was a good feeling.”

Benson is one of more than 900 students throughout Kitsap County who participated in the SeaPerch and ROV pro-grams in 2011.

“In the beginning I thought engineering was really boring, but now I found it is really fun,” Benson said.

“At first I wasn’t sure about it,” shared Amelia Cain, eighth grader from Kingston Middle School. “As soon as I started work-ing on [the ROV] I just thought ‘this is so much fun.’ It was like I was meant to do it.”

The ROV program for high school students, and SeaPerch for junior high students, is designed to stimulate interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math, or STEM.

“This is a great example of community partner-ships and school partner-ships coming together,” stated Patrick Olsen, Director of Career and Technical Education for North Kitsap School District. “These students know the material and

know how to apply it. They are students you give something to and they are going to work through it; they won’t quit on you, they have a work ethic that I have to get it done.”

The ROV program includes volunteers from throughout the area, including employees from North Kitsap School District, NUWC, Division Keyport, several retirees and PSNS & IMF who have provided techni-cal assistance to the high school and middle school students throughout the evolution. Even the PSNS & IMF divers joined the fun by providing encour-agement to the students and assistance to tangled and stranded ROVs from the depths of the pool.

Stephen Mastel, PSNS & IMF electrician and a co-lead for the Navy’s ROV outreach program is

amazed at what these stu-dents accomplish.

“Working with the kids is awesome,” he said. It is very exciting to see how [the students] get excited about solving problems, and when they have design flaws they overcome them.”

The ROV and SeaPerch programs have reached students in the Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Central Kitsap, North Kitsap and South Kitsap school dis-tricts.

EVERETT, WASH. (NNS) – Emergency response teams at Naval Station Everett coordinated with the city of Everett’s Fire Department and other local com-munity authorities during the base’s annual emergency response exercise, ‘Reliant Cloud,’ May 25.

The scenario simulated a landslide caused by heavy rain, resulting in a railway tanker car sliding onto the base and rupturing, releasing a toxic chemi-cal cloud.

Navy Federal Fire Department, Everett Branch Medical Clinic, and the City of Everett Fire Department responded to the simulated incident and resulting mock injuries and casu-alties.

“The main focuses here are to evalu-ate our capability to effectively respond to and mitigate a hazardous material spill situation and also to build on our working relationship with our local mutual aid partners, who we rely

on heavily,” said Lt.j.g. Derek Olsen, Everett Branch Medical Clinic’s emer-gency response manager.

During the exercise, volunteer mock victims who had come in contact with the toxic chemical cloud were assessed by local firefighters and received treat-ment through a decontamination sta-tion set up at the base medical clinic.

Firefighters thoroughly investigated the scene, secured the area and made reports to naval authorities.

“It’s an ongoing process and we’re continuously expanding and evaluat-ing, looking for new opportunities to improve our response services both inside and outside the gate,” said Navy Region Northwest Fire and Emergency Services Assistant Chief Paul Snider.

After the exercise, all team members involved regrouped for debriefing and an evaluation of their performance.

“Overall the exercise ran very smoothly, and I’m confident that we’re prepared in the event of an actual emergency,” said Mike Lingrey, division chief, City of Everett Fire Department.

“I was very impressed with our coordination and ability to work hand-in-hand with the City of Everett,” said Snider.

SAN DIEGO (NNS) – The Naval School of Health Sciences, San Diego, offi-cially marked the end of more than 80 years of train-ing during a disestablish-ment ceremony at the Naval Medical Center San Diego campus May 25.

NSHS San Diego will relocate its programs to Fort Sam Houston, Texas, and become part of the Tri-service Medical Education and Training Campus as part of the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure commission initiative. The consolidation of Navy, Army and Air Force medi-cal enlisted training is the largest in Department of Defense history, making METC the world’s largest military medical education and training institution.

“Today marks the end of an era, so we pause to recog-nize the rich legacy of your past, reflect on your accom-plishments, and highlight your future legacy at METC in Fort Sam Houston, Texas,” said Rear Adm. Eleanor Valentin, com-mander of Navy Medicine Support Command and the ceremony keynote speaker. “Each of you will leave a legacy in the form of the Hospital Corpsmen you have trained. Your legacy is and will be training those who ensure the medical

readiness of the greatest naval force in the world.”

Navy enlisted medi-cal training in San Diego began when the West Coast Hospital Corps School moved from Naval Training Station San Francisco in 1928. The San Diego school was later closed from 1932-1935 and has resided in several locations since then. Advanced classes were taught at Hospital Corps School until the school’s evolved mission resulted in the formal recognition of the Naval School of Health Sciences July 1, 1974.

Still, the NSHS disestab-lishment does not end all enlisted medical training at the NSHS San Diego facili-ties. Some Surface Warfare Medical Institute and advanced dental techni-cian classes will be taught in the NSHS building. The remainder of the spaces will be used by the Naval Medical Center San Diego.

Both staff and students said they will miss the histo-ry and tradition of advanced enlisted medical training in San Diego, but all agreed that the San Antonio con-solidation is a good move.

“I’m excited that I’m grad-uating, but I’m also kind of sad,” said Hospitalman John Betts, a Slidell, La., native who will graduate in June from the final NSHS

San Diego Medical Lab Technician class. “It’s been a tradition that everybody comes to San Diego at the Naval School of Health Sciences for MLT training.”

Lt. Cmdr. Ronald V. Bajet, MLT program department head, said the two greatest benefits of consolidation with METC are standard-ization and cost effective-ness.

“Having the enlisted personnel from the Army, Navy, and Air Force learn their technical special-ties in the same classroom standardizes training,” said Bajet, a Corpus Christi, Texas, native. “In an opera-tional setting, there is the possibility of laboratory technicians, radiology tech-nicians or surgical techni-cians working alongside each other. By consolidating the training, this leaves no question as to what each other knows technically.”

“I watched the dises-tablishment ceremony of our sister school, NSHS in Portsmouth, Va., in May last year,” said Capt. Debra Ryken, NSHS command-ing officer said. “I heard Admiral Robinson say it’s not a sad time because it’s moving into the future. We set the foundation for the direction military medicine will go in the future. So, it’s not sad. It’s good.”

memorials to keep alive members lost to the sea or battle. Other times, they give money to help memorial projects across the county.

Two local memorials accessible to the general pub-lic include the sails from USS Sturgeon, lead ship of a class of 37 nuclear fast attack submarines, at the Underseas Museum and the USS Parche at the Puget Sound Navy Museum in Downtown Bremerton. The USS Triton is in Benton along the Columbia River near the Tri-Cities. Several others exist on NBK, out of public view.

Most of the names come from the 52 subs lost in World War II. Throughout the Cold War that shortly followed the 1945 peace and into today’s regional oper-ations, only two more have been lost – USS Thresher and USS Scorpion.

Borgmann said that the sub vets consider every qualified submariner as a shipmate and thats that. To keep them alive it’s parades and memorials along with tollings.

Tomorrow they’ll be at a small ceremony to be held at the Kitsap County Coroner’s office to honor a few indigent shipmates on eternal patrol before their final trip and internment at Tahoma National Cemetery.

missioners were primarily worried over plans to deal with future costs and main-tenance of the memorial, which officials described as an expensive proposition.

Park’s commission chair John Larson said the memo-rial plans, as presented, covered more than twice the land offered in a section of the park known as the “chevron property,” at the north end of Highland Ave.

Of the 1,000 other 9/11 memorials planned across the nation, Larson said he couldn’t find another as big as the Kitsap 9/11 Memorial.

“The scope is significant,” Larson said.

Regardless of voiced concerns by commission-ers, the board voted 6-2 to forward the conceptual memorial plans to the city council for all future action and directed the 9/11 memo-rial committee to consider making changes that bring Bremerton and Kitsap County into the design. The two no votes came from Larson and commissioner Joan Dingfield.

Fergus said he accepted the critique of preliminary design as constructive. Fergus further noted that a non-profit organization was created and has given a 10-year memorial steward-ship commitment to the city and that the memorial was not as big as it seemed on paper.

The first draft plans include the use of 150 tiles made by local school chil-dren on the 10th anniversary of the attack, but is mainly

centered on two 20-foot sec-tions twisted iron girders placed vertically at the center of a controlled approach through ground-zero-rubble inspired walls inscribed with stories of heroic acts com-mitted during and after the attack. Fergus collected and edited the stories.

“There is something about the steel from ground zero,” Fergus said. “People want to touch it.”

Seen from above, a retain-ing wall mimics the shape of jet wings left in one wall of the towers before the col-lapse. Plans also include a pool of water to reflect upon the changes to American society since 9/11, such as development of TSA and Department of Homeland Security as well as immigra-tion policy changes.

“It reflects all that hap-pened that day,” Fergus said.

Dingfield said she regard-ed the stories proposed to cover the rubble walls as government propaganda and questioned whether or not the community would really want to reflect on the TSA or immagration change.

“It’s off-the-shelf New York PR machine content,” Dingfield said.

Referring to the thou-sands of active duty military families and defense workers that call the Bremerton area home, Dingfield asked the Fergus and 9/11 memorial design committee to consid-er that two-thirds of Kitsap County was directly reacted in some way to the attack and perhaps include some stories from Kitsap County as the memorial design develops further.

Combating the argu-ments against the New York-focused theme, Fergus said it is exactly the New York 9/11 story and experience that he wants his children and oth-ers’ in Bremerton bremerton.

“Heroes and acts of hero-ism,” he said.

Public comment reached a heated peak when retired American Airlines pilot Jerry McDonald interrupted Bremerton resident Jane Rebelowski as she questioned the memorial committee and the city for putting the memorial in Evergreen Park in the first place. McDonald insisted Rebelowski’s dis-approval of the plans was wrong headed. The memo-rial as planned would be a foundation for the rebuilding of a Bremerton that existed in before the 1980s.

Memorial committee treasurer Corrine Beach said she likes the New York focus of the initial design. Many people will not ever get to

New York to see the monu-ment there, she said. It was an attack on the entire coun-try not just the East Coast, she said.

The entire memorial project has evolved around the arrival of two pieces of steel girders from the World Trade Center wreck-age acquired by the Central Kitsap Fire and Rescue. Agreements made with 9/11 families, in order to acquire the historical arti-facts, require the metal to be available to the public in an open, accessible and touch-able manner. All along the memorial committee has said the wish to honor New York’s version of that day.

After being twice turned down to build the memo-rial at other locations, the committee appealed to Bremerton, which awarded the park land to the organi-zation in a 9-0 vote before any design or planning stage began.

JOINT BASE PEARL HARBOR-HICKAM (NNS) – Emiko Coughlin, a Navy spouse from U.S. Pacific Fleet, together with the COMPACFLT Officers’ Spouses Club hosted the Kizuna 5K fun run/walk, May 21 to benefit those affected by the Japanese earthquake and tsunami last March 2011.

More than 160 service

members and families par-ticipated in the fun run and raised more than $4,000 in proceeds to be donated to the American Red Cross.

“I am from Sendai,” said Coughlin. “I continue to receive frequent phone calls from my parents who still live in the area. Sendai was devastated by the earth-quake and tsunami. Those who remain continue to

face great hardship. I felt strongly that I wanted to help the people of Sendai. Not only did I want to raise funds for the recovery effort, I wanted to send hope and encouragement.”

The fun run consisted of two laps around the old Ford Island runway. Participants received T-shirts after the run.

“I was able to reach out to our Hawaii Ohana,” said Coughlin. She recruited several local sponsors including Dumbell Fitness; Hair Attitudes; Hakubundo; Kiewit Pacific; Runner’s HI; Dr. Neil Furuta, DDS, Honolulu Peridontics; and Pacific Aviation Museum, Pearl Harbor.

James Campbell High School Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps volunteered 18 cadets for the event to assist in setting up and directing runners around the runway.

The spouses Club is an organization designed to promote camaraderie among all the services.www.jensatticsales.com

NEWPORT NEWS, VA. (NNS) – The Navy celebrated the keel laying of Pre-Commissioning Unit Minnesota at Huntington Ingalls Industries - Newport News Shipbuilding in Newport News, Va., May 20.

In a time-honored Navy tradition, ship sponsor Ellen Roughead, wife of Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Gary Roughead, had her initials welded onto a steel plate that will be perma-nently affixed to Minnesota’s hull. Mrs. Roughead, a former educator, has been a tireless supporter of military families and continuing education initiatives for Navy spouses.

“We are honored to have Mrs. Roughead as Minnesota’s sponsor,” said Capt. Michael Jabaley, Virginia-class program manager. “The keel laying marks the beginning of a special rela-tionship between Mrs. Roughead, this submarine, and her crew. Her dedica-tion and support of our Sailors and their families is admirable and will pay dividends for the submarine force for years to come.”

Minnesota’s keel-laying is the subma-rine’s first major event since it began construction in February 2008; the submarine is on track to continue the Virginia-class program’s trend of early deliveries.

“Our shipbuilding partners have done an outstanding job of reducing the amount of time it takes to deliver these much-needed platforms,” said Rear Adm. David Johnson, program executive officer for submarines. “Their

hard work and ingenuity have helped put Virginia-class submarines with their tremendous capabilities into the hands of the submarine force at an increasing rate.”

Minnesota is the tenth submarine of the Virginia class and the last of the second, or Block II, construction con-tract. The submarine, like all Virginia-class boats, is being built under a unique construction contract between HII-NNS and General Dynamics Electric Boat (GDEB).

In addition to Minnesota’s keel lay-ing, the Virginia Class program will celebrate PCU California’s (SSN 781) commissioning in October and PCU Mississippi’s (SSN 782) christening in December. Also, for the first time in 22 years, the Navy will begin construction of two submarines of the same class in the same year when the unnamed SSN 787 officially starts construction in September.

Virginia-class submarines are designed to dominate the world’s lit-toral and deep waters while conducting anti-submarine warfare; anti-surface ship warfare; strike warfare; special operation forces support; intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance; irregular warfare; and mine warfare missions. Their inherent stealth, endur-ance, mobility, and firepower directly enable them to support five of the six Maritime Strategy core capabilities - sea control, power projection, forward presence, maritime security, and deter-rence.

WASHINGTON (NNS) – In response to increased retention of pilots and naval flight officers at the department head and command levels, the Navy annnounced May 18 that it has restructured the Aviation Career Continuation Pay program for fiscal year 2011.

“Providing appropriate incentives to retain skilled personnel for critical naval aviation billets is essential to maintaining combat readiness,” said Rear Adm. Tony Kurta, the director of military plans and policy for Chief of Naval Personnel. “Through a bal-anced bonus program, the Navy is able to retain a sufficient number of eligible pilots and naval flight officers through department head and com-mand milestones.”

To ensure an efficient use of funds, the fiscal year 2011 bonus program includes a general reduction in bonus amounts, as well as the alignment of available bonuses for department heads by aircraft type, model and series.

For fiscal year 2011, department head bonus amounts vary depend-ing on the airframe flown. Previous bonuses were $25,000 per year for all pilots and $15,000 per year for all NFOs, regardless of airframe.

The department head bonus will no longer be offered with a lump-sum option. Additionally, the pay-ment schedule has been adjusted and these officers will receive a reduced

amount until they are department head screened.

The fiscal year 2011 ACCP pro-gram also makes bonuses available for lieutenant commanders and com-manders who are serving at sea, but not on a long-term contract.

Two-year contracts for non-com-mand tours at sea have been reduced to $5,000 per year in fiscal year 2011 from $10,000 in fiscal year 2010.

At-sea command bonus levels remain unchanged for fiscal year 2011. Three-year contracts for at-sea operational or operational training command tours will pay $12,000 per year.

As in fiscal year 2010, O-6 avia-tors will not be eligible for ACCP bonuses.

FTS aviators will be eligible for bonuses of $10,000 per year in department head and officer-in-charge categories, with contracts for command tours offered only for operational or operational training squadrons at $12,000 per year.

An aviation officer has two oppor-tunities to sign an ACCP contract – the first in the year prior to expira-tion of his or her minimum service requirement and the second in the year the MSR will expire.

Fiscal year 2011 ACCP applica-tions must be received by Sept. 23 for active duty aviators and Sept. 24 for FTS aviators.

- All helicopter pilots, $10,000 per year;

- EA-18G and EA-6B electronic air

USS ENTERPRISE, AT SEA (NNS) -- An F/A-18F Super Hornet from the Red Rippers of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 11 became the 400,000th aircraft to land on USS Enterprise’s (CVN 65) flight deck May 24.

Lt. Matthew L. Enos and Weapon System Officer Lt. Cmdr. Jonathan Welsh manned the Super Hornet for the historic landing. Enos said he is honored he was the pilot to put Enterprise on the short list of aircraft carriers with 400,000 landings.

“This is a day I will never forget,” said Enos. “This has been a great deployment even without this feat. Being able to do this is just the icing on the cake.”

Enterprise is only the fourth Navy aircraft carrier to have more than 400,000

carrier landings, and is the only carrier still in commis-sion to surpass the number.

Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 1, Enterprise’s embarked air wing, was honored to be a part of this great achieve-ment.

“I’m glad we were able to be here to pull this off,” said Capt. Jeffrey L. Trent, com-mander of CVW-1. “I give thanks to everyone involved in this landing. Many people don’t understand how many people are involved in land-ing a jet on a ship. This made everyone’s day.”

Below the flight deck Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Equipment) 3rd Class Joseph R. Naval was manning the number two arresting gear engine when the 400,000th arrested landing was made.

“It’s a great feeling to be

able to say you had a hand in making the history books,” said Naval. “It’s not a big surprise though, working on a ship as old as Enterprise means all of us on board are making history everyday.”

Enterprise’s achievement falls on a historic year for naval aviation. One hundred years ago marks the birth of naval aviation, only eight years after the Wright broth-ers flew their historic flight.

“U.S. naval aviation has been at the forefront of our national destiny, and has become an unrivaled mari-time force,” said Rear Adm. Ted Branch, commander, Naval Air Forces Atlantic. “Our forces are doing amaz-ing work every day, around the world, and they are mak-ing a crucial difference in the ongoing operations.”

U.S. Navy aircraft operate from nearly every ship in the fleet, as well as from bases

around the world, providing uniquely capable, forward presence and giving naval air assets access nearly anywhere in the world.

“One of the great-est strengths that carrier aviation brings to the table is ‘presence,’” said Capt. Gregory C. Huffman, Enterprise’s executive officer. “Simply by moving into an area of operation, we play a part in shaping world events and defining national strat-

egy. In many parts of the

world, the carrier and air wing dwarf the capabilities of entire air forces. That is a powerful tool.”

In her 50 years of service, Enterprise has wowed many people and set many records. She is the first nuclear-powered carrier and the first nuclear carrier to transit the Suez Canal.

Enterprise was the first carrier to fly F-14 Tomcats and is the longest warship in the world.

This achievement of 400,000 landings is one more record added to the list.

“I think it’s only fitting that a squadron with the impressive history of the ‘Red Rippers’ is the one to make this landing,” said Capt. Dee L. Mewbourne, commanding officer of Enterprise. “We are witnessing history.”

The other three carriers with more than 400,000 traps are USS Lexington (CV 16), USS Independence (CV 62) and USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63).

Enterprise and Carrier Air Wing 1 are in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of responsibility conducting close-air support missions as part of Operation Enduring Freedom.

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. (NNS) – Team Navy/Coast Guard celebrated the end of the 2011 Warrior Games May 21, after win-ning a total of 27 medals during the games.

The medals were won in a variety of events such as archery, cycling, swim-ming, track and field, and wheelchair basketball.

Held annually, Warrior Games is a paralympic-style competition among wounded, ill, and injured service members.

“When a team manages to double its medal count

in one year’s time, it’s evi-dence of two things: train-ing and dedication,” said retired Navy Master Chief Aviation Ordnanceman James “Will” Wilson, Team Navy/Coast Guard co-cap-tain and manager of Navy Safe Harbor’s adaptive ath-letics program. “Our team had the biggest heart, and that carried us through the competition. We are one big extended family, and I couldn’t be more proud of what we have accom-plished.”

After finishing last during the 2010 Warrior

Games, Team Navy/Coast Guard moved up the ranks this year, seizing second place with 59.8 points.

Though the Marine Corps team took home the Chairman’s Cup trophy, Team Navy/Coast Guard bested the Army, Air Force, and Special Operations teams. Using a weighted formula to compensate for team sizes, the Chairman’s Cup is awarded to the top-performing service branch.

The final competitions of the Warrior Games were wheelchair basketball and sitting volleyball. Team Navy/Coast Guard defeated Air Force, 13-12 in wheel-chair basketball, earning a bronze medal Friday evening. On Saturday, the Navy/Coast Guard’s sitting volleyball team lost to the Special Operations team.

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. (NNS) – Team Navy/Coast Guard swam to victory in the swimming finals of the 2011 Warrior Games, May 20th.

Their efforts netted nine gold medals, three silvers and a bronze from the men’s and women’s events.

Navy Lt. Daniel B. Cnossen and Chief Special Warfare Boat Operator Daniel Hathorn earned three individual golds and one team gold each, leading the way for the Navy/Coast Guard swimmers.

Cnossen, a native of Topeka, Kan., won individual golds in the men’s 50- and 100-meter freestyle (double lower-body amputees) as well as the men’s 50-meter dackstroke (double lower-body amputees).

Cnossen, a Navy SEAL who continues to serve on active-duty, was injured in 2009 by an improvised explosive device in southern Afghanistan, which caused internal injuries and the amputation of both lower legs. He also participated in the 100-, 200- and 800-meter track events May 17th, earning a bronze medal in the 800-meter race for lower-body amputees.

Hathorn won individual golds in the men’s 50- and 100-meter freestyle (upper-body impairment) and in the men’s 50-meter backstroke (upper-body impair-ment).

The Ithaca, N.Y., native was injured dur-ing a deployment in 2009 and serves on active duty with the Naval Special Warfare East Recruiting Directorate in Virginia Beach, Va.

Hathorn is also a member of the Navy/Coast Guard wheelchair basketball team.

Navy Aviation Ordnanceman 2nd Class Selemani Johnson added two silvers in the men’s 50- and 100-meter freestyle (spinal cord injury) events.

Asked how he felt about earning two medals he said, “It’s awesome. It feels great to win, but it wasn’t the reason I came

here. It’s beyond my expectations and I’m very grateful.”

In 2010, Johnson was struck by a car while riding a motorcycle, leaving him paralyzed. Born in Africa and raised in Dallas, Texas, Johnson also participated in the 100-, 200- and 800-meter wheelchair races as well as the sitting discus competi-tion. He currently serves on active duty at the Naval Medical Center in San Diego, CA.

Also earning two medals was Navy Lt. Melanie Monts de Oca. She won silver in the women’s 50-meter Backstroke event and a bronze in the women’s 50-meter Freestyle event.

The former national powerlifting cham-pion has had numerous physical challeng-es that have set her back. A snowmobiling accident caused serious injury to her right hip and she was diagnosed with a congeni-tal heart condition and suffered a stroke. A surgery helped correct the heart defect and allows her to participate in competi-tive events.

She has also participated in the women’s standing shot- put event.

The Lakeland, Fla., native currently serves on active duty with Navy Safe Harbor at James A. Haley Veteran’s Hospital in Tampa.

Explosive Ordnance Disposal 1st Class Patrick Woodruff and Construction Mechanic 3rd Class Aaron Heldreth added a gold medal each to the team’s collection.

Woodruff, a Leonard, Texas native, earned gold in the Men’s 50-meter Backstroke (Single Lower-Body Amputees) event.

Team Navy/Coast Guard has collected eleven gold medals, nine silvers and six bronze throughout the week of competi-tion and is poised to add two more in wheelchair basketball and sitting volley-ball.

Champions deliver gold at Warrior Games COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. (NNS) --

Cyclists for the Navy/Coast Guard Team rode to four medals, including a gold, in the 2011 Warrior Games’ fourth day of competition, May 20th.

Retired Navy Builder Constructionman Roy Daniel “Dan” Peters and his ‘pilot’, Karl Erickson, earned the Navy/Coast Guard team its second gold medal of the games by winning the Men’s Tandem Cycling 30-kilometer race.

“It feels great to contribute. I really pushed myself. And I have to contribute a lot of that to Carl, my tandem. He really pushed me hard to get the gold.”

Peters, who became visually impaired following a surgery to remove a brain tumor, also competed in the 100-, 200-, and 800-meter track races earlier in the week. He competes with guides, like Erickson, who steer him along the course.

“Dan is really good at cycling and, although he is new, he has taken to it really well,” Erickson said of Peters’ ability. “We came into it with a game plan on how to attack the race and we stuck to our plan and good things happened. Dan really stepped it up today.”

Retired Navy Master-at-Arms 3rd Class Nathan R. DeWalt earned his third indi-vidual medal of the games by winning the bronze medal in the Men’s Handcycle

10-kilometer race.“It’s surreal to think that I am bringing

home three medals for the Navy/Coast Guard Team, and finished third against such great competitors” he said.

DeWalt, who became paralyzed in 2008 when a vehicle struck him as he rode his motorcycle, also won two silvers in the men’s 800- and 100-meter wheelchair races May 18th.

Earning medals in the Men’s Recumbent Cycling 20-kilometer race were Coast Guard Chief Operations Specialist Chief Christopher (CJ) Shunk and 3rd Class Electrician’s Mate Michael K. Bell. Shunk, fought his way to a silver medal after a slow start while Bell earned the bronze.

“Hopefully, my effort shows my gratitude for letting me be a part of the Navy/Coast Guard Team,” said Shunk of his perfor-mance.

Shunk suffered a traumatic brain injury in a fall and employs adaptive athletics as part of his recovery. He looks to continue cycling with Colorado Springs Therapeutic Recreation Program.

The four cycling medals bring the Navy/Coast Guard Team’s tally to thirteen, one more than was achieved in the 2010 Warrior Games. The team has won two golds, six silvers, and five bronzes.

Kitsap Navy News

The heavy cruiser USS Quincy (CA-71) started its life as the USS St. Paul when its keel was laid by the Bethlehem Steel Shipbuilding Company in Quincy Mass. The previous Quincy was sunk in the Battle of Savo Island.

Commissioned under her second name on June 23 1943, the Quincy was 673 feet long and its 13,600 tons drafted 21 feet. She had a top speed of 33 knots and delivered munitions from nine eight-inch guns, 12 five-inch guns. In addition the Baltimore-class warship sported 48 40-mm anti-aircraft guns and 24 20-mm anti-aircraft guns.

The new cruiser was assigned to Task Force 22 and trained in Casco Bay, Maine until steaming to Belfast Ireland with Task

Group 27.10 and the 12th Fleet. While there Supreme Commander Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower inspected the ship’s com-pany.

On May 20 1944 Quincy began special training in shore bombardment while anchored off Greenock Scotland in prepa-ration for the same action at Utah Beach on D-day.

From June 6 through June 17 Quincy hammered enemy mobile shore batteries and German concentrations of truck and tanks while also destroying German long-range batteries and supporting Allied mine sweepers that were under enemy fire.

As the crews of two US destroyers aban-doned ship after hitting mines, the Quincy engaged enemy batteries raining ordinance

them.On June 21 Quincy joined Task Force

129 in Portland England to cross the Channel and bombard Cherbourg, France prior to the U.S. Army assault on June 24. The task force was credited with destroy-ing 19 of 21 primary targets and enabling the Army to take the town in one day.

Late July found the Quincy supporting troop landings on France’s southern coast at Toulon, St. Mandrier, and Cap Sicie.

Pulling out of the European theater on Sept. 1, 1944, Quincy stopped in Boston, Ma. To fit out for a presidential cruise.

On Jan. 23, 1945 President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his party boarded Quincy for passage to the Malta arriving on February 2.

The president received the King of Egypt and the Emperor of Ethiopia aboard the Quincy on Feb. 13, 1945 and the King of Saudi Arabia a day later.

By March 20 Quincy found herself in Pearl Harbor before joining the 5th Fleet in Ulithi on April 11. She supported carri-ers in strikes on Okinawa, Amami Gunto and the Minami Diato Shima before returning to Uithi on April 30.

On July 1 Quincy joined Task Force 38

to begin bombardments on the Japanese home islands until the war ended weeks later.

On October 19, 1946 Quincy was decommissioned and assigned to the Bremerton Group, Pacific Reserve Fleet.

With four battle stars earned in World War II, Quincy was recommissioned for Korean War service on Jan. 31, 1952. She served along the Korean coast until the end of 1953.

Back in Bremerton, Quincy rejoined the Pacific Reserve Fleet on July 2, 1954 and remained there until being sold for scrap on Sept. 1, 1974.

This Week in Navy HistoryI say that, but then, I’ve never rec-

onciled which is worse: for the mili-tary to have too much or too little exposure. On the one hand, when civilians are surrounded by military families, it is hard for them to forget the sacrifices these families make. There are plenty of service member moms and dads missing Sunday morning’s soc-cer games, so how could anyone not remember?

But on the other hand, when the local culture is saturated with military families—as it is in places like Norfolk, Va., and San Diego, Ca.—people lose awareness. (So, your dad was on deployment and missed your gradu-ation? Well, half the graduating class was in the same situation. Big deal.) Military families are only reinforc-ing for other military families the sacrifices of service, and there are few civilian counterparts to benefit from the awareness.

Two weeks ago I visited Brunswick Naval Air Station in Brunswick, Maine. On May 31st, the base will close its gates and fade into history. Already, the deserted streets and fields scattered with weeds seem like ghostly images of the base’s former self. At the front gate, I recalled the last time I had been to NAS Brunswick, when a line of cars bent around the curb, onto the street,

waiting for access. Jets roared and men and women in f light suits busily walked here and there.

Now NAS Brunswick has the feel of an old, abandoned factory.

This is sad on many accounts, but mostly for this: slowly, one by one, mili-tary installations in the northeast are

shutting down. Our Navy in particular is pushing itself further into the southeast and west of the United States, leaving an exceptional void in New England. This means that relatively few Northerners will know someone who has died in combat or in training. Relatively few will know fami-lies who have been

separated by a deployment for the last 12 months. And still fewer will spot uniformed military men and women in line at the gas station or next to them at the stop light.

What this means is that for a large portion of our country, which is los-ing touch with the culture of military life, Memorial Day is just a day to relax and have a party. And maybe that is alright. Our ability to forget things like war, death and sacrifice in exchange for comfort, pleasure and abundance is exactly what those service members died for.

Hood Canal Adventure Salmon CampsJoin us in this rare opportunity to explore and learn of the Hood Canal watershed first-hand. The Hood Canal region is rich in history, tradition and natural resources. The salm-on is the one icon of the northwest that brings the elements of water, earth, and people together. For summer 2011, we are once again offering overnight camp experiences travelling the watershed of Hood Canal. The overnight camp is available for 6-9th graders from July 20-23rd and a second session is offered from August 10-13th. Campers experience diverse ecosystems while having fun exploring the nature

that surrounds them. Their inner sci-entists emerge as they get down and dirty investigating aquatic and terrestrial habitats around Hood Canal beaches and rivers. They’ll discover interesting critters while exploring these natural wonders. Campers have plenty of opportunity to get wet and have fun swimming and snorkeling, participating in games and art activities and learning traditional knowledge from our Tribal neighbors. Our Adventure Salmon Camps foster enthu-siasm for lifelong learning and nurtures an inquisitive wonder and respect for our natural world. With our limited camp space, Adventure Salmon Camp fills quickly. Application forms can be downloaded from our website @ www.hcseg.org. For more information call the Hood Canal Salmon Enhancement Group at 360-275-3575 or view our website @ www.hcseg.org.

SILVERDALE, WASH. — The U.S. Navy would like to invite the public to comment on a Test Pile Program proposed in Hood Canal beginning this summer.

The Test Pile program would involve the installation and removal of 29 open ended, hollow steel test and reaction piles ranging in size from 30 inches in diameter to 60 inches in diameter in Hood Canal over a forty day work period between July 16 and October 30, 2011.

Impact pile driving activities will only occur from July 16 to October 14, 2011 and are contingent on the results of spawning fish egg surveys. Vibratory pile driving and other in-water work will continue through October 30, 2011.

All piles will be driven to an ini-tial embedment depth with a vibra-tory hammer.

Data collected during pile instal-lation and removal will be integrated into the design, construction, and environmental planning for the Navy’s proposed explosives wharf expansion. The Navy proposes to install the test piles in the location planned for EHW-2, just south of the existing EHW.

In accordance with the Council on Environmental Quality regula-tions implementing the National Environmental Policy Act, the Navy has prepared an Environmental Assessment for the Test Pile Program at NBK at Bangor and has concluded that an Environmental Impact Statement is not required.

A Finding of No Significant Impact addressing this action will be based on an EA dated June 2011, which will evaluate the potential environmental effects of construct-ing the Test Pile Program.

The Navy is accepting written comments on the Test Pile Program Environmental Assessment, which-must be postmarked by June 2, 2011 to be considered.

Comment sought on pile driving test for Bangor wharf expansion
