Susan Hayes gave a Day106 towards her Woodhull Fellow-ship to recognize her 20th Anniversary as both a Day-ton Rotarian and a Leadership Dayton graduate. Julie Barhorst’s Day10 encouraged participation and at-tendance at the upcoming Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce Business After Hours, taking place at the new Main Library on June 21.

Brian Martin introduced our newest Rotarian Mrs. Hunter Phillips Goodman, Executive Director of the Fitz Center for Leadership at the University of Dayton. Jim Deuser, Chari of the Day, introduced our featured speaker, Rear Admiral John Schommer, Deputy Com-mander of the Military Sealift Command, United States Navy; native Daytonian and 1984 graduate of Kettering Fairmont High School. In addition to his presentation at Rotary, over the course of his 2.5 day Dayton visit, Admiral Schommer will visit civic leaders, WPAFB, UD, and the VA Center, among others, with a primary goal of raising awareness for the important role of the Navy, and their looming needs. Through generations of Sailors and ever-changing technology, the U.S. Navy is all about defending our country’s interests and protecting America. As a recap to the presentation: After winning the Revolutionary War, the United States disbanded the Continental Navy, assuming there would no longer be a need. As hostile forces began to threaten and capture our merchant vessels, it quickly became clear that our nation needed a front-line, oceangoing Navy. In 1794, Congress authorized the construction of six frigates – one of which was the legendary USS Constitution, which remains commis-sioned today. And while everything else has changed during the past two centuries...ships, aircraft, people, even the world...the Navy’s mission has remained: To protect America from attack and preserve
American influence around the world. To prevent conflict and deter aggression, ena-
bling the peaceful resolution of crises. To be ready to fight and defeat any enemy at any
time. ...continued on page 4

This Happened Last Monday Continued The free flow of goods over the world’s oceans is a national security issue, and the Navy ensures this flow of goods remains unimped-ed. - 26 percent of US job are directly or indirectly tied to global trade. - 26 percent of U.S. manu-facturing jobs depend on
exports. - 22 percent of all U.S. agriculture products by volume are sold in over-seas markets. The Navy has a diverse fleet of ships, from aircraft carriers to fast com-bat ships and coastal patrol vessels. In addition, the Navy has a sub-marine force, and planes, helicopters and unmanned aircraft. Operations Update: Today, there are 275 ships in the Navy’s bat-tle force, 99 of which are based overseas - what they call “forward de-ployed” in locations such as the Middle East, Europe or Japan. Of the Navy’s 400,000 active and Reserve Sailors, more than 70,000 are forward deployed to support operations around the globe. America’s Navy reaches into every corner of the world with six major commands responsible for operations. The Navy provides regular support to two operations against the Islamic State (ISIS). The Navy also has the ability to carry out rapid-response humanitarian assistance operations around the world. Current Challenges: The demand for American naval forces is rising in areas such as the South China Sea and the Black Sea. The Navy is also engaged in operations in the Middle East and Mediterra-nean Sea. The Navy is concerned with the emergence of competitors and adversaries with increasingly sophisticated forces, as well as countries who want to deter naval powers from operating near their territory. The advancement of these potential adversaries and compet-itors makes it more important for our Navy to advance its own forces. To do so, they need to modernize existing ships, aircraft and weapons. Afloat forces need investments in their readiness, and active ships and aircrafts need accelerated and extended production lines. Maritime security operations are a major part of our operations around the world, including counter-terror operations and counter-illicit trafficking operations. Recruiting, training and properly equipping Sailors is an important step in keeping America’s Navy at the forefront of the world’s sea services. The Future: Two central themes have emerged. First, the Navy will need at least 350 ships to maintain superiority on the seas, with a focus on both manned and unmanned platforms. Second, they need to change the way they operate that fleet. They’re working right now to bring new ships into the fleet, and they’re looking to innovate with an emphasis on expanded power capability, improved networking and rapid modernization of weapons and sensors. Questions came from Rotarians on the subjects of: costs for new fleets, an overview of activity in the South China Sea, integration of renewable energy and the use of 3D printing to assist with rapid deployment of spare parts. As you might expect, Admiral Schom-mer’s presentation was met with a rousing applause and with gratitude for service. Amy Radachi called the meet-ing to a close.
