eneral Dynamics has recognized Quonset Point with a Manufacturing Excellence Award
for the facility’s efforts to improve the outfitting fabrication processes used in Virginia-class
submarine production.
“One area that offered an opportunity to achieve some of the improvements we
required was in the development and use of multipurpose work platforms,” said Director of
Manufacturing Operations Keith Moffat. “These platforms provide our tradespeople with
maximum unit availability and enabled parallel work activities with minimum disruption and
dependency on support organizations,” he said.

Working toward a goal of reducing cost and schedule without compromising safety and quality, the team employed Lean Manufacturing and Design for
Production techniques to standardize work platforms and eliminate processes and downtime.
The work platforms replace stick-built staging that had been in use since the mid-1970s.
This staging was disruptive to trades people, consumed large amount of resources (manpower,
materials and floor space) and provided limited usable work space.
Since the transition to engineered work platforms, Quonset Point has realized productivity
enhancements stemming from improved access to units, increased usable work space and integrated services.
“As a result of these improvements, we’ve achieved major reductions in construction span
time and labor hours while supporting Virginia program performance objectives safely and
efficiently,” said Moffat.

H
e joked that it took a year for him to
finally get to the Black Engineering
Council scholarship dinner, but the
crowd clearly did not mind the wait,
awarding retired Air Force Gen. Lester
L. Lyles two standing ovations.
The main speaker at the recent BEC banquet,
Lyles had been asked to speak at the 2012 dinner
but had to cancel for some pressing business in
Washington, D.C. Lyles, a former Air Force vice
chief of staff, has been a member of the General
Dynamics board of directors since 2003.
He said almost all the organizations he
remains engaged with today are working on
the issues of diversity or engineering, so he
appreciated the chance to speak to a group that
is working on both.
He has chaired or served on a wide variety of
committees and commissions counseling the
military services and other government organizations about STEM – science, technology, engineering and math.
“The number-one concern of all these agencies in the federal government is, what are
we going to do about the workforce of the
future?” Lyles said. “We need people with an

“ THE NUMBER-ONE CONCERN
OF ALL THESE AGENCIES IN
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
IS, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO
DO ABOUT THE WORKFORCE
OF THE FUTURE?
WE NEED PEOPLE WITH
AN APPRECIATION FOR

appreciation for finance, for engineering, for
science and math.”
He praised former EB employees Lewis Cornelius and Herbert Rattley, who established
the BEC, for the work they did recruiting and
retaining engineers who made the EB workforce more diverse. But he said reaching out to
students in college is too late.
“High school is much too late,” Lyles said.
“Companies like Electric Boat need to reach
out to students in preschool.”
He exhorted members of the BEC, EB management and the entire EB community to get
out into the community and talk to students of
all ages about the careers they can aim for if
they get a solid grounding in STEM.
Winners of the 2013 BEC scholarships
were Zanovia Holston, daughter of Christine
Holston, (614) and David Plowden; and Shaela
Rattley, daughter of Kalynn Rattley – Herbert
Rattley’s daughter – and Richard Murphy
(333).
Lyles noted that he felt a personal connection
to both scholarship recipients: Holston will
attend the University of Hartford in the fall to
study mechanical engineering, which was his
area of undergraduate study; and Rattley will study financial management at Howard University, his alma mater.
Lyles said the appearance of progress can often dampen support for
diversity efforts. When he and Gen. Lloyd W. “Fig” Newton were in
the Air Force, having two black four-star generals made it look like
there had been progress.
“That was the problem,” Lyles said. “It was just us two. There was
no pool of people behind us. You have to have active career-development programs, commitment to those programs, and leadership that
advocates for those programs.”
The Navy has done well in diversity, he said, because the chief of
naval operations asks at every command he visits what people in that
organization are doing personally to promote diversity.
“People realize, ‘if it’s important to the boss, it better be important
to me,’” Lyles said.
And Lyles encouraged members of the BEC and all others to cultivate their own mentoring relationships, as well.
“People rarely say ‘no’ if you ask for help,” Lyles said. “All of a sudden, you have a mentor, someone who can help you grow.”
He recounted a story he once heard about a couple who took their
young daughter, who was struggling to learn the piano, to hear a
famed pianist. While they were waiting for the concert to start they
turned their back and the next thing they know she was up on the
stage, playing chopsticks. In horror they watched as the master walked
onto the stage, crept up behind her, leaned over her, and said, “Don’t
stop. Keep playing. It sounds good.”“For all the things you’re doing for
diversity,” Lyles said, “don’t stop. Keep playing. It sounds good.”
ELECTRIC BOAT RECEIVES
NATIONAL AWARD FOR
HEALTH PROGRAMS
E
lectric Boat is one of 65 U.S. companies honored by
the National Business Group on Health for its commitment to promoting healthy work environments
and encouraging workers to live healthier lifestyles.
Electric Boat won a Gold Award for making cultural
and environmental changes and developing comprehensive programs that support employees’ healthy lifestyle
goals.
“The level of interest and commitment that we are
seeing employers demonstrate in health improvement
programs is at an all-time high,” said Helen Darling,
president and CEO of the Business Group.
“Employers all across the country and in all industries
are looking for creative ways to promote a healthy work
environment and encourage their employees to follow
healthy lifestyles. They know that without these types
of health improvement programs, their efforts to stem
the rising costs of health care benefits may come up
short. We applaud the companies that are being honored
today,” said Darling.

NASSCO Delivers
USNS Montford Point
SAN DIEGO
General Dynamics NASSCO recently delivered USNS Montford Point (MLP-1), the lead ship of the Mobile Landing Platform
(MLP) class, to the U.S. Navy. The ship is named in honor of
Camp Montford Point, the Jacksonville, N.C., site where the first
African-American Marines were trained.
Construction of the USNS Montford Point began in May 2011,
incorporating a design-build approach to improve the ship’s readiness for production. The 785-foot-long auxiliary ship will serve
as a floating base for amphibious operations, and operate as a
transfer point between large ships and small landing craft.
“Congratulations to the NASSCO-Navy-MSC team and to
the entire group who built this ship,” said Fred Harris, NASSCO
president. “The approach we have taken in building this first-ofclass ship, with the requirements and planning complete and the
material available at the start of construction, has resulted in the
delivery of MLP-1 under budget and on schedule. This reflects
NASSCO’s tradition of delivering high-quality, mission-ready
ships.”
NASSCO is currently building the second ship of the class,
MLP-2, scheduled for undocking in September and delivery in the
first quarter of 2014. Construction of MLP-3, the third ship in the
class, began in February.
Bath Iron Works Lays Keel
of DDG-1001, Second
Zumwalt-class Destroyer
BATH, Maine
Bath Iron Works recently celebrated the keel laying of Michael
Monsoor (DDG-1001), the second ship in the planned three-ship
Zumwalt Class of guided-missile destroyers.
The ship is named for Petty Officer Second Class Michael
Monsoor, a U.S. Navy SEAL who was killed in Ramadi, Iraq, in
2006. Monsoor was on a joint SEAL-Iraqi Army team operating
from a rooftop when an insurgent threw a grenade at them. Monsoor jumped on the grenade, covering it and saving three fellow
SEALs and eight Iraqi Army soldiers. Monsoor posthumously
received the Medal of Honor from President George W. Bush in
2008. He was also awarded the Bronze Star and the Silver Star
for his service in Iraq.
6 | JUNE/JULY 2013 | ELECTRIC BOAT NEWS
Monsoor’s parents, Sally and George Monsoor, authenticated
the keel at Bath Iron Works. A special steel plate containing
the initials of Sally and George Monsoor was prepared for the
ceremony. The two authenticated the laying of the keel by striking welding arcs onto the steel plate. Sally Monsoor is the ship’s
sponsor.
The keel unit is the 4,400-ton, heavily outfitted mid-forebody
section of the ship, which was moved from the shipyard’s Ultra
Hall construction facility onto the building ways.
The DDG-1000 Zumwalt-class destroyer is the U.S. Navy’s
next-generation, guided-missile naval destroyer, leading the way
for a new generation of advanced multi-mission surface 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 support of forces.
NASSCO to Construct Four Product
Tankers for American Petroleum Tankers
SAN DIEGO
General Dynamics NASSCO has entered into a contract with
an affiliate of American Petroleum Tankers (APT) for the design
and construction of four 50,000 deadweight ton LNG-conversionready product carriers with a 330,000 barrel cargo capacity. The
contract includes options to build four additional ships.
Construction of the first tanker is scheduled to begin in the
third quarter of 2014, with deliveries scheduled to begin in the
fourth quarter of 2015, continuing through 2016. The four-ship
APT contract will add up to approximately 800 jobs at NASSCO
during construction and more than 165 seagoing union jobs during the operation of the vessels.
The 610-foot-long tankers are a new ECO design that offers
improved fuel efficiency and incorporates the latest environmental protection features, including a ballast-water treatment
system. All of the ECO-class tankers will be constructed at the
NASSCO shipyard in San Diego.
The ships will be designed by DSEC, a subsidiary of Daewoo
Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) of Busan, South
Korea. DSEC’s ECO design achieves improved fuel efficiency
through several features, including a G-series MAN ME slowspeed main engine and an optimized hull form. The tankers
will have dual-fuel-capable auxiliary engines and the ability to
ARTIST’S RENDERING OF NEW ECO-CLASS TANKERS TO BE BUILT AT THE NASSCO SHIPYARD.
accommodate future installation of an LNG fuel-gas system.
NASSCO President Fred Harris said, “By continuing to bring
the most economical and environmentally sound technology
to Jones Act operators, these ECO tankers show our continued commitment to be one of the most innovative shipyards in
America. I am pleased to renew our partnership with APT on
this exciting new program. Along with TOTE, this is the second
return customer we have welcomed back to NASSCO within the
past six months, which speaks to the high-quality workmanship
of our skilled workforce.”
Navy Awards Bath Iron Works
$2.8 Billion Contract for Four DDG-51
Destroyers, with Option for Fifth
BATH, Maine
The U.S. Navy has awarded Bath Iron Works a contract valued
at $2.8 billion for the construction of four Arleigh Burke-class
destroyers, with an option for a fifth ship.
“This contract adds four ships to our workload in a fiscally
challenging and highly competitive environment, and provides a
clearer picture of our near-term future,” said BIW President Jeff
Geiger. “Continuation of the DDG-51 program provides important
work for the men and women of Bath Iron Works and allows us
to extend our record of delivering these critical surface combatants to the U.S. Navy.”
The option for the fifth ship, if exercised, would bring the total
value of the contract to approximately $3.5 billion.
There are currently two DDG-51 destroyers in production
at Bath Iron Works – Rafael Peralta (DDG-115) and Thomas
Hudner (DDG-116). The shipyard began fabrication on DDG-115
in November 2011; delivery to the Navy is scheduled for 2016.
Fabrication on DDG-116 began in November 2012, with delivery
scheduled for 2017.
Bath Iron Works is also building the three ships in the planned
three-vessel Zumwalt-class of destroyers, Zumwalt (DDG-1000),
Michael Monsoor (DDG-1001) and Lyndon Johnson (DDG- 1002).
Zumwalt is expected to be launched later this year.

LIVING WITH OR KNOWING SOMEONE
WITH HEART DISEASE
O
ne of my goals at Electric Boat is to prevent disease, or put another way – keep the
well healthy. The core EB program is the Know Your Numbers / House Calls. This
program ideally allows people to monitor their biometric numbers so if a change
starts occurring in a negative direction, an individual can take action to maintain
or improve the biometric markers. Past Health Matters columns have focused
on reasons to stay healthy – avoiding heart disease and stroke, for example. Also, I have
described methods for staying healthy through a lifestyle with good eating and exercise
habits. The topic I have not yet covered is for the 11.5 percent of non-institutionalized
adults with diagnosed heart disease.
One key to the treatment of heart disease is staying positive. Four very simple techniques can help a person stay positive.
The four techniques are:
P Meditating – this can be as simple as just sitting and taking 15 deep breaths with 15
long expirations.
P Enjoying nature – take a minute to step outside and breathe in the fresh air, enjoy the
walk to or from the grocery store, your house or your doctor’s appointments.
HEALTH
MATTERS
By Dr. Susan Andrews
8 | JUNE/JULY 2013 | ELECTRIC BOAT NEWS
P Spending time with friends – being isolated can lead to depression, so make a date
with a friend or colleague so you have somewhere to go.
P Visualizing – during a quiet minute visualize your heart beating strongly, healing, and
the vessels opening up. This way you are taking an active role in your mind-body experience. For more information on a positive attitude visit Dr. Lynn M. Williams, clinical
health psychologist, at http://www.yourmindhealth.com/home.html.
For anyone with heart disease it is important to remember that you are not alone. You
have joined the ranks of millions of other Americans. What you call it is not important –
you will hear different terms such as heart disease, coronary arterial disease, cardiovascular disease, CAD and more. The bottom line is this – there is plaque buildup in the walls of
your arteries in your heart. The plaque makes the vessels narrow so that blood has a more
difficult time flowing. Once you have the diagnosis remember to not feel guilty, realize it
is OK to need help, join a support group, believe in yourself, and maybe even spread the
word about heart disease.
You are your best health advocate for managing your heart disease. It is very important
to manage your emotions. Also, look for people who have similar goals regarding health in
their plan. Try to find someone who will make one healthy change with you such as diet,
exercise, or even discussing your heart health with your primary care provider. Lastly, take
control of your recovery by reading labels and being active. Don’t expect miracles overnight, de-stress and be a survivor by living a “normal” or “new normal” life.
If you are caring for or living with someone with heart disease then you have an active
role in both your health and their health. Make sure you are patient with yourself since
your role can be both demanding and stressful. Always take care of yourself so that you
will be there to help the person with heart disease. You may even need to ask yourself,
what have I done for myself today? The caregiver or spouse must find a health outlet for
stress to avoid burnout.
Finding the right doctor is important. Start with your Primary Care Physician (PCP).
The PCP should be in charge of your overall care. Likely, you also will see a cardiologist.
Make sure you are comfortable with both your PCP and cardiologist. You may need to get
ONE KEY TO THE TREATMENT OF HEART DISEASE IS
STAYING POSITIVE. FOUR VERY SIMPLE TECHNIQUES CAN
HELP A PERSON STAY POSITIVE. THE FOUR TECHNIQUES

WITH FRIENDS , AND VISUALIZING.
a second opinion about your care or treatment plan. Just remember you need to
take an active role in your own health care.
Your medications, including your heart medicines, must be taken all the time.
Patients rarely have the luxury of taking just one pill. Medications are demonstrated to improve outcomes for people with heart disease. The key to success
with medications is to take the medications every time. You should not run out
of medicines or skip medicines. Some people find using pill boxes with morning,
lunch, dinner and nighttime helpful for remembering medications. Use whatever
techniques work – pill boxes, alarm clocks, smart phones or written notes as long
as you take all the medicines as directed.
After the heart disease diagnosis each person must start a recovery plan. This
may be a formal program such as cardiac rehabilitation or as simple as improving your lifestyle. Adding exercise and healthy eating to a daily routine may
be all that is needed for some people. Typically a formal cardiac rehabilitation
program will include exercise on a treadmill or bike, being monitored for heart
rate and blood pressure, a slow progression to more intense exercise, counseling,
monitoring for signs of depression and creating a healthy eating plan. Healthy
eating will likely include more fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins
and calcium. Further, most people need to decrease their sodium intake and
sugar-sweetened beverages. This can be done by reading labels and creating a
heart-healthy grocery list.
How does Electric Boat facilitate living with heart disease? The Health and
Wellness team offers programs to support a continued or improved lifestyle.
The Know Your Numbers / House Calls promotes monitoring your biometric
readings and then allows for an individualized healthy plan. Each person is
encouraged to choose an action item as a goal to work on during the year. Then
over time each person can monitor their own success. Various sites have exercise
areas and weight management programs. Smoking cessation is offered at both
the Quonset Point Dispensary and the Groton Yard Hospital for anyone seeking
assistance to quit smoking.
In addition, the EB Family Pharmacy, located at both QP and Groton, is there
to assist with ongoing compliance with medications. The stores even offer free
pill boxes to assist with taking medicines. The EB Family Pharmacy can be
reached at 888-578-3457. If you are not already using the pharmacy you can call
for a price quote from the pharmacist.
Lastly, if you have United Health coverage, Mercedes Beres-DaCosta is
the health-care advocate who can help arrange a support program. She can be
reached at 860-433-8272 or at 401-268-2240. If you wish to directly contact the
health coaching department at United Health you can go to www.myuhc.com
or call 1-866-642-3661. Services are provided onsite or offsite through the pharmacy and United Health Care to assist those with heart disease.
