New fence brings Bangor into DOD compliance NAVFAC Northwest to spend $7 million on vehicle barrier

By JJ Swanson

jswanson@soundpublishing.com

The Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Northwest on Feb. 10 awarded a $6.9 million contract to a Gig Harbor construction company to build a “passive vehicle barrier” along two miles of fencing on the northwest side of Naval Base Kitsap Bangor.

Vehicle barriers are intended to define

perimeters and keep unauthorized or potentially dangerous vehicles out of restricted areas. They sometimes serve as “a final denial,” according to an Aug. 2010 report by the Department of Defense.

Passive vehicle barriers are permanent, non-movable walls which do not require the operation of security personnel, such as concrete blocks, reinforced knee walls, ditches, tire shredders or chain-linked fences with anti-ram foundations.

“It’s just a fence to keep vehicles out,” said Leslie Yuenger, spokeswoman for NAVFAC Northwest.

Reinforced passive vehicle fences were formally tested by the department with a 15,000 pound vehicle traveling at 50 mph.

The wall stopped the “attack vehicle” within 3.28 feet.

Yuenger explained that the fencing project was necessary to bring the Bangor

installation into compliance with DoD security regulations.

Regulations consider all potential threats, including the “moving vehicle bomb threat” as well as “potential liability effects” following terrorist acts in specific locations.

“Vehicles loaded with explosives can detonate as a large bomb, inflicting severe damage on critical military facilities and potentially injuring DoD personnel,” according to the department’s report. “Such vehicle bombs are effective terrorist tools because they facilitate the transport of large quantities of explosive to any desired location.

Lt. Michell Jones, installation security officer for Naval Base Kitsap Bangor would not comment on the base’s specific security concerns, how the passive vehicle barrier

Puget Sound shipbuilder gets $70 million Navy contract

ARLINGTON, Va. (NNS) -- The Navy has awarded $70 million to a Puget Sound shipyard to begin building the second of two modern oceanographic research vessels, the Office of Naval Research recently announced.

Dakota Creek Industries Inc. of Anacortes, Wash., will begin detail design and construction on the Ocean-

class Auxiliary General Oceanographic Research (AGOR) vessel 28. Naval Sea Systems Command previously awarded a contract for AGOR 27, the first of the two new research ships.

The recent award brings the Navy’s combined shipbuilding investments in the program to $145 million.

“The ships are indispens-

able research tools,” said Dr. Frank Herr, director of ONR’s Ocean Battlespace Sensing Department. “They are the primary means by which we go to sea and engage the oceanographic research community to learn about the ocean and to develop oceanographic and atmospheric prediction systems to help the fleet under-

stand the ocean, and plan for its operations around the world.”

The Navy, through ONR, has been a leader in building and providing large research ships for the nation’s academic research fleet since World War II. The latest ships will replace two vessels previously Navy-built and owned.

Designed as single-hull ships, AGOR 27 and AGOR 28 are approximately 238feet long and incorporate the latest technologies, including high-efficiency diesel engines, emissions controls for stack gasses, new information technology tools both for monitoring shipboard systems and for communicating with the world, and hull coatings to reduce maintenance requirements.

Each vessel will operate with a crew of 20 with accommodations for 24 scientists.

The construction phase will last 30 to 36 months per ship with delivery expected in late 2014 and early 2015. Once delivered to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and to Scripps Institution of Oceanography, respectively, the ships will allow scientists to continue with ongoing research efforts in the Atlantic, western Pacific and Indian Ocean regions.

The U.S. academic research fleet is organized by the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System, a partnership among research institutions consisting of 16 vessel operators.

Federal agencies provide research grants for ocean sci-

ences which in turn support ship operations via day rates charged to research users.

The six Navy-owned vessels are among the largest in this fleet enabling global ranging research programs.

ONR provides the science and technology necessary to maintain the Navy and Marine Corps’ technological advantage. Through its affiliates, ONR is a leader in science and technology with engagement in 50 states, 70 countries, 1,035 institutions of higher learning and 914 industry partners. ONR employs approximately 1,400 people, comprising uniformed, civilian and contract personnel, with additional employees at the Naval Research Lab in Washington, D.C.

MILLINGTON TENN – (NNS) Physical Fitness Assessments (PFA’s) are just around the corner and the big question is whether you are getting ready to knock it out of the park or painfully squeak by.

If any of you have lived overseas and experienced the American Forces Network, or AFN, you’ve seen the terrible infomercials that take the place of advertising on the network. There was one infomercial in particular

that strikes home every year when it comes to the PFA. It focuses on an individual’s need for anti-inflammatory medicine and pain killers such as Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen every time the PFA cycle rolled around.

The gist of the infomercial was this: Stay in shape and you won’t have to burn yourself out twice a year just to get through the PFA. There is so much literature out there that can help guide an individual to stay

in shape year round. There are work out programs, videos and diets that can keep everyone mission ready by being physically fit. But what if you don’t want to spend any money on these products? What if you don’t want to drink the milk shakes or protein bars? You don’t have to.

Your Command Fitness Leader, or CFL, should be accessible any time you need their help in progressing in your personal fitness or diet regiment. Sit down with them. Make them work for you; that is their purpose.

They’re not there to help you pass your PFA, they’re there to keep you physically fit and mission ready year round.

YN1 Gricel Rodriguez, CNRNW’s CFL, likes to drive home the point that “Sailors need to workout at least three times a week to be effective.”

PFAs around the corner, are you ready

Proposed budget foretells smaller more agile force

By Lisa Daniel and Karen Parrish American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON – The military will reduce its end strength by 5.5 percent over five years, while preserving military pay and benefits for current members and investing in technology and systems to counter future threats, according to Pentagon budget documents released Monday.

The fiscal 2013 proposal calls for a $525.4 billion base budget, down $5.2 billion

from the current year, and $88.5 billion for overseas contingency operations, down $26.6 billion.

The proposal follows the military strategy guidance President Barack Obama released last month that provides a transition from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to a more agile and flexible military that responds to broad challenges and maintains global superiority while also helping to reduce the national deficit, officials said.

The administration has been working toward a $487

Nimitz’ enlisted show Restil vets appreciated RESTIL – (NNS) Twenty-one Junior Enlisted Association members from the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz visited veterans and their spouses during a community relations project at Washington’s Veterans Home in Retsil Feb. 1.

Nimitz’ JEA organized the COMREL project to encourage a positive relationship with the residents at the home, said Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Handling) 3rd Class Adam Baez, JEA volunteer coordinator.

“We wanted the veterans and their spouses to know that even though they aren’t in the service anymore, their past service is greatly appreciated,” he said. “We are always willing to help and show them our support.”

Sailors spent their day interacting with residents; playing dominoes, bingo, checkers and poker; and decorating the home’s mess halls.

“It was great to see the Nimitz come out,” said former Boatswain’s Mate Seaman Charles Large, a home resident. “Some people don’t get anyone to visit so to have these guys here felt good. I would love to have

the Nimitz come back here again.”

The residents felt a real connection with the current active duty Sailors, said Tami Reuter, recreation therapy manager.

“The connection residents feel with the Sailors really helps them build value of

billion reduction in projected defense spending over the next decade, and the fiscal 2013 budget proposal calls for $259 billion in savings in the next five years. Officials said those savings would come from continued efforts at becoming more efficient, reducing overhead and duplication, and slowing the growth of personnel costs.

Defense officials said they followed a three-prong strategy for the budget request: to make disciplined use of resources, to follow strategic military guidance on decisions about force structure and investments, and to ensure the quality of the allvolunteer force while also slowing the growth of pay and benefits.

The proposal calls for $61 billion in spending cuts through fiscal 2017 -- a continuation of $150 billion in proposed budget “efficien-

cies” in the current budget year -- through reduced overhead and support, as well as improved business practices. It also calls for the department to become auditready by 2017.

The plan would increase investments in unmanned aircraft and tactical vehicles, maintain the joint strike fighter, and terminate the C-27 airlift aircraft and new weather satellites.

The budget request includes a 1.7 percent military pay raise, a 4.2 percent

average increase in the basic housing allowance, and a 3.4 percent rise in the basic allowance for subsistence.

As part of the plan, the Military Health System would receive $48.7 billion, down from $52.8 billion this year. Though there would be some fee increases in TRICARE and pharmacy co-pays for retirees younger than 65, officials said, fees will not increase for activeduty service members, survivors of military members who died on active duty or

medically retired service members.

The budget request matches TRICARE military health plan fee increases to retirement pay. Retirees receiving $22,589 or less would pay $600 in enrollment fees in 2013, rising to $893 in 2017. Those receiving retirement pay of $45,179 or more would pay $820 in 2013 and $2,048 in 2017.

Program cuts projected from fiscal 2013 to fiscal 2017 total $75 billion.

No parade needed If the growing argument that U.S. troops need a “welcome home” parade continues, the discussion should switch to include those who in reality benefit – politicians, war hawks and citizens who chose not to serve.

St. Louis held theirs late last month and claim that 100,000 citizens came to “honor” 600 service members (rounded up on short notice) which were mixed in with 19,400 others, non-Iraq-war veterans, to march in the show.

Now the St. Louis organizers say it’s time the nation joined them. Seattle is considering the idea.

What’s wrong with the parade picture is that the wars actually continue with sailors, soldiers, airmen and Marines remaining in harm’s way today and next week. The building hype for these parades tells of a largely unrealistic population that has never really understood the involvement and cost of the wars in Iraq and Greg Afghanistan.

Skinner A parade looks nice but does little to actually honor veterans. Sorry, but it’s true.

Most of the combat troops that did the fighting to route Saddam Hussein’s Republican Guards in 1991 returned to Germany after the fight and did not flood Main Street USA. Those who did the bulk of the fighting never got that ticker-tape thank you. I know because I was there, along with my comrades, destroying the 1st Hammurabi Armoured Division, the 2nd al-Medinah al-Munawera Armoured Division and the 3rd Tawalkalna ala-Allah Mechanized Infantry Division with every bit of available haste during the largest armored battle in U.S. history. In the 21 years since, I’ve not heard, read or seen a complaint from one of those combat veterans saying that they were not honored with a parade.

Parades, along with patriotism, benefit political agendas, recruitment and help those who stood by, while others served and died, feel better about the whole blood-soaked affair.

If this nation wants to honor its hundreds of thousands of Iraq war veterans, who will for the rest of their days be burdened by their service, it’s going to take more than a parade.

Pictures show the little things Often we cannot see things until they are reflected back at us. Trust me on this; six years ago I wrote a memoir with portrayals of others that annoyed friends and relatives.

Seeing yourself through the lens of another is jarring and sensitive, but ultimately, educational.

I never fully understood my relationship with Dustin until I saw it in a snapshot from our wedding 12 years ago. In the photo, which has a permanent spot on my dresser, Dustin and I are standing shoulder to shoulder. He is in his Navy dress whites. He has more hair, less body. I am in my wedding dress, and though I have the same amount of hair as I do now, in the pictures, I am thin and young.

We are holding hands, but the image doesn’t show it -- just our arms pressed together. I am smiling and laughing and looking just past Dustin. He is looking down and over at my profile. He is smiling with his eyes. There is a certain twinkle in his expression. For years I couldn’t describe what that twinkle meant.

Then one day, while I was grabbing a pair of socks from the dresser drawer, it occurred to me. Dustin was adoring me...just as he has always done since we met.

In life, I dance around Dustin while he stays steady.

Or, in his words, “Without Sarah, I’d be more boring than I already am.” All of this became clear to me in one snapshot.

More recently, I am working with artist Andrea Hand, the photographer for “Dinner With the Smileys,” and on a weekly basis, my relationship with my three boys is reflected back at me.

Andrea is not your typical photographer. That’s why

I picked her. She is a storyteller.

Her words are images. avy But when Andrea told me that she likes to “capture the ordinary ise moments of a family,” I grew a little concerned. There are few arah “ordinary” moments among miley my boys. Our moments usually involve lightsabers, tussles on the floor and fake Groucho Marx-like glasses and mustaches.

Was Andrea prepared to see how weird my family really is?

With patience, Andrea told me, I would see moments I never knew existed and that our motherson relationship would unfold in the images.

At our first session, the only thing I saw was Lindell crawling on the floor, acting like a dog. All of the boys needed a haircut and I was shocked and embarrassed that I had in fact let them wear old, stained t-shirts to “Dinner With the Smileys.”

Then Andrea put several of the photos together in a sequence. She played them for me as a slideshow. In the first image, Lindell was at the table with the family and our guest. In the next image, he was on the floor with the dog. The third and fourth images had him crawling into my lap, petting my face and laying his head on my shoulder. In the the last photograph, he was on the floor again with the dog.

“It’s like there’s a rubber band between the two of you,” Andrea said. Lindell eats, leaves the table, comes back to my lap and then leaves again. Andrea had dozens of pictures of this same “routine” from different

WASHINGTON – Former Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords Feb. 10 heard Navy Secretary Ray Mabus announce that the newest ship in the Navy inventory will be named in her honor.

The Navy’s fifth Independence-variant littoral combat ship, 10th in the LCS series, will be commissioned as the USS Gabrielle Giffords, Mabus said during a ceremony in the Pentagon’s center courtyard.

“You make this occasion special by your presence,” Mabus told Giffords. “What you did in Congress for our military, and for those who serve in it, gave substance to what America feels for those in uniform.”

Littoral combat ships are a major part of the Navy’s future, capable of “an amazing variety of missions,” and one of the sea service’s most versatile, valuable ships, the secretary said.

“The name this ship bears, and the story represented by that name, will inspire all those who come in contact with her,” he said, noting that Giffords serves as a living example of the Navy’s motto of “Semper Fortis” -“Always Courageous.”

“Unwavering courage has defined the Navy for 236 years, and it is what we expect and what we demand

Navy Secretary Ray Mabus, former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona and her husband, retired astronaut Mark Kelly, attend a ceremony at the Pentagon, Feb. 10, 2012. Mabus announced the naming of the Navy’s newest next variant littoral combat ship, USS Gabrielle Giffords, at the ceremony.

Giffords was critically wounded in 2011 by a gunman in Tucson, Ariz. DOD

from our sailors every single day,” Mabus said. “So it’s very appropriate that LCS 10 be named for someone who has become synonymous with courage, who has inspired the nation … and showed the possibilities of the human spirit.”

Giffords was shot in the head in an apparent assassination attempt during a public event in Tucson, Ariz., in January 2011. She was one of 13 people wounded, while six others were killed.

She is a Navy spouse whose husband, astronaut Mark Kelly, retired from the Navy in 2011. Giffords stepped down from her seat representing Arizona’s 8th congressional district in January, saying she needed time to recover.

Mabus also announced today the ship’s sponsor will be Roxanna Green.

Green, who also attended the ceremony, is the mother of Christina-Taylor Green, a 9-year-old girl who was

“It is a great pleasure for me to be here today to mark the completion of the most significant improvement in the overhaul capability here at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard [and Intermediate Maintenance Facility] in several decades,” said Dicks. “This project, the upgrade and expansion of Pier Bravo,

is absolutely critical to the future of the Shipyard.

The longer and stronger pier and the enhanced efficiencies this new construction will allow adds even greater value to the Navy’s strategic assets here at Naval Base Kitsap.”

Ship repair, maintenance and modernization requirements for Nimitzclass aircraft carriers determine Pier Bravo’s concept and multi-year construction.

today’s nuclear powered aircraft carriers, such as the USS John C. Stennis and the USS Ronald Reagan, but this project provides the [shipyard] with all the essential infrastructure that our nation’s next generation of aircraft carriers will require,” said Dicks.

The pier is the primary support facility providing essential services to aircraft carriers during Docking Planned Incremental Availabilities

performed in Dry Dock 6.

“This project demolished the existing Pier Bravo, constructed a new ship repair wharf and provided additional space for the lay down you see here today,” said Capt. Pat Rios, commanding officer, NAVFAC NW. “It is continuous with Dry Dock 6 and, used together, creates a carrier hub where carrier material readiness can be conducted.”

Now Pier Bravo is 120 feet wide by 1,320 feet

long, making it more than twice as wide and 125 feet longer than before construction started in May 2008.

“Pier Bravo’s structure is 6 million pounds of reinforced steel, 13,000 yards of concrete, and over 5 miles of piping and 14 miles of electrical cabling all to make this happen,” said Rios. “All that investment is investment that went out into the community to help during these tough economic times. It is

fantastic investment both in the capability of Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and IMF, the community here in Bremerton and this entire area.”

With the improvements to Pier Bravo, the shipyard workforce can be more efficient by eliminating waste, transportation, and waiting, by bringing the work force closer to the worksite.

“That’s what this does for us. I can’t wait until

said Reuter. “There were so many more people out of their rooms just to see and observe what was going on with the Sailors. It was a huge morale boost for the residents here.”

For some Sailors, the visit with the veterans was an opportunity to reflect and

learn some of the history of the Navy.

“I had a very positive experience and I learned a lot from these veterans,” said Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Equipment) 2nd Class (AW) Rachel Brunmeir. “I found it very interesting to interact with these people

because they are a part of our history and we can learn a lot from them. It was great to learn a little about the Navy’s past and its traditions that still carry on today.”

Active duty personnel are welcomed to volunteer at the home, said Reuter.

I was trying to talk. The pictures showed something else entirely. They showed a little boy who is beginning to think about the larger world but who always comes back to the safety of his mother’s lap.

The photographs don’t show my older boys doing this. Indeed, someday the rubber band between me and Lindell will also snap.

I usually hire photographers to capture the big moments, like at a wedding.

Who knew that having one follow your family on a regular day could capture the even bigger moments?

On a different night, Andrea showed me a slideshow of Ford talking at the table. Ford always has had a larger-than-life presence.

He can talk for hours if left unchallenged. So I try, as best I can, to manage his opportunities to talk and tell stories, leaving room for the other boys. It’s a delicate balance, but my fear has been that Owen will resent his older brother for stealing the spotlight.

In Andrea’s slideshow, one-by-one, I saw something else. When Ford speaks, Owen looks at him adoringly. His eyes twinkle. He hangs on every word. He smiles uncontrollably. He waits patiently for Ford to finish, whenever that might be.

I had never given it much thought, but this is the way Ford and Owen’s relationship has always been. Ford takes center stage, and Owen loves him for it.

Someday, Owen will probably marry someone alot like Ford. And he will look at his wife in the same way. He will be steady and patient, adoring her while she dances around him. His expression will give it all away.

I wonder if they will ever see it?

themselves,” said Reuter.

“What they’ve done through their military service a long time ago still continues today. I feel the Nimitz did well making that connection with our veterans. It might not seem apparent, but just sitting there with them is such a huge gift.”

The time Sailors spent with the residents was greatly appreciated and had a huge impact on the them, said Reuter.

“They looked ten years younger from seeing that active duty personnel care,”

fence | from PAGE 1 would work or whether the barrier would ease the workload of security officers, saying that such questions could be “vulnerable to us.”

Break-ins to the Bangor base by anti-nuclear protest groups were the subject of security discussions back in 2009, said Leonard Eiger, spokesman for Ground Zero Center for Nonviolent Action.

A group of five Disarm Now Plowshares members cut through several fences at Bangor base to reach the weapons storage area before

During the construction of the pier, two key contract milestones were successfully completed by Nova Group and joint ven-

being arrested by security officers Nov. 2, 2009.

Another incident that year involved placing a ladder over the fence.

“There was a real response from Navy back then. Thinking, planning, analysis, what can we do to increase security, fence detection devices,” Eiger said. “But I think that’s simmered down.”

Eiger said he doubts that the barrier has anything to do with anti-nuclear protestors. However, he takes issue with project’s price tag.

“I don’t know how $6.9 million goes for fencing,” Eiger said. “20 layers of

fences, what does that buy us? And how much security is really necessary to guard?”

Washington Patriot Construction Company, who beat out four other bids for the installation of the passive vehicle barriers, expects to complete work by Dec. 2013.

The work is part of a multiple-award construction contract awarded by NAVFAC Northwest.

The construction company previously received a $2.7 million contract in Aug. 2010 to “modernize” the Non-Destructive Testing Lab and HVAC in Building 431 at PSNS & IMF in Bremerton.

First, the completion of supporting the overhaul of the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz in Dry Dock 6, Nov. 1, 2010. Then, overall completion of the pier in time to support the arrival of the Nimitz class aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan, Jan. 10.

“It was a really tough job to get started; we had a few obstacles to overcome. We pulled it together, and you can see it’s a great project

that came in on time and on budget and made it in time to see the Ronald Reagan here,” said Scott Victor, president of Nova Group. “It is really nice to see [Ronald Reagan] pulled up to the Pier, everything plugged in and turned on and everything working very, very well.”

The pier will also provide a homeport berthing space for another aircraft carrier at NBK. Pier Bravo was originally constructed in 1946.

Yester day ’s Fleet

Holland was a vital warrior Its service to subs was indispensable.

Built by Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, the submarine tender USS Holland (AS-3) was commissioned June 1, 1926, and served in the Pacific theater during World War II. Holland displaced 8,100 tons and was 484 feet long with a draft of 16 feet nine inches. A total of 388 men served on board. With a top speed of 16 knots, the ship had eight, 5-inch and four, 3-inch gun mounts.

Holland departed PSNS April 24 and steamed to San Francisco to become flagship for submarines in the Pacific Battle Fleet. The ship trans-

ferred to San Diego where it began servicing submarines and made periodic voyages to Panama to service boats in the Canal Zone.

On Nov. 5, 1930, Holland became flagship for then Capt. Chester Nimitz, commander, Submarine Divisions, Battle Fleet.

Holland temporarily served as Submarine Force Flagship until June 1941 when it became flagship of Submarine Squadron 2.

Holland arrived at Cavite Naval Base in the Philippines Nov. 22, 1941, to service submarines of the Asiatic Fleet. Because of air raids in

early December, the ship was rushed out of Manila Bay in the dark of night because her capabilities were deemed vital to the fleet.

Heading south, the ship escaped unscathed and after repairing a heavily damaged submarine at Soerabaja, Java, and picking up two escort destroyers, the ship sailed to Darwin, Australia, to commence submarine repair and pier construction.

The ship returned to Tjilaljap, Java, to remove Rear Adm. Charles Lockwood and his Asiatic Fleet Submarine Force Staff to Australia for safety. Later the tender was awarded the navy unit Commendation for its efforts during the early portion of World War II. Holland returned stateside for an overhaul at Mare Island Navy Yard in late February 1943. Back at Pearl Harbor in early June 1943,

Holland completed 22 refits and 13 repairs jobs in one 11-month period.

Moving to Midway Atoll June 1, 1944, Holland sailed the following month for the Marianas until returning to Pearl Harbor where it was outfitted to be the headquarters for Vice Adm. James Lockwood, commander Submarine Force Pacific Fleet.

By the close of hostilities with Japan, Holland had completed 55 refits and provided repair and service to 20 surface craft and various jobs on shore installations.

Holland was then designated as a repair ship (ARG-18) as the ship’s value to the submarine force had diminished with newer and modern tenders entering the fleet.

After a number of alterations the ship sailed for Buckner Bay, Okinawa, and

“Roxanna Green continues to express her daughter’s hope for the future,” Mabus added, “and as the president said, of ‘a nation as good as she imagined.’”

Giffords and Green “will be a part of the life of this ship, and our Navy’s history,” he said.

Kelly and former Missouri Rep. Ike Skelton, former chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, also were present at today’s ceremony. They, along with Giffords and Green, met with Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta and other DOD leaders before the event.

“The secretary was delighted to meet with Gabby Giffords at the Pentagon earlier today,” Pentagon Press Secretary George Little said. “The new ship, which will bear her name, will stand as a testament to courage and resilience, inspiring all those who serve our nation. He wished her all the best as she continues to recover from the tragedy that injured her and took the lives of others.”

Each individual is different and many out there may have found something they believe works for them, and it certainly may. But if you’re seeking protein after your workout, reach for some low sodium beef jerky or a handful of raw almonds. These two foods are high in protein. If you’re seeking a better diet, resort to the method of eating less but eating more often. This, in effect, raises your metabolism.

Barack Obama signed into law Giffords’ last piece of legislation, the Ultralight Aircraft Smuggling Prevention Act of 2012.

“This bill gives our nation’s law enforcement expanded authority to combat illicit drug trafficking on our Northern and Southern borders,” Obama said.

“Being able to sign it next to my friend Gabby Giffords gives me enormous pride.”

The president added while the legislation may have been her last act as a congresswoman, “it will not be her last act of public service.”

The LCS 10 is part of a dual block buy of LCS-class ships Mabus announced in December 2010. The ship will be 419 feet long, have a waterline beam of 103 feet, displace about 3,000 tons, and will make speed in excess of 40 knots.

Littoral combat ships are designed to operate in nearshore environments against “anti-access” threats such as mines, quiet diesel submarines and fast surface craft.

The ships are also capable of open-ocean operation.

The LCS class consists of two variants, the Freedom and the Independence, designed and built by teams led, respectively,

But more than anything, staying in shape year round takes the will to do so. If you lack the desire to stay in shape and you’re a member of the military, you need to restructure your priorities, because your physical health is part of you being mission ready. The Navy is cracking down on individuals that lack this will power.
