“Be The Best Partner In The Port”

March 2015

T here is a lot of steel running along the main parking lot fence. Actually, it’s 60 foot long steel I-Beams. Well, this is part of the CMSD Fender System project.

When US Navy Ships are moored at our facility, they are held away from the edge of the pier utilizing spac-ers, called “Fenders”. In the past, CMSD used steel box fenders with rubber bumpers. After many years of use, the steel box fenders have reached the end of their useful life and need to be replaced.

CMSD was fortunate enough to obtain funding to up-grade all Fenders for both pier 4 and 6. The upgrades will include new steel fender pile, steel backer plates and new foam filed fenders. The new fenders provide increased protection to the Ship’s hull, for both impact and abrasion.

Our subcontractor (R. E. Staite) has completed Phase 1 & 2 of the Fender System project (Pier 4 South & Pier 6 North). Phase 3 (Pier 4 North) is scheduled to be completed by 3/16/15. The final phase (Pier 6 South) will be completed during the 4th quarter of this year. CMSD continues to provide our customers with first class facilities and ser-vices; upholding our reputation as the “Best Part-ner in the Port”.

EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH

M eet Feliciano

“Ian”

Cespedes. Ian

started at CMSD in 2009, prior

to that, he managed the floor

at various San Diego night-

clubs.

Ian works in the IT depart-

ment where he is one of several who pro- vides support on

our computers, fax machines, printers and copiers. Lei Wai, his manager, says, “When he is assigned special pro-

jects he takes complete ownership of them until the task is completed and enjoys the challenges that comes his

way.”

Lei tells us that Ian’s primary responsibilities are “helpdesk support, work station setup, data backup and restora-

tion tasks.” She says he has gone the extra mile by “working on after hour’s commitments and working long hours

while maintaining a good attitude.”

Ian’s career goals are “to continue to grow and learn new things, not only in IT related fields, but also within the

shipbuilding/repair industry. His advice to his peers is to “trust the process”.

Ian believes his coworkers and friends would describe him as “loud, talks to much and a hard worker.” His manager

uses these three (3) words to describe him; “professional, helpful and friendly”.

Ian likes working for CMSD because “it is a small company” and this allows him to “get his hands on things that he normally wouldn’t get to do” if this was a bigger company. With Ian’s “reliability, can-do attitude and willingness to learn” this makes him shine in the IT department. He is always willing to help fix any problem that comes across his desk. Ian even takes the time to “explain what caused the problem” to begin with instead of just fixing it and walk-ing away.

When Ian is not at work, he likes to “run and read”. His favorite sports team is the Chargers. When he retires he

wants to do “ballroom dancing”.

Ian would also like us to know that he really hates the train. He says it is, “too loud and he hates getting stuck in

traffic because of it.” No one would argue with those opinions.

Way to shine Ian!

DEPARTMENT OF THE MONTH

M eet our IT department. There are four (4) employees in this technical department. They are Feli-

ciano “Ian” Cespedes, Eric Caparas, Vu Dong and their manager Lei Wai. Almost all of us that have

computers are familiar with at least one if not all of this hardworking team. According to Lei the main responsibili-

ties are to “provide and protect information system services to CMSD computer users”. She goes on to say that

they create “a safe and secure environment for all employees”. The IT department manages the helpdesk, work-

station deployment, net-

work setup, user account

management, maintains

cyber security with a Busi-

ness Continuity Plan, and

manages the company web-

site which recently was ren-

ovated. This past year has

kept them busy with transi-

tions to Windows 7 for all

workstations as well as

many new software up-

grades. They’ve hardened

their cyber security defense

and now have a higher bandwidth for internet

connections. The IT department is small but we all know how important they are. They are continuously learning

and teaching one another new training or technological advances. Their next project is to work with the Naval base

telecom to boost the connection speed for the offsite offices. Lei is grateful for having such great team players. She

says with pride, “our department is more than the sum of all talents, we are a result of the multiplications of all tal-

ents”. What a true statement. Keep up the good work, IT!

Superior Results through Teamwork

Fire Drill at CMSD Almost everyone in the maritime industry has heard about the USS Miami fire in 2012. It changed naval maritime fire prevention practices the industry over. What is lesser known is a document declassified in June of 2014 titled “The Final Com-mand Investigation Into The Fire That Occurred Onboard the USS Mi-ami (SSN755) at the Portsmouth Na-val Shipyard On 23 May 2012.” The investigation uncovered some sig-nificant findings. On the first page of the Executive Summary, third par-agraph it states; “Even though the fire was intentionally set, there was a window of opportunity to control, contain, and extinguish the fire in the early stages of the casualty. Hu-man error and a poorly coordinated response be-tween ships force and PNSY firefighters allowed the fire to fully develop causing extensive damage.” In addi-tion, the method of attack and some of the hardware used was different between the two agencies.

Shortly after the first reports of an initially small fire by an arsonist in 2012, CMSD suspected joint training, com-munication, and hardware variances were contributing factors. Based on observations of the San Diego ship repair fire suppression systems and hearing differences of opinion on areas of responsibility between the Navy and Civilian fire teams we realized it was not only a problem with fire prevention but fire suppression that our

industry would need to correct.

Knowing that changing fire fighter’s perspectives would take time and a lot of behavioral modification, CMSD addressed the hardware disparities first in 2013. Traditional shipboard fire trees don’t typically have a fire department connection (FDC) of the right thread size/count. Developing the Direct Attack Fire Suppres-sion System (DAFSS) changed the way fire teams attack a fire. The DAFSS system is installed at the normal ship fire stations and operates exactly the same which avoids the need to retrain Navy firefighters on our fire tree operation and limita-tions. The DAFSS also allows the Civilian teams to connect their hoses by simply removing an adapter within seconds.

Historically the Navy indicated they would fight fire onboard and the City of San Diego Fire Department (SDFD) assumed a defensive position on the pier to pro-tect landside assets. To address the areas of responsibility, communication and tactical differences, CMSD approached the SDFD and some of the Navy Damage Control (DC) teams for ships in our yard with a proposal to integrate the two agencies onboard while allowing them to apply their differing trained tactics. Early meetings between CMSD, SDFD and Navy DCs explored a Unified Command Incident Command System (ICS). The ICS is a management system designed to

enable efficient incident management by integrating a combination of facilities, equipment, personnel, proce-dures, and communications operating within a common organizational structure. ICS is normally structured to facilitate activities in five major functional areas: command, operations, planning, logistics, Intelligence & Investi-gations, finance and administration. It is a fundamental form of management during urgent conditions without sacrificing attention to any component of the command system. All parties agreed to drill under an ICS with the Navy attacking directly and the SDFD providing perimeter cooling and support onboard, as well as on the pier. CMSD volunteered a Tier 1 confined space rescue team to extricate an injured, unconscious victim with smoke inhalation during the exercise.

A large scale 4 hour fire drill was conducted at CMSD on February 10, 2015. Response planning prior to the drill allowed the Navy DC and SDFD Fire Chiefs and the CMSD Medical and Rescue Team Leaders to understand roles and responsibilities, communications, and available resources. The planning and ICS allowed the drill to go off brilliantly. Both the Navy and SDFD teams agreed fire attack and cooling tactics were superior. CMSD’s rescue and medical team responded from the office, set up two extrication systems, sent two SCBA equipped rescuers 5 decks down a trunk to clear a smoke filled engine room, found and stabilize the victim and had him hooked and heading for clear air in 7 minutes. After carefully navigating 5 decks of hoisting, the patient was turned over to Corpsman 13 minutes later. The rapid rescue was noted by Ship’s Force personnel who stated, “That was way faster than us” and “we can’t do that.” Afterwards, the DC team invited CMSD to hold extrication training for their members.

As a result of these successes SWRMC has also requested our lessons learned to help shape shipyard capabilities in their Fire Prevention Plan, National Incident Management System, and National Response Framework (NIMS/NRF). To the best of our knowledge this may be the first successful integration of Ship’s Force, Municipal Fire De-partment and private sector personnel under the ICS during a naval war vessel drill.

Monitoring & Measuring Equipment Lab (Cal Lab)

SPOTLIGHT EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH

M eet Frank Flores Jr. Frank is a Coordina-

tor in the Environmental Health & Safe-

ty (EH&S) department. He was born

and raised in San Diego and first started working for

CMSD back in 2006. He knew working for CMSD

would be great and allow him, “to be able to utilize his

skills and knowledge in the EH&S field and be an

amazing company to grow with.”

Frank has worked in the shipyard industry for about eighteen (18) years now. His responsibilities are: Environ-

mental, Health and Safety inspections on board all CMSD contracts/ships. Dewey Youngerman, the EH&S Manag-

er, says that Frank has made a difference within CMSD because he “has become the face of EH&S due to his abil-

ity to be on the deck plates all day long, making good risk assessments and providing reasonable solutions.” He

continues praising Frank as a true EH&S professional and “his ability to evaluate a work site or dig deep into an

investigation.” Frank continues to grow and he is very proud that he has been able to obtain his OSHA 5410 &

5400 and has become a certified OSHA Trainer. He said, “Making sure everyone goes home safely at the end of

the day is what makes me proud to do my job.” He is described by his manger as being “accurate, efficient,” and

“problem-solving.” Way to shine in the Spotlight, Frank!

The department otherwise known as the ‘Cal Lab’ provides direction for the control and verification of CMSD

Monitoring and Measuring Equipment (MME). This department establishes a calibration system to ensure the

accuracy of equipment used by CMSD trades is in conformance with specified requirements for products and/or

services provided to the customers. The Cal Lab also complies with all other requirements to maintain CMSD ISO

Quality Management System and SSPC – QP1 certifications.

The Cal Lab ensures that the vendors used to calibrate equipment are in conformance with the requirements laid

out in NAVSEA Standard Items 009-04 (current year). They make sure all the equipment being used on Navy ves-

sels has a current calibration sticker and is in proper working condition. The Cal Lab custodian maintains an in-

ventory of all instruments, and a system for employees to check out what they need to use to complete their

tasks. The custodian also maintains all checkpoint information on each instrument/gage used for Tests and In-

spections for the Navy.

The MME custodian, also qualified as a QA Inspector, provides assistance for performing inspections in the yard,

or for any other needs by the Ship Programs.

News from Security Elicitation & Recruitment

Elicitation – What is it?

Elicitation is a commonly used and highly effective intelligence-gathering technique to subtly collect information

thru direct personal interaction with sources of information.

Remember: Social networking offers almost unlimited opportunities to gather information through direct personal

contact.

Elicitation is conducted by a well-trained and skillful intelligence professional, and appears to be a normal, perhaps

even mundane, social or professional discussion and can take place virtually anywhere and at any time. In actuali-

ty, though, elicitors focus their questions on issues of importance to their intelligence service and exploit the sub-

ject’s desire to be cordial, interesting, and helpful.

Elicitation – The Threat

Intelligence and terrorist organizations are skillful at taking advantage of professional and social opportunities to

interact with people who have access to classified or proprietary information.

Typically, the objectives of foreign intelligence officers are to identify and assess people for their suitability as spies

or as an individual who is careless with work-related knowledge.

As you should be aware, our employees are of interest to foreign intelligence services and terrorist organizations.

Know that Intelligence officers can look like anyone and approaches are almost never made impulsively, but are

actually the result of detailed planning and thorough assessment of the target.

Recruitment

Recruitment is obtaining cooperation from someone to provide sensitive or classified information.

An intelligence service typically conducts recruitment after careful assessment and patient cultivation of the target.

By the time the offer to work for the foreign government or entity (the “pitch”) is made, the intelligence officer (IO)

is relatively confident of the target’s willingness to cooperate

If the target agrees to the recruitment, that person becomes an “asset” (a spy). The IO handles the asset by clan-

destinely receiving the information, paying the asset, and guiding the asset in illicit collection activities.

Security Debriefing and Acknowledgement

Continental Maritime of San Diego (CMSD) employees that have been granted a security clearance must be de-briefed prior to transfer, retirement, termination, or when access to classified is no longer required to perform their job. The security debriefing certifies that all classified materials in the employee’s possession have been returned and a security debrief has been conducted.

Typical Defense Security Service (DSS) Interview Questions: When was your last access to classified information and at what level? Access to classified information for which you have proper clearance is expected to have been within the previous 12 months. Access can be in the form of written information, oral conversation, meetings, training, or handling of material. If classified access to your current security clearance level has not been needed in the previous 12 months, contact your supervisor or Facility Security Officer to discuss reduction or removal of your clearance until access to classified information is required again.

Have you ever heard classified information being discussed? For personnel who have never held a security clearance the typical answer should be “NO”. For personnel who hold, or previously held a security clearance the response may be “YES”. If you are unsure

Expert Tips: Make 2015 the Year of Strong Passwords Passwords, as the cornerstone of powerful security, deserve far more attention than they receive. Why not change that this year? Following these commonsense tips will help you protect your personal and business data:

Never give out your password to anyone. Never give it to friends, even if they’re really good friends. A friend can – maybe even accidentally – pass your pass-word along to others (or even become an ex-friend by abusing it).

10

Don’t write it down.

You can never hide it well enough to prevent a determined thief from finding it.

Don’t just use one password. It’s possible that someone working at a site where you use that password could pass it on or use it to break into your accounts at other sites.

Create passwords that are easy to remember but hard for others to guess. When possible, start with a phrase such as “I started 7th grade at Lincoln Middle School in 2004,” and use the initial of each word like this: Is7gaLMSi2004. And make them at least a little different (by adding a couple of unique letters) for each site.

Make the password at least 8 characters long. The longer the better; it’s really as simple as that.

Include numbers, capital letters, and symbols. Consider using a $ instead of an S, or a 1 instead of an L, or including an & or % (but note that $1ngle is not a good password; thieves have figured that one out). On the other hand, Mf$1avng (short for “My friend Sam is a very nice guy”) is an excellent password.

Don’t use dictionary words. If it’s in the dictionary, there’s too good a chance someone will guess it. Moreover, “cracking” software allows crimi-nals to guess every word in the dictionary. Yes, in multiple languages. ©2015 National Security Institute

Did you know?

If there is a situation when you may find yourself in trouble or feel you might be in danger (i.e. an employee/visitor becomes irate), you can pick up any company telephone, dial 80 and announce “your name + location + code 99”. This will indicate to Security that there is an emergency and they will respond.

Shaping an Ethical Culture

“An ethical culture is shaped by us. Right now. By our personal sense of priorities, our daily behaviors, atti-

tudes, beliefs, and intentions.” - Price Pritchett

At CMSD we have set high ethical standards. We expect all employees to act with integrity and honesty in all

company dealings. We also expect employees to comply with laws that govern our business, maintain an ethi-

cal and professional work environment, and comply with company policies and procedures.

Although leadership sets the tone and culture of an organization, it is imperative that all employees are com-

mitted to the highest ethical standards. Each of us must challenge ourselves to create and maintain a culture of

ethics. Don’t just talk the talk but walk the walk. Try to understand how this company’s ethics and compliance

program works, and how your role as an employee fits into the program. Make it one of your responsibilities to

help shape an ethical culture. As a company, we want to take ethics and compliance to the next level – A World

Class Ethics and Compliance Program. Here’s how you can help.

Avoid behavior that demeans, degrades, abuses

or shows disrespect to any individual.

Foster a positive work culture and lead by exam-

ple.

Communicate and talk about ethics and compli-

ance every chance you get.

Report an ethical concern to your supervisor/

foremen right away.

Ensure you understand and complete your train-

ing requirements.

Demonstrate your personal commitment to high

ethical standards.

Know and live by our company values.

Read the Code of Ethics and use it as a quick refer-

ence for complying with proper conduct and

standards.

Compliance Corner

Work Compliance Plans (WCP) were implemented to ensure periodic re-

views and compliance with Huntington Ingalls Industries (Corporate) busi-

ness practices, policies and internal controls. The WCP’s provide reasona-

ble steps to communicate the Company’s standards and procedures in a

practical manner. Each work plan outlines the responsibilities, and in-

cludes a risk assessment and communication plan to facilitate timely dis-

covery of improper conduct.

There are a total of 41 Core Elements of the Work Compliance Plans and in the upcoming newsletters, Busi-

ness Management will be providing employees with a summary of the procedures that comply with each of

the required core elements.

Anti-boycott

Corporate Procedure CO X108 International Trade Practices

Assigned Responsibility/At-risk: Contracts, Estimating and Material Support

Summary

Anti-boycott laws discourage, and in many cases prohibit, United States (“U.S.”) companies from partici-

pating in or supporting boycotts that are not sanctioned by the U.S. They have the effect of preventing U.S.

companies like CMSD, from being used to implement foreign policies of other nations which run counter to

U.S. policy. While the anti-boycott laws primarily are aimed at countering the Arab boycott of Israel, the laws

apply to all foreign government boycotts that are not sanctioned by the U.S.

CMSD is restricted from engaging in any of the following anti-boycott activities:

Agreeing in a contract, purchase order, letter of credit or other agreement to refuse or actually re-fusing to do business with or in Israel or with blacklisted companies.

Agreeing to discriminate or actually discriminating against other persons based on race, religion, sex, national origin or nationality.

Agreeing to furnish or actually furnishing information about business relationships with or in Israel or with blacklisted companies.

Agreeing to furnish or actually furnishing information about the race, religion, sex, or national origin of another person.

13

Anti-boycott laws also require CMSD to report:

Requests received to take certain actions to comply with, further, or support an unsanctioned foreign boycott; and

Business operations in, with, or related to a boycotting country or its nationals.

Responsibilities and Risk Assessment

There are several processes and reviews in place to detect and mitigate anti-boycott issues.

At the CMSD level:

Contracts Department reviews each contract submission, and reviews them for any anti-boycott is-sues.

At the Corporate level, the Law Department is:

required to perform a legal review of teaming arrangements or other business agreements when a Business Unit agrees to participate with an outside entity or entities in a joint project that is intended to produce either immediate or future revenues.

also required to approve all foreign proposals over $1 million. required to provide a legal analysis of all proposals requiring corporate office approval.

Communication Plan

It is important for CMSD employees to:

request compliance help whenever they encounter a potential boycott situation. immediately report to the International Compliance Office or the Law Department any request they

receive to participate in any of the boycott activities outlined above.

March Fitness Article

S ome may know Alexander “Alex” Brown as a Tool Room Attendant here at CMSD. But in Alex’s spare

time he trains and builds his body. It is what he does “in the spare time” that the newsletter will focus on. Seeing Alex around the yard, he’s the same here at work as well as outside of work. He often enters competitions and has just recently placed 1st and 3rd in the pictures below. He said he loves a chal-lenge and takes to heart the judges’ advice. He is 100% com-mitted to walking his talk and breaks it down as 20% Positive Affirmation and 80% Living by Example. For those that see him around the yard or talk to him, he’ll be carrying around a gallon of water and his lunchbox is prepped full of weighed and calcu-lated meals. He says, “Some may think that it's a bit much”, but he assures it's all done for a reason. He has a strong code of ethics that he lives by and those values are: Dedication, Hard

work, Consistency, and Indomitable Will. This interesting young man has a lot of insight in his 25 years of life and it’s worth sharing. We’ll be following him for the next few months and addressing each of those values. Alex has made himself available to all CMSD employees to talk about fitness and diet. He’s willing to share what he knows and impart wisdom from his experience. Although, he is not a physician nor claims to be, he has de-voted himself to learning on the subjects of fitness and nutrition. Alex will regularly have a segment in the Continental Mari-Times com-municating his views of fitness and nutrition. He also is willing to answer any questions and share the advice in the newsletter. So if you have always wanted to know something about body building, fitness training, or nutrition, feel free to “Ask Alex” and email communica-tions at CMSDNews@ContinentalMaritime.com.

Workplace Eye Health and Safety Month

DO YOU LOVE YOUR EYES?

The gift of sight is irreplaceable. Thousands of eye injuries occur in the workplace each year, which makes wearing proper eye protection so important. All it takes is a tiny sliver of metal, particle of dust or splash of chemical to cause significant and permanent eye damage. March, which is Workplace Eye Wellness Month, is a great time to review eye and face protection. OSHA’s eye and face protection standard (1910.133) states, “the employer shall ensure that each affected employee uses appropriate eye or face protection when exposed to eye or face hazards from flying particles, molten metal, liquid chemi-cals, acids or caustic liquids, chemical gases or vapors, or potentially injurious light radiation.” Whether on the job or working on projects around the house, remember to wear proper safety glasses, goggles or face shields. Follow employer guidelines or the safety instructions provided with the equipment, materials or tools you are using. In addition, make sure you have properly fitted protection. For example, if your safety glasses slip, or are crooked or too tight, adjust them. Keep your protective equipment clean to improve visibility. Wash it regularly with mild soap and water or eyeglass cleaner. Polish with a soft cloth or tissue. Use anti-dust and anti-fog sprays to help prevent buildup on your safety glasses. Store your protective equip-ment carefully to avoid damage when not in use. Any damage to lenses or shields can lessen the impact-resistance and result in inadequate protection. When re-moving PPE watch for particles that can still fall into your eyes after working. The human eye is often taken for granted. While people are accustomed to eating healthy foods and receiving the proper amount of exercise, many rarely consider their vision health. When it comes to our eyes, it is most important to protect the eyesight we have been given. During Workplace Wellness Month, remind yourself and other co-workers the importance of the above and how these eye safety ac-tions are easy to incorporate and invaluable to maintain long-term vision health. Remember to seek treatment the same day for eye injuries but most importantly is to avoid them in the first place. If you feel your safety glasses are not fitting properly- stop by the clinic to have it checked out, stop by to try out samples and we will order better fitting ones for you.

N ational Women's History Month was established by presidential proclamation in order to draw attention to and improve the focus on women in historical studies. It began in New York City on March 8, 1857, when female textile workers marched in protest of unfair working conditions and unequal rights for

women. It was one of the first organized strikes by working women, during which they called for a shorter work day and decent wages. Also on March 8, in 1908, women workers in the needle trades marched through New York City's Lower East Side to protest child labor, sweatshop working conditions, and demand women’s suffrage. Beginning in 1910, March 8 became annually observed as International Women's Day. Women’s History Week was instituted in 1978 in an effort to begin adding women’s history into educational curricula. In 1987, the Na-tional Women's History Project successfully petitioned Congress to include all of March as a celebration of the economic, political and social contributions of women.
