LCS Launches Future USS Detroit (LCS 7)Continued from page 1.

“It is an honor to continue supportingthe US Navy with these capable andflexible warships,” said Dale P. Bennett,Executive Vice President of LockheedMartin’s Mission Systems and Trainingbusiness. “The Lockheed Martin-ledteam’s LCS design is lethal, survivable,and affordable. These ships will helpthe Navy achieve its goal to increaseforward presence, and can be up-graded or modified quickly to meet fu-ture missions.”

The US Navy awarded the contract toconstruct Detroit in March 2011 as partof the 2010 block buy contract. Theship is one of five LCS currently underconstruction at Marinette Marine.

“On behalf of Marinette Marine, weare incredibly proud to build theseships for the US Navy,” said Jan All-man, MMC President and CEO/GM.“We continue to streamline ourprocesses and leverage the craftsman-

ship and skills of our employees in producing these high quality vessels for our warfighters.”

The LCS, which is the US Navy's firstfocused-mission ship, is used in anti-submarine warfare, surface warfare,and mine warfare missions. The Lock-heed Martin-led industry team buildingthe Freedom-class ships has already de-livered two ships to the US Navy. USSFreedom (LCS 1) completed a successfuldeployment to Southeast Asia in 2013.USS Fort Worth (LCS 3) will deploy toSoutheast Asia in 2014. Milwaukee(LCS 5) will be delivered to the USNavy in 2015. Detroit (LCS 7) waschristened and launched on Oct. 18,2014. Little Rock (LCS 9), Sioux City(LCS 11), and Wichita (LCS 13) areunder construction. Billings (LCS 15)cut steel on October 20, 2014; the first stage of construction.

Earlier this year, the Navy funded Indi-anapolis (LCS 17) and LCS 19, which isyet to be named.

President’sMessage

Since my arrival at MMC, one of

my “Case for Change” objectives

was effective communication. The

purpose for effective communica-

tion throughout MMC is to provide

clear objectives, accomplishments,

and any follow-up action plans.

Effective communication creates a

strong corporate culture where em-

ployees trust leadership and feel like

they have a voice. For example, if

MMC leadership effectively commu-

nicates with the employees certain

goals and expectations, they in turn

are empowered to accomplish the

goals with a sense of completion.

Tools that were integrated include:

• MMC Operating System

• New MMC Quality Policy

• Metric / Communication Boards

• Process improvement / LEAN 5S

summary sheets and leaflets

• “Work Smart and Efficiently”

• Organization and Directive An-

nouncements

• Bi-Monthly Newsletters

• Monthly meeting with Union

• Quarterly “All-Hands” to

employees

As always, I have an open-door pol-

icy where you are free to communi-

cate directly to me your items of

importance or concerns.

Sincerely,

Jan Allman, President - CEO/GM

MMC Nominated forAward of DistinctionOctober 2014 – Marinette MarineCorp. is pleased to announce thatwe are a nominee for the prestigious2014 Manufacturing Awards of Dis-tinction for outstanding achieve-ments in manufacturing this year.

Wisconsin manufacturers have hadmore than their fair share of adver-sity. Yet, similar to MMC, many arethriving and growing as they over-come tough times, creating newjobs, increasing sales, and movinginto new markets. It’s achievementslike this that have made MMC wor-thy of this special recognition.

“We are honored to be nominatedfor this award. The recognitiongained for our nomination will better position us for future Government and commercial programs,” said Jan Allman, MMCPresident and CEO/GM.

The Manufacturing Awards of Dis-tinction, sponsored by Advance Economic Development/Green BayArea Chamber of Commerce, honorsexcellence in manufacturing inNortheast Wisconsin.

Awards are presented to outstandingmanufacturers in categories based oncompany size and workforce devel-opment. This year’s event will beheld on November 12, 2014 at theRadisson Hotel and ConventionCenter in Green Bay, WI.

In addition, we also want to congratulate Bay Shipbuilding Co.(BSC) for their nomination. MMCand BSC are two of the twelve companies nominated for this outstanding award.

As the awareness of LEAN 5S methodsgrow at MMC, the organization of steelplate around Building 30 became thetarget. Rather than simply throwingsteel in a pile on the ground or in a recycling bin, a teamlead by Dave Pullen, Joe Denny and JenGruszynski with supporting func-tional groups such as material managers,engineering and material handlersbegan to “Sort andStraighten,” two ofthe key processes inthe LEAN 5S methodology.

Sort – The teamsorted through thepiles of steel plate tomake sure only essen-tial items were retained. Scrap or obso-lete materials and fixtures not used inour fabrication process were elimi-nated. In the end, everything wasstored or discarded.

Straighten – The team continued withstraightening and organizing itemsaround Building 30 in order to focuson efficiency. This is more than just po-sitioning the steel where it will be usedand in the sequence it will be used; it is“straightening” the work path for mate-rials and the work process as well. Ofall the steps we took, this produced thegreatest cost reductions.

Other Key Efforts:• Validating inventory in BAAN and

Building 30 records• Utilizing fabricated fixtures to move

and store material• Additional storage crates

and fixtures are beingmade to reduce foot-print and organize manufactured material

• Consolidating inventoryfrom the K&K ware-house yard

• Discussing options for future consolidation and improved opera-tions across MMC Manufactured Parts

This project is scheduled tobe completed by Novem-ber 1, 2014. Once com-plete, the parts area Southof Building 30 will becomea Red Zone with access

given to authorized personnel only.This Red Zone approach will allow theBuilding 30 Business Team to ensure theintegrity of the physical and electronicinventory and its location. This willprovide confidence that the materialwill be available when required; thusimproving schedule and reducing cost.

It is critical to LCS program success thatthe cost and operational inefficienciesand risk, resulting from obtaining mate-rial in an ‘unbounded’ manner versusreceiving material that is correctly out-bounded on a work order, be stoppedimmediately.

ACE Marine Delivers First LCS Modules to MMCAfter months of preparation, this was truly a team effort betweena number of hardworking MMC and ACE Marine employees.

CBP Coastal Interceptor Vessel Bid for ACE Marine

The CIVs will pursue

suspect vessels and enable

CBP personnel to board

and search such vessels;

arrest violators; and seize

the vessel and any

contraband it is carrying.

October 2014 – Fincantieri MarineGroup (FMG) submitted a bid forthe Customs and Border Protection(CBP) Coastal Interceptor Vessel(CIV) as a new pipe-line opportunityfor ACE Marine in Green Bay. TheCIV is based on a 2012 prototypewith several mission system, per-formance, and general arrangementchanges.

The new CBP high speed intercept

vessel is being designed for a variety

of homeland security and law en-

forcement missions operating in the

littoral waters and in offshore areas

of the US and its territories in vary-

ing seas and weather conditions.

The proposal effort was performed

at the MMC location, with key

support from MMC, ACE, and BSC

personnel. It was a real team effort

and if we successfully win the bid in

January 2015 we will construct a

prototype in, followed by produc-

tion orders up to 85

over the 5-year

contract.

October 3, 2014 – On a cold and rainy Friday morning, a handful of ACE and MMC employees busily workedtogether to test and load the barge that would carry the first two ACE builtaluminum modules to Marinette.

Planning and design of the new ACELCS production facility transformationbegan a couple of months prior to the aluminum module construction at ACE. Luke Tomberlin/MMC and JeffFrank/ACE led the joint effort to work together as an integrated teamon the logistics, facility, and processmodifications needed to seamlesslytransition from RB-M to LCS modulemanufacturing.

As part of the team, there were manyoutstanding contributions. Kurt Bour-bonnais/MMC provided program management coordination and logis-tics, Jim Smith/ACE, Karl Stangel, Kristi Ebsch, Rick Swidergal/MMC led the PP&C work, Scott Bell/MMCand Steve Wilson/ACE coordinatedshipping and receiving, Dennis Giese/ACE and Brian Fowler/MMC led Quality Assurance (QA) inspection,Adam Clark/MMC provided purchasingsupport, and Todd Christian/MMC

managed facility and capital investments.

To make possible the transportation ofthe finished modules, a 30’h x 65’w exterior door was added to the mainACE production line to access a largedeck barge moored directly outside theEast wall of the building on the FoxRiver. Because the barge deck would be higher than the floor level of theACE facility, Charlie Jackson/MMCfrom the Methods department de-signed the unique ramps and bridgesused between the building and barge.

Dave Brandon and Rebel Lindemoen/MMC were on hand to maneuver andoperate the KAMAG transporter. Afterless than two weeks of load tests andtrial runs with the ramps, they movedthe two modules from inside the ACEfacility over the ramp and bridges, andonto the barge with ease.

Due to high wind conditions, the towof the barge carrying the modules wasdelayed until Sunday. In fair weatherconditions, the barge expected traveltime from Green Bay to Marinettewould only be 5-6 hours.

ACE and MMC will be transportingfour additional LCS modules in Novem-ber. Due to the thick ice in Green Bayover the winter, the modules manufac-tured during this time will be com-pleted and stored indoors until theshipping season resumes in April 2015.

August 2014 – Nearly 60 years after

one of the worst maritime disasters to

occur in US waters, the Andrea Doriawas detected by the R/V Sikuliaq resting

on the ocean floor just off the coast of

Nantucket, Massachusetts. Images of

her were taken by the most recent

MMC constructed ARRV during sonar

calibration by the Kongsberg EM710

Multibeam Sonar.

Although she lies on her side, with the

overlay of the hull profile you can still

distinguish her shape. The sonar color

lineup on the images shows reds as the

strongest return with blue/green being

the weakest. Stronger (RED) returns

come from rock or hard surfaces, while

mud or silt of the ocean floor returns

are blue/green. Thus colors transition

from Red, Orange, Yellow, Green to

Blue; this is relative to hardness or

strength of return (hard to soft).

On 25 July 1956, while the Andrea

Doria was bound for New York City

from Italy, the eastbound MS Stockholmcollided with it in what became one of

history's most infamous maritime disas-

ters. Struck in the side, the top-heavy

Andrea Doria immediately started to list

severely to starboard, which left half of

its lifeboats unusable. The efficiency of

the ship's technical design allowed it to

stay afloat for over 11 hours after the

ramming. 1,660 passengers and crew

were rescued and survived, while 46

people died with the ship as a conse-

quence of the collision. Citation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Andrea_Doria

Each year the crew of the US Coast

Guard Cutter James Rankin, a 175-foot

coastal buoy tender homeported in

Curtis Bay, sets the historic Francis

Scott Key buoy in the Patapsco

River near the Francis Scott

Key Bridge. This buoy marks

the spot where the ship carry-

ing Francis Scott Key was

anchored during the bombard-

ment of Fort McHenry in 1814.

September 2014 marked 200 years

since the battle of

Fort McHenry

which inspired

Francis Scott Key

to put pen to

paper and write

the poem that

inspired our

national anthem.

As he watched the battle of Fort

McHenry unfold, he was amazed to

find the flag that flew over the fort

survived the 25 hour onslaught

of enemy fire. He was so

moved by the sight that

he wrote the poem the

“Star Spangled Banner.”

The US Coast Guard Cutter

James Rankin is the fifth of four-

teen cutters of the Keeper Class of

WLM coastal buoy tenders constructed

by Marinette Marine Corp. Placed in

commission on May 1, 1999 in Balti-

more’s Inner Harbor, James Rankin and

her sister ships form a fleet of techni-

cally advanced and highly capable buoy

tenders. James Rankin and her crew are

responsible for maintenance of over

400 buoys including the Francis Scott

Key buoy in the Upper Chesapeake

Bay and its tributaries including

the Potomac River up to our

nation’s Capitol.

Hu,

Recently, Bay Shipbuilding Co. (BSC)

launched a super yacht for their neigh-

boring yacht builder, Palmer Johnson

Yachts. For a number of years BSC has

provided the use of their drydock to

Palmer. Depending on schedule, they

have launched up to 4 yachts a year.

This super yacht is the first 48M Super-

Sport yacht with its distinctive gold hull

and black superstructure built by Palmer.

The yacht made its way from the BSC

launch site to CenterPointe Yacht

Services, where it will undergo further

refinements this fall.

The vessel is the largest carbon-compos-

ite super yacht ever built. The material

is “lighter than aluminum and stronger

than steel,” thus reducing its structural

weight by 20 tons. The yacht features a

slender monohull design that can accel-

erate the 500GT yacht to 32 knots using

MTU 2000 series engines and 50% less

fuel consumption. In addition, a wave-

piercing bow is part of her design to

reduce slamming and pitching in head

seas and features an 11M beam to

improve stability.Citation: http://www.superyachttimes.com/editorial/33/article/id/12745

BSC Launches SuperSport Yacht

Palmers says the SuperSport 48M "Redefines the most important parameters of yachting," whichthey claim is to have the most gorgeous shapes and still have the space and comfort of a tradi-tional yacht, and to be fast yet efficient as a displacement yacht.

The Season

of Giving at MMCMake a Child Smile Bringing laughter to a child on Christmas morning is the goal of the Salvation Army’s Toys for Tots program. MMC has been a long-time sponsor of this program and will be again this year. In December, watch for collection bins located at MMC reception. All toys collected will be distributed by the Salvation Army to families in need throughout the greater Marinette/Menominee area.

Angels at MMC In December, MMC will again be sponsoring the Angel Tree, and employees can participate by shopping for a child named on the tree. Each Angel represents one child, their name, age and gift ideas. All items collected will be distributed by St. Vincent de Paul to local families in need.

October 17th – The M&M Community Founda-

tion held the 16th Annual M&M game tailgate

party at the Pullman House in Menominee, MI.

MMC has been a long time supporter of the

Foundation. The local event was MC’d by

Sports Radio 570’s Bill Michaels while former

Green Bay Packer Blaise Winter was the guest

speaker. A bidding war amongst local business

leaders set the bar high at the auction. Two one-

pound bag of caramels combined for $3,500

and four hours of labor donated by students of

the Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) sold for

$1,600. In the end, the Foundation raised over

$30,000 for the area’s youth. Scholarships are

awarded yearly to students in Marinette and

Menominee Counties. In 2013, the Foundation

awarded more than $500,000 in grants and

scholarships. Since 1997, the Foundation has

given back more than $3 Million to the com-

munity in the form of grants and scholarships.

Holiday Food DriveHelping those in need to meet their basic necessities.

More than 600 families face hardship

in the tri-county area during the

holiday season and look to local

food pantries to provide their

essential food items. On October

27th MMC kicked-off its 4th Annual

Holiday Food Drive supporting the

local pantries. Our local food

pantries provide a direct conduit

between those with the ability to

give to those who are in need.

Thanks to the generosity of MMC

folks last year, over 5000 pounds

of food items were collected and

donated to needy families just in

time for the Thanksgiving and

Christmas season. This year the

goal has been set at 6000 pounds;

only 900 pounds more than last

year. The drive will continue through

noon on Tuesday, November 18th.

Although the primary focus is collect-

ing non-perishable food items; other

frequently requested items include

laundry detergent, dental and per-

sonal care items. Place your contribu-

tions in the donation boxes or cash

collection cans located throughout

the MMC buildings and yard. Every

item and every dollar you donate will

help provide food and grocery prod-

ucts to men, women and children

facing hunger in our community.

Whether it is an email from a for-

help him move some dead person’s

assets out of the country in ex-

change for a cut of the loot; the

promise of a free vacation/laptop/

tablet; or an appeal for help from

some allegedly stranded relative

who can email you, but for some

reason cannot call—the phishing

attack is after your personal infor-

mation so the attacker can empty

your bank account.

Often the phisher will pretend to be

your bank, your credit card, PayPal,

your mortgage company, your em-

ployer, or your Internet Service

Provider. In the US they are even

pretending to be the IRS. In all

cases, if you get an email asking for

ANYTHING personal, be skeptical.

Never click a link in one of these

messages. Use a search engine to

find the phone number or contact

information of whoever the suspi-

cious message seems to be from,

and contact them to confirm it.

There are two simple phrases that

apply here; there’s no such thing as a

free lunch, and if it sounds too good

to be true it probably isn’t. Both

apply, and yet everyday people fall

for these attacks because at the end

of the day, most people are nice,

trusting, and think others are too.

The attackers are masters at decep-

tion. They know just what to say,

and how to say it, to have the

maximum effect on their victims.

These are the Internet’s con artists,

flim flam and confidence men,

and grifters. You must be on your

guard against these attacks and be

suspicious of any email you weren’t

expecting.Phishing is an attempt to get

personal information from you.

NO ONE, who is legitimate,

will EVER ask you to email

personal or confidential information

Area Boy Scouts Visit MMC3rd Annual Merit Badge Camp

Exposing young

people to different

career fields is an

excellent way to

ensure that MMC

has a solid local

workforce for future

and sustained growth.

On Saturday, November 8th,

Marinette Marine Corp., Northeast

Wisconsin Technical College (NWTC),

and the Marinette Fire Department

(MFD) will host approximately 75

scouts from the local area and intro-

duce them to the exciting career fields

of shipbuilding and firefighting. The

scouts, ranging from 11 to 18 years of

age, will come to NWTC’s Northcoast

Marine Manufacturing Center and re-

ceive an industry introduction and

hands-on experience.

The three phased, half-day event will

educate the boys on many techniques

of marine welding, an introduction to

basic engineering and manufacturing

principles, firefighting, and an oppor-

tunity to tour the waterfront. At the

conclusion of this year’s event, the

scouts will earn the Fire Safety and

Welding merit badges. If interested

in volunteering for this event, please

contact Chuck Bunton at x6587.
