SOUTH POTOMAC PILOTSOUTH POTOMAC PILOT

By Andrew RevelosNSASP Staff Writer

Every day onboard Naval Sup-port Facility (NSF) Dahlgren, engi-neers and scientists work to refinethe next generation of the navalcombat systems vital for the na-tion's defense. On an installation ashistoric as Dahlgren, however, fo-cusing on the future sometimesmakes it easy to overlook icons ofthe past.

One such icon is on its way toPhoenix, Ariz. where it will assumea place of honor in a state with aname forever associated with Dec.7, 1941.

For decades, the 14-inch/45-cal-iber Mark 12 gun number 41 thatonce called USS Arizona home layforgotten near the gun line of thePotomac River Test Range (PRTR),the Navy's premier site for prooftesting and calibration of navalguns. The 74-ton barrel, breach andyoke was not on the Arizona whenthe Japanese attacked Pearl Harboron Dec. 7, 1941; the gun was re-moved in 1938 for an upgrade andlater saw extensive action onboardUSS Nevada, which fired hundredsof 14-inch shells at D-Day and Op-eration Dragoon in southernFrance.

The latter battle, so often over-shadowed by other operations inthe European theater, included aduel with a formidable Nazi coastaldefense battery known as "BigWillie." FCCM (SW) Steve Skelleyrecounted the action a 1995 articlein the Dahlgren Bullet. According toSkelley, "Big Willie" missed a rough-ly 30,000 yard shot at USS Nevadaby 500 yards. A return salvo fromNevada, the Free French battleshipLorraine and HMS Ramillies de-stroyed one of "Big Willie's" gunsand most of the battery's rangefinding and targeting equipment.

After firing 244 shells, gun 41was removed from the USS Nevadain 1944, relined and placed intostorage. Naval guns of the era weredesignated by number, followed bythe number of times the barrel wasrelined. Number 41 served onboardthe USS Arizona in L configurationand the USS Nevada in L2 configu-ration. After relining a third time,the gun went into storage designat-ed gun 41L3.

USS Nevada saw more action at

the battles of Iwo Jima and Oki-nawa without gun 41L3. In its place,two other 14-inch guns recoveredfrom the USS Arizona were fitted toUSS Nevada.

Destined for World War IImemorial

After leaving NSF Dahlgren bytruck, the gun will travel by rail toPhoenix and become a centerpiece

of a World War II memorial plannedfor Wesley Bolin Plaza near the Ari-zona State Capitol. Gun 41L3 will bejoined on the mall by a 16-inch bar-rel that served onboard USS Mis-souri and was present at the Japan-ese surrender in 1945. The navalguns of the memorial will serve as"bookends" to the American effortin World War II.

In the 1990s, Arizona SenatorJohn McCain sought barrels fromthe USS Arizona, but the barrels inquestion went to a memorial inPennsylvania. Military history en-thusiasts in Arizona kept up thefight and approached the DahlgrenHistory Project in early 2011.

Though the Dahlgren HistoryProject was initially unwilling topart with such an iconic piece ofnaval weaponry, the decision topermanently loan the gun to Ari-zona came easily when Navy histo-rians heard about plans for the me-morial in Phoenix. "It sounded veryimpressive," said Wayne Harmon ofthe Dahlgren History Project.

"We applaud the preservation ofhistoric Navy artifacts. They wouldtake the barrel and clean it up, shine

The 14-inch/45-caliber Mark 12 gun number 41L3 that wasstored in Dahlgren for decades will be included in a PhoenixWorld War II memorial for its service onboard USS Arizonafrom 1925-1938. The gun saw action, however, onboard USSNevada, seen here firing its 14-inch guns off the coast of Nor-mandy on June 6, 1944.

it up. That's something that takes a lot ofmoney to do."

In the case of the 16-inch barrel fromthe USS Missouri, Arizona's planned me-morial saved the barrel from beingscrapped. "We view this as a successfulpreservation effort," said Harmon.

Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennettplayed a lead role in his state's effort to ob-tain both barrels "It's going to be a great ad-dition to our capitol mall complex," he said.

Honoring Arizona's veterans"We have a couple of [other] artifacts

from the USS Arizona: an anchor, the signal

mast head. But we realized we had neverdedicated a World War II memorial in thestate capitol mall. The barrel idea came andwe're going to have pillars with all the Arizo-nans' [who were killed in World War II]names."

Veterans returning home fromWorldWarII changed the face of Arizona. "I hope it saysa lot about our state," said Bennett, whosefather-in-law served during World War II.

"Arizona was really built by veterans

coming home from World War II and [thewars] since. When veterans started cominghome from wars, especially World War II,that's when Arizona experienced its explo-sive growth; it went from half a million peo-ple to now, almost six and half million peo-ple. Veterans obviously have great meaningto our country as a whole, but to Arizona,they built the state."

Bennett expressed gratitude to all the in-dividuals and organizations in Arizona who

helped fund the effort. "We've been doing allof this with private funding," he said. "Thebudget has been around half a million dol-lars. We are well on our way, but still raisingtax monies. We're not using any tax dollars;everything is coming from private contribu-tions."

The Arizona National Guard will spear-head the refurbishment of gun 41L3 andstate officials hope to have the gun ready forceremonies Dec. 7, 2012.

The last USS Arizona gun -bound for a new World War II me-morial exhibit over 2,000 miles away- attracted Arizona state officialsand Navy leaders who watched themammoth gun barrel lifted onto atrailer that departed Naval SupportFacility Dahlgren April 10.

"This gun from the USS Arizonais a significantWorldWar II Navy ar-tifact," said Naval Surface WarfareCenter Dahlgren Division (NSW-CDD) commander Capt. MichaelSmith. "We are grateful for the op-portunity to help the state of Ari-zona preserve and display it at theArizona Capitol Museum where vis-itors can see rare artifacts from theUSS Arizona and its crew."

The 14-inch gun barrel will joina gun from the USS Missouri - en-route to Arizona from Virginia'sNorfolk Naval Shipyard - to exhibitat the Arizona Capitol Museum inPhoenix, scheduled to be dedicatedon Pearl Harbor Day, Dec. 7, 2012.

"We also want to thank Arizonafor preserving the 16-inch Battle-ship Missouri gun barrel," saidSmith. "The USS Arizona and USSMissouri gun barrels represent'bookends' ofWorldWar II - the be-ginning and end - and will greatlyenhance their memorial exhibit."

WorldWar II began after the Ari-zona was sunk at Pearl Harbor andended when the Japanese capitulat-ed aboard the Missouri battleship.

"Thank you for sharing some ofyour history with our state," KenBennett, Arizona's Secretary ofState, told onlookers, including re-

tired Navy Cmdr. Ernie Saunders -commanding officer of Missouriturret gun No. 2 - who witnessed thesurrender in Tokyo Bay.

"This (event) brings back memo-riesthatIhavenotthoughtofinmanyyears," said Saunders, who traveledfrom Newport News, Va., to see theArizona gun move after its hiatus ofmore than 63 years at Dahlgren. "Itfulfilled all my expectations."

The gun barrel - removed fromthe Arizona to be relined beforeWorld War II - was at the DahlgrenNaval Proving Ground for prooftesting when the attack on PearlHarbor occurred on Dec. 7, 1941.

"Dahlgren is proud to supportthe State of Arizona in honoring andcommemorating their citizens'WorldWar II service, dedication andsacrifice," said NSWCDD Opera-tions Department Head Pete Ko-lakowski who led Dahlgren's effortsto transfer the gun to Arizona.

"NSWC Dahlgren Division wasinstrumental (during World War II)in ensuring the weapons and toolsto defend our freedom were the bestavailable - this is still true today."

Naval Facilities EngineeringCommand (NAVFAC) Washingtontransportation director RonaldCheek - on site to ensure a success-ful lift and transportation of the147,000 pound gun with its barrel,breech mechanism, and yoke - saidthat part of his support for the Navyinvolves "preserving history,"adding that "it's necessary so futuregenerations know what our fathersand grandfathers did to serve thiscountry and keep us free."

Gun barrel begins trek to Arizona Capitol Museum

Retired Navy Cmdr. Ernie Saunders (r.), commanding officer of USS Missouri turret gun No.2 during World War II, joined Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett (l.) and NSWCDD com-mander Capt. Michael Smith for the start of the cross-country trip for the historic 14-inchbattleship gun barrel.

By Mike WeldingNSWC Indian Head DivisionPublic Affairs

The Department of Defense's(DoD) Joint Insensitive MunitionsTechnology Program (JIMTP)named two Naval Surface WarfareCenter, Indian Head Division(NSWC IHD) employees as recipi-ents of its 2011 JIMTP Team of theYear award at a conference held atthe College of Southern Marylandin La Plata on March 27-29.

The two NSWC IHD scientists,Mike Bonnano and ChristineKnott, are part of joint Army/Navyteam developing primer technolo-gies for large caliber gun propul-sion systems. The other teammembers are from the Army Re-search Laboratory (ARL) and Ar-mament Research, Developmentand Engineering Center (ARDEC).

Primers are energetic materialsin gun propulsion systems that ig-nite propellants, which, in turn,propel gun system projectiles. His-torically, primers, other propellingcharges and ammunition are vul-nerable to unintended detonationfrom kinetic energy impacts orcook-off from heat.

DoD has funded efforts to de-velop energetic materials that areless sensitive to these threats,thereby making them safer to store

and handle. Additionally, the ma-terials must also maintain existinggun system performance capabili-ties.

"A critical objective of insensi-tive munitions technology devel-opment is that there must be nodegradation in gun system per-formance," said Bonnano. "Theseweapons systems must remain aseffective as they were when using

conventional ammunition."NSWC IHD's Dr. Chris Michien-

zi is the chairperson of the Muni-tion Area Technology (MATG)Group V, Gun Propulsion for theJIMTP, which sponsored this work.She said the team's work has beenan integral part of the program'saccomplishments.

"The technology of less sensi-tive gun primers is a key piece nec-

essary in the development of an in-sensitive propelling charge forlarge caliber guns," Michienzi said."The work performed by Mike andthe team has lead to some keytechnical findings. Mike's leader-ship has allowed led the team tosuccessfully accomplish the vari-ous diverse tasks."

Bonnano also said the work histeam is doing has benefits for allthe U.S. military services.

"The technology can also be ap-plied to Air Force gun systems," hesaid. "And the Marine Corps willbenefit because they use many ofthe same large caliber gun systemsthe Army has."

The Army team members areDr. Eugene Rozumov from ARDECand Drs. Richard Beyer, Lang-Mann Chang, Steven Howard,Michael Nusca and John Schmidt,all from ARL.

Every season has its own share of de-structive weather possibilities, and govern-ment must constantly be aware of thesepossible threats, the responsibility to be al-ways prepared, and the ability of a region'sresources to properly deal with that threat.Preparation for any possible contingency isvital to help ensure that a locality or regioncan endure and recover from adverseweather conditions.

As the weather changes, the potential fordisruption or disaster due to destructiveweather still remains ever present. Winterprovides its own challenges with the poten-tial for snow and ice damage and loss of pro-ductivity. But recent years have provided fartoo many examples of the destructive powerof the hurricane season, which runs roughlyfrom June to November.

The Navy has its own way of preparingfor the possibility of the massive power oftropical cyclones: a yearly exercise calledHURREX/Citadel Gale.

The HURREX/Citadel Gale exercise isconducted annually by Commander U.S.Fleet Forces Command (USFF) and Com-mander Navy Installations Command(CNIC) to provide afloat and shore-basedcommands an opportunity to exercise hur-ricane preparedness and installation

restoration plans prior to the onset of thehurricane season.

The purpose of this annual exercise is toprepare U.S. naval forces to respond toweather threats to U.S. coastal regions, andto maintain the ability to deploy forces evenunder the most adverse weather conditions.

Navy District Washingtonparticipating in HURREX

Naval Support Facility (NSF) Dahlgren

and NSF Indian Head - along with all Navyinstallations in Naval District Washington(NDW) - will participate in HURREX/CitadelGale 2012, which will be conducted duringApril 16-27.

The event will include functional andtabletop exercise events designed to train,evaluate and validate Naval Support ActivitySouth Potomac's (NSASP) standard operat-ing procedures and actions during a hurri-cane. The exercise scenarios will evaluatethe ability of NSASP to evacuate, respond

and recover from a hurricane.HURREX/Citadel Gale 12 will involve

two simulated storm systems developingand intensifying to hurricane strength,threatening the Caribbean Islands, EastCoast and Gulf Coast regions. All Navy com-mands with personnel in these regions,ashore and afloat, in port and underway, willparticipate, to include reviewing and exer-cising heavy weather instructions and pro-cedures and accounting for Sailors and Navyfamilies in the affected regions through theNavy Family Accountability and AssessmentSystem (NFAAS).

The Navy will focus on training underfive "conditions of readiness" that start fourdays before a storm hits and progresses allthe way up to 12 hours prior.

Although the exercise does not involveany real movement of ships or aircraft, theexercise is designed to be as real as possible.Commander Task Force 20 will simulate asortie, and Sailors ashore and afloat, in portor underway will review their heavy weatherinstructions and procedures.

"From past experience, we know thedamage that [natural disasters] can cause,"said Timothy Stoessel with NDW's trainingand readiness directorate. "All you have todo is look at the flood of the Naval Academy[during Hurricane Isabel in 2003] to realizethe kind of damage 'All-Hazards' can in-flict."

clones have claimed the lives of approximately 1.9 millionpeople. The United States has had its own costly remindersof the strength of hurricanes, notably in 2005 with the stormsurge of Hurricane Katrina, which killed nearly 2,000 andcaused $108 billion worth of damage, the costliest in Amer-ican history.

Ensuring Sailors and families are safeNDW, and the Navy as a whole, considers the safety of its

Sailors and their families to be the highest possible priority,especially during violent weather. Therefore, there is a largeemphasis in all Navy commands on security and accounta-bility before, during and after destructive weather.

The Navy Family Accountability and Assessment System(NFAAS) is a key part of this accountability. The Navy usesthe NFAAS to account for Sailors and Navy families, as wellas to identify disaster-related needs of Navy families. Sailorsand their families should ensure their information is up to

date in NFAAS. (NFAASWebsite https://navyfamily.navy.mil)"Prudent steps taken by all hands to be prepared for de-

structive weather phenomena that our region experiencesgreatly minimizes mission degradation and the possibilityof loss of life and damage to government and personal prop-erty," said Thompson Gerke, with NDW's operations direc-torate.

According to Stoessel, even though the training and testingprocedure is an annual fixture, there is always more to gainfrom the repetition of exercises like HURREX/Citadel Gale.

"There are always lessons learned every year, especiallyon how to communicate better with commands and the lo-cal community," said Stoessel.

With proper preparation and training, the dangers of de-structive weather can be mitigated, and this year is no differ-

ent. It is everyone's responsibility to ensure the safety ofequipment, and more importantly, Sailors and their families.

The Naval Safety Center has information on preparingfor destructive weather which can be found atwww.public.navy.mil/navsafecen/Documents/media/safetips/f-m/hurricane.doc.

More information on Navy Family Emergency Prepared-ness can also be found at www.cnic.navy.mil/CNIC_HQ_Site/WhatWeDo/FamilyLine/FamilyPrepared-ness/index.htm.
