2019-2020 Activities NAVAL SUBMARINE LEAGUE Pacific Southwest Chapter 2019-2020 Activities The Pacific Southwest Chapter continued to be on a “roll” throughout the year, until the COVID Virus changed things, as it did for most of the world. The April 2020 scheduled events got wiped off the slate and the COMSUBPAC Sailor of the Year activities and the Submarine Birthday Ball got re-imagined or can- celled, as did our April Luncheon and Forum. However, before the recent dramatic changes, our luncheons continued to be the high points in our outreach and activities plan. We had an outstanding group of speak- ers throughout the year that brought with them interesting and professionally related topics for our at- tendees. Our average attendance was at about 65, but we were pleased to see active duty attendees when they could break from their busy schedules. It was gratifying to see Midshipmen at several of our meetings from the NROTC Unit here which combines the students from five of the local colleges and universities. Our speakers included: Commodore Chris Cavanaugh, COMSUBRON ELEVEN, Retired CDR Ray Fer- brache “China’s Submarine Force”, CAPT Brien Dickson, CO of Naval Base Point Loma, CAPT Tim Slentz, CO of Naval Base Coronado, CAPT Mike Dowling, CO of the Tactical Training Group Pacific, Retired CAPT Zoltan Kelety, Marine Superintendent, Scripps Institution of Oceanography “Flooding Casualty on USS DOLPHIN”, CAPT Eric Cooper, USCG, CO Maritime Security Response Team West, RADM Tom Ishee, Director, Undersea Warfare Division, (N97) and Retired CAPT Charlie MacVean “Admiral Rickover-Up Close and Personal”. The Chapter has begun the practice of recognizing a sailor at each luncheon with the presentation of passes to either the MIDWAY Museum or the San Diego Maritime Museum. The sailor to be recognized at each luncheon is selected by the COMSUBRON ELEVEN Command Master Chief. Tours are always high on the list of “Items of Interest”. The tours are always predicated on asset availabil- ity. The Chilean submarine CS O’Higgins was enroute to San Diego when she was turned around to return to home port to comply with the COVID guidance from Chile. We were able to tour the USS ESSEX (LHD- 2) in the Fall of 2019. Time with the Helicopter Maritime Strike Wing was highlighted with “flight time” in the MH-60 Simulators. Tours of the Submarine Learning Center, the USS ALEXANDRIA and the Marine Mam- mal Facility rounded out our touring. We participated in the welcoming of USS ANNAPOLIS as she arrived in San Diego and we were also in the send off activities for USS PASADENA. In January 2020 we asked to participate in the grand sail away ceremony for the Peruvian submarine BAP ANGAMOS. Gifts were ex- changed and we watched them get underway for their 30 day transit home after their very productive and professional exercises with all manner of US Navy assets in the SOCAL areas. Although the COMSUBPAC Sailor of the Year activities were scheduled for San Diego, they got realigned into a virtual event which allowed the finalists to remain in their respective homeports. Still, we honored the terrific achievements of the winners as we provided VISA Cards to the COMSUBPAC Ashore and Afloat winners and the COMSUBRON ELEVEN Senior and Junior Winners Ashore and Afloat. The Chapter also honored the 2019 SUBRON ELEVEN Battle Efficiency Winner—USS HAMPTON. In this case we have giv- en money to the submarine’s FRG (Family Readiness Group) for them to use as needed. We likewise assisted in the arrival festivities for USS ANNAPOLIS. The Chapter continues to increase interactivity with the NROTC Unit which is physically located at the University of San Diego. Currently the Sophomore Class instructor is a submarine qualified Lieutenant who served on an SSN in San Diego and so he has been very keen on ele- vating NSL awareness among his students. And as always, we stand ready to support the Freddie Warder Award as requested. The Chapter was led during this period by: President—CAPT Sam Ward, USN, (Ret.) Vice President—Mr. Bruce Renne Second Vice President—CMDCM JR O’Donnell and Jeffrey Hiscocks, USN, CSS11 Treasurer—CAPT Keith Fargo, SC, USN, (Ret.) Secretary—CAPT Charlie MacVean, USN, (Ret.)

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 16 BUSTER from land, while the submarine “pull[s] in the full motion video and the infrared, correlate[s] it and fuse[s] it in our battle management centers on board.” Looking ahead, the Navy wants to give its new Virginia-class attack submarines the same ability to carry robots, by outfitting them with a “payload module” similar to the SSGNs’ former missile tubes. Russia To Lay Down One Multipurpose Submarine A Year From 2011 Novosti, July 27, 2009 SEVASTOPOL, July 26 (RIA Novosti) - The Russian Navy command has made a decision on building one nuclear-powered multipurpose attack submarine a year from 2011, the Navy chief said on Sunday. Adm. Vladimir Vysotsky said that construction of a second Project 885 Yasen (Graney) class nuclear-powered multipurpose attack submarine started at the Sevmash shipyard in northern Russia on July 24. Vysotsky said the state currently had all possibilities, including economic and financial, to implement this project as soon as possible. The Kazan submarine will feature more advanced equipment than the first vessel in the series - the Severodvinsk, which was laid down in 1992 and is scheduled to join the Russian navy in 2010 or early 2011 after a long delay for financial reasons.
