  • Iwo Jima's Jack Lucas
    Iwo Jima’s Jack Lucas Lucas, the son of a North Carolina tobacco farmer, had first enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves on Aug. 8, 1942, just over eight months after the United States entered World War II following the infamous Japanese attack on the U.S. Navy base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. He was 14 at the time and was only able to sign up with the Marines after forging his mother's signature on a parental consent form, which said he was 17, and bribing a notary to sign it. "My father died when I was 11 years old and I became kind of a tough kid after that to handle," Lucas said in a recorded interview decades later, which you can watch in its entirety at https://youtu.be/_aGhPjeayJY . "My mother couldn't handle me [and] sent me off to military school." "I was kinda devastated when we got the news that all those people suffered there at Pearl Harbor," he continued. "That very day, a cold chill ran down my spine and I just became obsessed that I had to do something." With the Marines, unaware of his true age, the teenager, who had just recently completed eighth grade, quickly went to boot camp at the famous Marine training base at Parris Island in South Carolina. After being assigned to a succession of training units, where he was ultimately qualified to be a heavy machine gun crewman, Lucas was eventually sent to join the 6th Base Depot, part of the V Amphibious Corps, at Pearl Harbor in 1943.

Relate discussed PQM topic areas to each case and identify opportunities to apply them. • What failures of the system’s quality management system are evident? • Was the failure (A) Design related, (B) Workmanship related, (C) Material related, or (D) a combination? • What processes / components were Key to the item? Critical to the item? • What corrective actions (if any) were incorporated as a result of the situation? • How might the following PQM topic areas apply: • Integrated Manufacturing Planning • Continuous Process Improvement • Lean Manufacturing Teams consider their assigned case with these questions in mind. You are encouraged to consider other references and/or information when exploring these cases. Your team will be provided a discussion period after the lecture portion of the Quality Management lesson to share your impressions about your assigned case amongst yourselves.

On the morning of April 10, the THRESHER proceeded to conduct sea trials about 200 miles off the coast of Cape Cod, MA. At 9:13am, the USS SKYLARK received a signal indicating that the submarine was experiencing “minor difficulties.” Shortly afterward, the SKYLARK received a series of garbled, undecipherable message fragments from the THRESHER.

  • Navy Littoral Combat Ship/Frigate (LCS/FF) Program: Background and Issues for Congress
    Navy Littoral Combat Ship/Frigate (LCS/FF) Program: Background and Issues for Congress (name redacted) Specialist in Naval Affairs May 19, 2017 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov RL33741 Navy Littoral Combat Ship/Frigate (LCS/FF) Program Summary The Navy’s Littoral Combat Ship/Frigate (LCS/FF) program is a program to procure a total of 40, and possibly as many as 52, small surface combatants (SSCs), meaning LCSs and frigates. The LCS/FF program has been controversial over the years due to past cost growth, design and construction issues with the first LCSs, concerns over the survivability of LCSs (i.e., their ability to withstand battle damage), concerns over whether LCSs are sufficiently armed and would be able to perform their stated missions effectively, and concerns over the development and testing of the modular mission packages for LCSs. The Navy’s execution of the program has been a matter of congressional oversight attention for several years. Two very different LCS designs are currently being built. One was developed by an industry team led by Lockheed; the other was developed by an industry team that was led by General Dynamics. The design developed by the Lockheed-led team is built at the Marinette Marine shipyard at Marinette, WI, with Lockheed as the prime contractor; the design developed by the team that was led by General Dynamics is built at the Austal USA shipyard at Mobile, AL, with Austal USA as the prime contractor. The Navy’s proposed FY2017 budget requested $1,125.6 million for the procurement of the 27th and 28th LCSs, or an average of $562.8 million for each ship.

  • SEA SERVICES SCUTTLEBUTT February 2016
    MILITARY SEA SERVICES MUSEUM, INC. SEA SERVICES SCUTTLEBUTT February 2016 A message from the President Greetings, I hope everyone had a wonderful time over the holidays. The Museum had an exceptional financial year in 2015. Income was about $24,000 thanks to a large donation from the USS WORCESTER Association and several large donations from Museum members and friends. In 2014 our income was about $10,000. In years prior to that our income and expenses were closely matched in the $5000 - $8300 range. By keeping our 2015 expenditures to only John Cecil mandatory payments such as insurance, alarm system, and utility bills we were able to add to our savings and accumulated sufficient funds to contract for the Museum’s front entrance renovation project. The renovations were nearly complete in January and we were already seeing an increase in visitors. Only the hand rails on the ramp and steps remained. Then we received very bad news!!! The Sebring building inspector informed us that the ramp did not meet Americans with Disabilities Act requirements. The contractor started demolishing part of the ramp and we expect the ramp will be rebuilt and pass all inspections by mid-March. Inside, replacing the paneled wall with a new dry wall on the quarterdeck; new window treatments in the library; new windows in bathrooms and gift shop; new fans in library, gift shop, and office; and updated wiring are completed and paid for. Other improvements such as installing shelving, new smoke detectors, and improving displays are on-going. I hope everyone has a healthy and prosperous 2016.
