INTRODUCTION a. Project Team At the request of NASA Ames Research Center, Page & Turnbull has developed the following reuse guidelines for Hangar 2 at Moffett Field, California. The document identifies and evaluates historically significant and contributing elements at Hangar 2, analyzes code compliance concerns and provides recommendations and guidelines for its rehabilitation and reuse. Page & Turnbull has prepared a similar document for Hangar 3, a nearly identical hangar located adjacent and parallel to Hangar 2. NASA project managers, facility managers and archive curators have assisted Page & Turnbull in the preparation of this report. The project team consists of: • Page & Turnbull, Inc. 724 Pine Street San Francisco, CA 94108 J. Gordon Turnbull, Principal-In-Charge Melisa Gaudreau, Project Manager Elisa Skaggs, Designer Mark McMillan, Architectural Conservator Elizabeth Milnarik, Designer/Architectural Historian Richard Sucré, Architectural Historian Michael Tornabene, Designer • Degenkolb Engineers 225 Bush Street San Francisco, CA 94104 John Dal Pino, Principal Andrew Mitchell, Design Engineer • Flack + Kurtz 405 Howard Street, Ste. 500 San Francisco, CA 94105 Todd M.

Purpose These reuse guidelines establish parameters for rehabilitation work and building reuse. They are intended to serve as a tool for entities engaged in evaluation and planning for Hangar 2, so that the historic character may be considered and preserved in conjunction with necessary changes to accommodate reuse. Included is a building description, an historical analysis, a conditions assessment, a discussion of historic significance, an evaluation of the significant features and elements, an analysis of the structural system by Degenkolb Engineers, an analysis of the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems by Flack + Kurtz, a review of code issues and reuse guidelines that analyze three scenarios, in light of the historically significant nature of the structure. Reuse guidelines exist for many buildings within the designated historic district at Moffett Field and with the completion of reuse guidelines for Hangars 2 and 3; all contributing resources to the Shenandoah Plaza Historic will have been addressed. c. Methodology The following reuse guidelines are informed by historical information and plans supplied by NASA, site visits conducted by Page

Barton, P. E. Submitted to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering On May 9, 2003 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Civil and Environmental Engineering Abstract The Naval Construction Force has traditionally depended on outside sources to obtain and analyze engineering data in contingency situations. The Navy has embarked on an initiative to develop Seabee Engineer Reconnaissance Teams to perform this function, both as a basis for projects slated for in-house construction and as a product to deliver to other organizations. Exercises and operations have thus far shown that the concept is viable, but Seabee Engineer Reconnaissance Teams have encountered problems with data gathering and reporting, and transmission of data and images.

  • Celebrating Navy Women: Perseverance & Achievements
    Celebrating Navy Women: Perseverance & Achievements omen have profoundly impacted our Navy for more than a century, since being Wallowed to join in 1917. To honor those pioneers who have led the way, along with the more than 60,000 women who serve today, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Gilday and Mrs. Linda Gilday, in coordination with Navy History and Heritage Command, created a display in CNO’s residence, Tingey House, as well as this e-book, which is organized into the following groupings: WWII era and prior; a selection of women ‘firsts’ in the Navy; and some photos of today’s Sailors. Where additional information is available, the photos are hyperlinked to articles, videos, and oral histories (click the photo to access the files). While we know this is a small representation of the women who serve today and the millions who have served, it is our hope it sparks conversation that honors women who wear the cloth of this nation. As a Navy, we celebrate the many accomplishments that women have achieved through hard work, grit and determination. Chief Yeoman (F) Loretta Perfectus Walsh After enlisting on March 17, 1917, Chief Walsh became not only the woman to serve in the Navy and its first female Chief Petty Officer, but also the first woman to serve in a non-nursing capacity in any branch of the armed forces. She served as a Yeoman (F) in the U.S. Naval Reserve during WWI. The first enlisted women in the Navy. Recruited to serve for the duration of WWI in order to free up male personnel for duty at sea, nearly 11,000 women were in uniform by Armistice Day (November 11, 1918).

  • Women Ashore: the Contribution of WAVES to US Naval Science and Technology in World War II
    Women Ashore: The Contribution of WAVES to US Naval Science and Technology in World War II Kathleen Broome Williams On 30 July 1947, US Navy (USN) women celebrated their fifth anniversary as WAVES: Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Se rv ice. In ceremonies across the count ry, flags snapped and crisp young women saluted. Congratulatory messages arrived from navy brass around the globe. The Commander-in-Chief (C-in-C) of the Atlantic Fleet, Admiral William H.P. Blandy, noted (perhaps too optimistically) that "the splendid serv ices rendered by the WAVES...and their uncomplaining spirit of sacrifice and devotion to duty at all times" would never be forgotten by "a grateful navy."' Admiral Louis E. Denfeld, C-in-C Pacific, wrote more perceptively that "the vital role" played by the WAVES "in the defeat of the Axis nations is known to all and, though often unsung in peacetime, their importance has not decreased." Significantly, Admiral Denfeld added that he would welcome the addition of the WAVES "to the Regular Naval Establishment," an issue then hanging in the balance.' Indeed, for all the anniversary praise, the WAVES' contribution to wartime successes did not even guarantee them a permanent place in the navy once peace returned nor, until recently, has their "vital role" in the Allied victory received much scholarly attention. This article helps to round out the historical record by briefly surveying one aspect of the role of the WAVES: their contribution to naval science and technology. The navy has always been a technical service but World War II was the first truly technological war.
