The Jersey Bounce Fall 2009 USS New Jersey Veterans, Inc. “THE JERSEY BOUNCE” Fall 2009 Issue Email - WWW.USSNEWJERSEY.ORG LPD 21 USS NEW YORK The 22nd reunion was held at the Crowne Plaza Riverfront Hotel in Jacksonville, Florida, October 7th through October 11th, 2009. The organization enjoyed a very successful reunion. The Memorial Service, St. Augustine and Jacksonville tours, Dinner Cruise, Welcome Aboard Dinner, and a Dinner Dance Banquet were well at- tended. We want to thank the reunion committee for a job well done. The reunion committee worked hard in providing this annual opportunity for our shipmates to become reacquainted with old friends and shipmates. These reunions are a great opportunity to make new friends, or just reminisce sea stories of bygone days. The days of the battleship, the most feared dreadnaught on the high seas, are long gone, but the battleship sailors live on and on. Newer and more deadly ships are joining the fleet providing firepower that we can- not imagine only conjecture.

  • Syndeck™ Ultra Lightweight Underlayment Used on the USS New York (LPD-21)
    For Release: Contact: NEWS Jill See Immediate Marketing Specialist T: 562-236-1175 F: 562-944-9958 SynDeck™ Ultra Lightweight Underlayment Used on the USS New York (LPD-21) PLACENTIA, CA (June 2009) – The military ship building/repair industry is highly focused on the efficiencies that come from ultra lightweight materials. However, most deck underlayments do not meet the lightweight requirements of the marine industry. California-based Epmar Corporation, with more than 20 years of experience providing the marine industry with primary deck coatings and underlayments, designed the SynDeck™ product line to meet the specific needs of surface materials, application and underlayment performance requirements for military and commercial marine vessels. SynDeck™ Ultra Lightweight Underlayment gives the highest possible performance with the lightest possible weight, and provides excellent corrosion resistance (MilSpec 3135). Northrop-Grumman Ship Systems, Avondale Operations, located in the greater New Orleans area, is currently building new LPD-class amphibious transport ships using Epmar’s SynDeck™ Ultra Lightweight Underlayment in all inhabited interior deck spaces. This new class of ship includes the LPD-21 USS New York, which was named to honor those that died in the September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center. In fact, the bow stem of this particular ship was forged from reclaimed steel from World Trade Center buildings. When completed, the USS New York is slated to return to New York City to be commissioned into the US Navy, and will be operating out of the Norfolk Naval Shipyard. Gary Hayes, sales manager for the SynDeck™ line said, “Epmar Corporation is extremely proud to have SynDeck™ Ultra Lightweight Underlayment, SS1290, used for the deck underlayment on this class of ship, and on the USS New York in particular.” SynDeck™ is a complete line of deck underlayment products and systems used in the construction, overhaul and repair of decking and other surfaces in the marine environment.

    CONTACT: David W. Pijor Chairman and Chief Executive Officer 703-436-3802 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – February 21, 2013 First Virginia Community Bank Donates Funds for USS Arlington FAIRFAX, Va. – First Virginia Community Bank (FVCbank) has donated $10,000 in support of the USS Arlington, a ship named for the Pentagon’s home city to commemorate the September 11, 2001 attacks. The contribution will go towards the USS Arlington’s commissioning, the ceremony marking a ship’s placement in active service, which is planned for early April at Naval Station Norfolk. The donation will also help fund construction of a Tribute Room on the ship to honor the heroes of 9/11. Steel taken from the Pentagon after the attacks will be displayed aboard as a commemorative symbol. “Our involvement with the USS Arlington is a manifestation of our core belief in supporting the communities in which we do business,” said David W. Pijor, chairman and chief executive officer of the Fairfax-based bank, which opened an Arlington office in October. “The occasion allows us to recognize the deep and meaningful bonds between the military and the civilian population of the Arlington area, which are so important to us all.” FVCbank was recognized for its support at a reception on January 31 at the Army Navy Country Club in Arlington. The commissioning committee and the Navy League of Hampton Roads, a nonprofit organization that is raising funds for the ship’s enhancements, presented a plaque to Pijor, bank president Burwell Gunn, and Sid Simmons, who sits on FVCbank’s board of directors.

    Applying Queueing Theory and Architecturally-Oriented Early Stage Ship Design to the Concept of a Vessel Deploying a Fleet of Uninhabited Vehicles by Nikolaos Kouriampalis A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering) Department of Mechanical Engineering University College London 2019 1 "Ἐὰν ταῖς γλώσσαις τῶν ἀνθρώπων λαλῶ καὶ τῶν ἀγγέλων, ἀγάπην δὲ μὴ ἔχω, γέγονα χαλκὸς ἠχῶν ἢ κύμβαλον ἀλαλάζον" Προς Κορινθίους Α' 13 επιστολή Παύλου "If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal" 1 Corinthians 13:1 Paul’s Epistle 2 Declaration I, Nikolaos Kouriampalis, declare that except where explicit reference is made to other sources, this thesis is the result of my own work. I confirm that this thesis has not been submitted for any other degree at University College London or any other institution. Print Name: Signature: 3 Abstract Uninhabited vehicles technology is becoming important in naval warfare, providing an entirely new capability. By projecting power through the deployment of such vehicles, the exposure of humans to military threats is reduced. Although the Royal Navy is pursuing the employment of uninhabited vehicles for a variety of applications, the concept of a substantial fleet of such vehicles, operated from a mothership, able to host and support their operations during a mission scenario, is still a novel design challenge. In the initial design stages, when little of design effort has been committed, ship design details will be far from fully defined and are still amenable to change without significant implications on the programme budget, or schedule.

  • Navy Irregular Warfare and Counterterrorism Operations: Background and Issues for Congress
    Navy Irregular Warfare and Counterterrorism Operations: Background and Issues for Congress Updated December 17, 2019 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov RS22373 Navy Irregular Warfare and Counterterrorism Operations Summary In the years following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the Navy has carried out a variety of irregular warfare (IW) and counterterrorism (CT) activities. Among the most readily visible of these were operations carried out by Navy sailors serving ashore in the Middle East and Afghanistan, as well as the May 1-2, 2011, U.S. military operation in Abbottabad, Pakistan, that killed Osama bin Laden. During these years, the Navy took certain actions intended to improve its IW capabilities. For example, the Navy established the Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC) informally in October 2005 and formally in January 2006. NECC consolidated and facilitated the expansion of a number of Navy organizations that have a role in IW operations. The Navy also established the Navy Irregular Warfare Office in July 2008, published a vision statement for irregular warfare in January 2010, and established “a community of interest” (COI) to develop and advance ideas, collaboration, and advocacy related to IW in December 2010. The Navy during these years also reestablished its riverine force and initiated The Global Maritime Partnership, which was a U.S. Navy initiative to achieve an enhanced degree of cooperation between the U.S. Navy and foreign navies, coast guards, and maritime police forces, for the purpose of ensuring global maritime security against common threats. In addition, the Navy operated the Southern Partnership Station (SPS) and the Africa Partnership Station (APS), which were Navy ships, such as amphibious ships or high-speed sealift ships, that deployed to the Caribbean and to waters off Africa, respectively, to support U.S.

    Photo Release -- New York (LPD 21), With World Trade Center Steel Leading the Way, Reaches Significant Milestone With Successful Builder's Sea Trial July 2, 2009 AVONDALE, La., July 2, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Northrop Grumman Corporation-built (NYSE:NOC) New York (LPD 21) successfully accomplished builder's sea trials this week in the Gulf of Mexico. The ship's bow stem contains seven-and-a-half tons of steel recovered from the World Trade Center following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. LPD 21 is under construction at the company's Avondale facility in Louisiana. A photo accompanying this news release is available at: http://media.globenewswire.com/noc/ A video accompanying this news release is available at: http://www.sb.northropgrumman.com/media/video/assets/2009/lpd21_384k.wmv "This ship is a symbol of American patriotism at its finest, not only for the steel in the bow stem cutting through the water, but also for the committed shipbuilders who constructed her with a focus on quality," Tim Farrell, vice president and program manager, LPD program, Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding - Gulf Coast.
