FMM Launches LCS 11 - Sioux City
On Saturday, January 30, 2016 Lockheed Martin and Fincantieri Marinette
Marine (FMM) christened and launched
the future USS Sioux City (LCS 11),
the latest single-hull littoral combat
ship. The ceremony took place in
Marinette at the FMM shipyard.
ADM Michelle Howard, Vice Chief
of Naval Operations, was the principal
speaker. Mary Winnefeld, wife of retired
ADM James “Sandy” Winnefeld, Vice
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
will serve as the ship’s sponsor. The high-
light of the ceremony was when Mrs.
Winnefeld smashed a champagne bottle
across the ship’s bow to execute the side
launch into the Menominee River.
“It is an honor and a privilege to serve as
the sponsor of the future USS Sioux City
and to be a part of this major milestone
along the way to her assuming her place
as part of the great U.S. Navy fleet,” said
Mrs. Winnefeld. “I also look forward to
an ongoing relationship with her courageous crews and their families throughout the ship’s lifetime.”
“The Christening and launch of Sioux
City is a proud event for FMM,” said Jan
Allman, President and CEO of FMM.
“It showcases the craftsmanship and engineering capabilities of our workforce.
We are confident that this ship will play a
vital role in the fleet, and carry the spirit
of our industry team as she sails the globe.”
The future USS Sioux City is the first
naval vessel to be named in honor of
Sioux City, Iowa, the fourth-largest city
in the state. Sioux City was founded in
1854 at the navigational head of the
Missouri River and takes its name from
a group of North American Indian tribes
that make up the Great Sioux Nation.

In the reorganization, manpower planning moved from Manufacturing to
PP&C. This provides a more centralized
approach in the deployment of resources.
It also ensures that we can employ the
resources where they are most needed
and allows the hull managers more time
to focus on their core work.
President’s
Message
Hello everyone. It’s hard to believe that
spring is here already. It has been a very
busy first quarter and many have asked
when we will be having our next quarterly communication. I plan to schedule
one for the second quarter of 2016.
In the interim, we are cascading our
scorecard objectives and status on our
TV screens, team boards and yard wide
communications.
To further stabilize and improve our
metrics, the focus of the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) during the first quarter
has been on reorganization. Two key
areas of reorganization we have completed are in PP&C and Manufacturing.
This year will be very challenging for
us as we have seven (7) hulls under
production with three (3) scheduled to
deliver in 2016.
We now have three (3) key functional
areas in the shipyard at the director level.
Dave Tomlin — SOC 1-4
Andrea Tanferna — Building 10
Diego Balzano and Joe English —
Co-Directors of the Waterfront
This restructuring provides dedicated
leadership in each of these areas and
helps us to fully utilize our talent and
focus on execution.
2
The second part of the PP&C
reorganization moved sub-contracting
management and vendor support from
Purchasing to PP&C. This enables us to
better control/manage our cost and
schedule.
Our latest area of improvement is a
newly established “Tiger Team,” whose
goal is to develop a standard Bill of Material (BOM) and stabilize “should cost”
and “ship configuration” data for the LCS
ships. This team will:
a. Update the LCS design data
with all modifications currently
in the backlog
b. Update cost information for
each ship
c. Review and revise procedures
to update the ship configuration
database going forward
d. Review IT systems required to
maintain ship configuration,
with special focus on interconnection and alignment of
the engineering, supply chain
and manufacturing databases
We have developed key milestones for
this project, and I will update you on its
progress and impact as we move through
this year. Finally, I want to provide you
with an update on the program itself. As
you are aware, there is a recommendation
from the Secretary of Defense to reduce
the number of LCS ships from 52 to 40
and to down select to one variant. This
reduction is not supported by the Secretary of the Navy, but it has polarizes the
political landscape.
Earlier this month, I spent two days on
Capitol Hill with Lockheed Martin; and
our supply base spent an additional day
on the Hill meeting with over 40 Congressmen and Senators. The purpose of
these meetings was to present an
overview of the LCS Freedom Class Program that showcased the ship’s capabilities, and the affordability of the program
with a 52 block buy.
We requested a “call to action” from
every person with whom we met. We
urged them to support USN LCS shipbuilding and the 52 ship requirement —
including supporting the three (3) ship
buy in FY 17 and FY 18. These meetings
make a difference and we hope they have
a positive influence on the future of our
program. We have many advocates for
the program, however this process takes
time and its impact may not be realized
quickly.
As a Company, we must remain focused in
our key areas of daily execution:
1. Maintaining and driving our safety,
care and protection in every building
and on every hull.
2. Striving for quality, building our
modules and hulls right the first
time, eliminating errors.
We need to continue to look for ways to
improve our efficiencies and/
or lower our cost so we can
deliver our ships on plan.
Sincerely, Jan

Sioux City (LCS 11) Continued
Continued from P1
The ceremony represents a significant
contribution to Sioux City’s long, rich
history of ties to America’s men and
women in uniform. “I chose the name for
this littoral combat ship from America’s
heartland to honor the patriotic, hardworking citizens of Sioux City, and for
their support of and contributions to
the military,” Secretary of the Navy Ray
Mabus stated four years ago when he
announced the naming of USS Sioux City.
“The christening and launch marks an
important step toward this great warship’s entry into the fleet,” Mabus continued. “The hard work and dedication
of our nation’s shipbuilders have ensured
this ship will serve as a representation
of both Sioux City and our Navy and
Marine Corps’ ability to deliver presence
for decades to come.”
Sioux City Mayor Bob Scott was among
a group of city leaders in Marinette for
the events surrounding the christening
and launch of Sioux City. “From now,
for at least 50 years, there will be a ship
out on the ocean that’ll have our name
on it and I think that’s kind of cool,”
Scott said.
The construction of the future USS
Sioux City began in 2013. Following the
January christening and launch, Sioux
City will continue to undergo outfitting
and testing before delivery and commissioning by the Navy in 2017.
The 53 core crew members
will be based in Mayport,
FL, and will operate
across the
Asian-Pacific.

Re-Enlistment Ceremony Held on LCS 9
On December 5, 2015, eighteen U.S. Navy
Reservists from the NOSC Green Bay, WI
division attended a re-enlistment ceremony
held on the deck of the future USS Little
Rock (LCS 9). Among the eighteen
reservists was Tyler Cahill – a native of
Marinette and a Fincantieri Marinette
Marine welder of nearly 4 years. Tyler has
previously been deployed to Iraq and
Afghanistan with the U.S. Navy SEABEE’s.
Many of the reservists have

FMM Celebrity
?
GUESS WHO
R/V Reuben Lasker researching near San Diego
Paper Nautilus
Who are these FMM manufacturing
management superstars?
Celebrity #1: This person has a
passion for Eagles and his favorite
colors are orange and blue. He also
stated that when he is reborn...it will
be as a tour guide.
January 2016 – The Lasker was conducting research in the Pacific Ocean, ~350
nm offshore in the San Diego area. During
a slow speed tow along the surface of the
water they deployed the MANTA (Neuston)
net and captured a Paper Nautilus.
Paper Nautilus (Argonauts), are a group
of pelagic octopuses. They are called
paper nautiluses, referring to the paperthin eggcase that females secrete.
The Argonauts are found in tropical and
subtropical waters worldwide; they live in
the open ocean. Of its names, “argonaut”
means sailor on the Argo; “nautilus”
meaning sailor, because it
was formerly supposed that
Argonauta used their
shell-secreting
arms as sails
when they were
at the surface.

DoD Announces OPM Database Breach
Celebrity #2: You may have seen
this shipbuilding veteran working in
contracts, purchasing, plan vault
or manufacturing throughout her
nearly 14 years at FMM.
December 2015 – Personal information was stolen from a breach of the Office of Personnel Management’s (OPM), Department of Defense (DoD) databases. The information
included 21.5 million background investigation applicants and non-applicants, primarily
spouses or co-habitants of applicants. This information included personally identifiable
information (PII), like names and Social Security numbers, as well as findings from
interviews conducted by background investigators.
Minimizing the impact of this theft on DoD personnel is a top priority, thus the Government
contracted with ID Experts to offer a suite of identity theft and credit monitoring services to those who were affected. A letter was sent to the individuals believed to be affected.
If you think that it is likely that you were affected and are eligible for these credit
monitoring and identity theft protection services, but did not receive a letter, or if you
received a letter and lost your PIN; OPM recently launched an online verification center
website and a call center.

The online verification center will be accessible from the OPM Cybersecurity Resource
Center (www.opm.gov/cybersecurity) 24-hours per day, seven days a week, through the
end of December, 2018. If you are unable to access the website, or if you have questions
that cannot be answered online, please contact the call center at 866-408-4555 to speak
directly with an agent. This call center will be available from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. EST,
Monday through Friday.
Alan Bird (FMM) Nominated for Award
In December of 2015 the International
Society of Allied Weight Engineers
(SAWE) announced the nomination of
Alan Bird, Fincantieri Marinette
Marine’s Sr. Weight Engineer, to become
a Fellow in the SAWE Fellowship. Alan
expressed, “I was shocked to find I had
been nominated.”
This prestigious award is defined as:
Fellow - a person or persons who have
achieved distinction in mass properties
engineering, or who have materially
contributed to the advancement of the
Society, and who have been elected to
the Fellowship by a three-fourths vote
of the Board of Directors.
Alan is co-chairman for the Marine
Group of the
Standards and
Practices Committee. This committee
makes the policies
and guidelines for
marine weight
engineering.
He recently teamed up with several
software developers to create new and
innovative processes to validate the
data in the weight reports, and to make
the data in the reports easier to obtain
and highly accurate.
The U.S. Navy (NAVSEA) sees Marinette
Marine as a leader in weight engineering
and we have Alan to thank for it.
Safety Culture Ownership Program & Education (SCOPE)
February 2016 – Fincantieri Marinette Marine would like to
recognize the managers who met their goals for safety observations in 2015. The SCOPE program was implemented
in 2013 and has played a major role in reducing injuries in
the Facility. The goal of the SCOPE program is to recognize safety as an important part of day-to-day activities.
An important pillar of the SCOPE program is to “see
safety” in aspects of every job. Recognizing fall hazards,
deck openings,
proper tooling, body
position and many
others are all important parts of “seeing
safety.” FMM incident rates were over
9.0 in 2012. Since the
inception of the
SCOPE program
incident rates have
decreased by
almost two thirds.
With continued
support of the SCOPE program and buy-in
from all FMM employees, we will continue to push for zero
incidents. With everyone’s support we will reach this goal
in 2016. Thanks to all for keeping safety in mind in 2015 and
for years to come.
For their 2015 achievements, our safety department would
like to recognize the following: Jeff Anderson, William
Bezio, Dan Bourdeau, Adam Bourdelais, David Brandon,
John Coyne, Chris DeMeuse, Terry Denny, Curt Dolata,

FBS’s Winterfleet in Full Production!
The December arrival of the John G. Munson
and the American Courage marked the official
beginning of Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding’s
WINTERFLEET 2016!
The Mesabi Miner arrived in Sturgeon Bay prior
to the New Year and went straight to drydock.
The American Spirit was the next to drydock in
mid-January, the Wilfred J. Sykes in February,
and Munson will round out the winter dockings
in the large graving dock later this month. Julie
Koch, FBS Contract Manager stated, “We’ve had
our share of machinery rebuilds and shell/internal repairs that come from the dock inspections.”
The Scrubber boats; the Lee A. Tregurtha
and James R. Barker will depart during the
month of May. Tug Michigan and barges
Great Lakes and Alpena are scheduled to
depart by the end of May. “This year our
Winterfleet has been extended,” continues
Julie Koch.“Lots of work, but nothing Bay
Shipbuilding crews can’t handle!”
After completion of repairs, departures began in
mid March with Arthur M. Anderson, Cason J.
Callaway, Mesabi Miner and Wilfred J. Sykes.
”We are extremely pleased to deliver these
vessels on time and within contracted
costs,” said Francesco Valente, Fincantieri
Marine Group (FMG) President and CEO.
”The quality delivered on this workhorse
ATB is a testament to the hard work and
craftsmanship of the seasoned professionals of Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding.”
FBS Delivers
Second Moran ATB Unit
December 2015 – Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding
(FBS) delivered the Articulated Tug Barge (ATB)
Unit comprised of the tug Leigh Ann Moran
and tank barge Mississippi, to Moran Towing
Corporation. Although another ATB barge was
previously delivered in May 2015, this is the first
complete ATB unit delivered to Moran under a
2014 contract.
The Leigh Ann Moran is a 6000-HP tug and the
Mississippi is a 150,000-barrel barge. Its full load
displacement, including lightship weight and
cargo weight, is 24,259-Long Tons. The ATB unit
will work along the East coast of the United
States and in the Gulf of Mexico.

Only authorized photography is permitted at FMM.
When pictures are taken and intended for
dissemination externally, the FMM Export Compliance Manager must
be consulted before the pictures are sent. FMM is
guided by very
specific export rules and
photography at FMM is
strictly controlled. Remember that the entire Littoral
Combat Ship is a defense
article. Therefore, all exports
must be reviewed to ensure that
they are in compliance with the
International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).
Photography should only be done by using FMM issued
or approved cameras. Engineering and area managers have
cameras issued to them by FMM. These cameras have been
checked-in by security. Each FMM and contractor camera
have an accompanying media card to confirm that it has
been authorized by Security, and the person responsible
for the camera is aware of the FMM photography rules.
Unfortunately, there is always the temptation for someone
to share unauthorized pictures on social media. This activity is likely to result in severe consequences for whomever
took the unauthorized pictures.
The ONLY TIME
photography in the
shipyard is authorized
for general distribution is when the shipyard is open to visitors
for a ship launch. On
these occasions great
preparations are made
to ensure the yard is
ready for general photography by visitors.

For instance, Apple released an
update for its iOS 6 and iOS 7
operating systems to provide a
fix for the SSL connection verification issue. Without installing
the update, iPhone and iPad
devices are vulnerable to manin-the-middle attacks, which
mean attackers can spy on user

untrusted Wi-Fi network that are
supposed to be using encrypted
communications.

Smiles
Miles for
March 2016 – The team of employees
from Fincantieri Marinette Marine,
and Lockheed Martin Corp. (Marinette)
managed to pull off a successful third
annual Miles for Smiles campaign
collecting 341 Smile Miles in paper
products and hygiene items. The
combined collection was enough to
wrap around an LCS 2,231 times.
The willingness of our employees to
support the “Help for the Homeless”
drive and help those in need in the community weather life’s daily crises is remarkable. The donations provide basic
necessities to the recipients and help them
achieve larger life goals like housing,
employment, education and parenting.
Combined, the team’s Smile Miles collected items such as health and first aid,
personal care, baby care, toilet tissue,
paper towels, toothpaste, shampoo,
soaps, and cleaning items – as well as
significant cash donations to support
this worthwhile effort.

...did you find the hidden ”Easter Egg” in the Holiday Beacon?
The idea of the hidden Easter Egg involves hiding media
content within another product. In the case of the Holiday
Beacon, a Christmas tree was hidden in a photo on page 15.
Congratulations Bonnie Philipps for locating the tree. She wins a
FMG hat and mini-portfolio. For this issue, we will be awarding the
same. One union and one non-bargaining unit employee are eligible.
Contact Tina at ext. 6894 if you find the Easter Egg in this issue.
