We were thrilled to sponsor the Mighty Moo Festival! It was an honor to be part of this wonderful event celebrating the heritage of the USS Cowpens and their vibrant community. One of the highlights was having the last crew of the USS Cowpens, the second US Navy ship to bear the name, join us on our float before the ship's decommissioning in August. Their presence made the occasion even more special!

Ensuring the highest standards of quality and safety is crucial, especially in specialized fields like submarine operations. Utilizing extensively qualified and specialized individuals, such as QMS - NDT,NACE & Industrial Ceramic Coatings submarine specialists, is paramount. Quality and safety are non-negotiable priorities, as highlighted by the tragic events like the USS Thresher incident. It's essential to recognize that opting for cheaper contractors, contracts with little to no defence experience or cutting costs can significantly compromise these standards, potentially leading to disastrous consequences. Real-life incidents like the USS Thresher serve as poignant reminders of the critical importance of supporting a robust quality supply chain populated with experts well-versed in submarine operations and highly technical defense vessels, bolstering the efficacy of QMS within the defense sector.

Sixty-one years ago today, submarine USS Thresher (SSN 593) was tragically lost at sea, taking the lives of 129 officers, crew and civilians. While Newport News Shipbuilding didn’t build Thresher, the anniversary serves as a reminder of what is at stake as we build US Navy submarines and aircraft carriers. We should all know the story of Thresher, share it with those around us, and keep it in our hearts and minds every day. This solemn anniversary – and the memory of the 129 who gave their lives in service of our country – shines a light on the importance of quality and why we must never waver from our standards. Please take a moment to watch this video, featuring NNS shipbuilders Sarah Young, Rick Mora, Shineka Dixon, Enoch Sutton, Christine Reinaman and Sean Nelson, commemorating this anniversary and highlighting the impact of the Thresher disaster on our work today. We must never forget.

Fire in the hole! Nice short clip here. Amazing work goes into planning bridge demolitions in general but damaged structures like this one are even more challenging! Glad this was shared so we can all see. #construction #deconstruction #demolition
Another great milestone achieved by our amazing team at the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse. Thanks to the Baltimore District, North Atlantic Division, and our partners with the Navy Supervisor of Salvage overseeing this operation and ensuring its safe execution. #Nomissiontogreat #BridgingtheAtlantic

July 1953 at the old #SouthBoston Naval Annex, part of the #Boston Navy Yard, facing northwest. The photo shows fifteen aircraft carriers from the #USNavy Atlantic Reserve Fleet, with USS Leyte in the foreground, shortly before she was converted to an antisubmarine carrier. The other fourteen are small escort carriers built on modified cargo ship hulls. Most of the ships in the picture were less than ten years old, but the pace of technological change, the rapid transition to jet aircraft after WW2 and the dawn of the missile age meant that these ships were now thoroughly obsolete for their original purpose. Nevertheless, due to the Cold War, many of these ships were kept in reserve until the late 1950s. The Boston Navy Yard was established in 1801, mostly in #Charlestown. The South Boston Naval Annex was created in 1920. Boston Navy Yard as a whole closed in 1974, most of the dock space filled in, and converted to mostly warehousing space on several new streets including Seafood Way. Dry Dock No. 3 is still one of the largest drydocks on the east coast. #history #technology #engineering

what is Bermuda triangle🏝? The Bermuda Triangle is an area in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean🚢. It's known for purportedly mysterious disappearances of ships🛳 and aircraft🛩. The boundaries of the triangle connect Bermuda, Miami, and Puerto Rico. The Bermuda Triangle gained notoriety due to reported mysterious disappearances of ships and aircraft. Some notable incidents include the disappearance of Flight 19 in 1945✈️, where five US Navy bombers vanished, and the vanishing of the USS Cyclops in 1918, a Navy cargo ship⛴️. While various theories exist, many incidents can often be attributed to natural causes like severe weather, human error, or technical malfunctions. Despite its reputation, the Bermuda Triangle doesn't have significantly higher incidents than other heavily trafficked regions. #almighty #easyexplainer

Although the character MAJ Payne is a fictitious USMC officer suited with inequalities requiring him to embrace teaching as a fortitude. Enabling reality with fiction warrants a likeness to reality. All officers are required to have a Bachelors degree to be an officer unless circumstances put that Soldier in the Audie Murphy promotion scenario. Damon Wayans researched military service members, incorporated REAL tactics and procedures utilized by officers and enlisted service members of varied branches to bring MAJ Payne alive; alive to teach values, traditions and equity to a generation of individualism type of thinkers. That aspect of teaching served as a catalyst for entertainment but… it also warranted lessons of humanity. Everything read does not constitute the lesson; action applied with the material reading, construes the reality of the lesson.
Repost United States Marine Corps Some people are upset because Florida is allowing veterans without degrees to teach. They forget that one of the most impactful teachers of our generation was a Veteran: Major Benson Winifred Payne, USMC. He was an LDO (Limited Duty Officer).

Great news for South Australia’s naval shipbuilding industry! Osborne Naval Shipyard has today been confirmed as the continuous build location for major tier 1 surface combatant ships for the Royal Australian Navy. The shipbuilding program includes the Hunter Class Frigates that will commence this year until 2043, immediately followed by the replacement program for the Hobart class destroyers. The Hunter Class Frigates will sustain at least 2,000 jobs and create an additional 500 over the next decade. This, combined with more than 4,000 estimated direct jobs for the AUKUS nuclear-powered submarines, and thousands more across supply chains, cyber, land and aerospace domains, provides long term certainty for the state’s defence industry workforce.
