A weekly publication of Newport News Shipbuilding
USS Abraham Lincoln Leaves Dry Dock
With tugboats guiding it into the James River,
USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) was moved to
Outfitting Berth 1 (OB1) on Nov. 3. This move
officially completed the dry dock portion of
the carrier’s mid-life refueling and complex
overhaul (RCOH).
At OB1, CVN 72 will undergo final outfitting
and testing.
“The end of the dry dock portion of the RCOH
marks a significant milestone in the life of an
aircraft carrier,” said Chris Miner, vice
president of In-Service Aircraft Carrier Programs. “With Lincoln in the water, shipbuilders
and sailors can focus on the final restoration,
outfitting and testing of the ship’s systems.
This Year’s
Campaign
Ends Nov. 14
Moving her to the outfitting berth marks the
point when the crew move aboard process
begins and we bring the ship back to life.”
During the dry dock phase of the RCOH,
Lincoln underwent extensive repair and
construction work both inside and out to
revamp the ship. Inside, shipbuilders
re-preserved hundreds of tanks and replaced
thousands of valves, pumps and piping
components. On the outside, they painted the
ship’s hull, updated the propeller shafts and
installed refurbished propellers.
For these last 24 months before CVN 72’s
re-delivery, shipbuilders will finish up the
overhaul and installation of the ship’s major

components and test its systems. Shipbuilders
must make sure that the electronics, combat
and propulsion systems are all operational
before the carrier is re-delivered to the Navy
in 2016. These final months will also be
dedicated to modernizing the ship’s living
quarters and making them habitable for the
sailors as they move aboard. The first group of
sailors began moving into the living spaces on
Oct. 23.
Watch a video of Lincoln moving out of the
Dry Dock 11 to OB1, where the carriers’
RCOH will be completed.

VCS Tank Crew
Recognized for Continuous
Focus on Safety
Fourteen Virginia-Class submarine (VCS)
shipbuilders were recently recognized for their
continuous focus on safety. The crew works on
VCS ballast tanks and plays a major role in the
completion of the electrical installations inside
the tanks.
“This crew takes safety very seriously,” said
Foreman Rodney Huffman. “They are quick to
question things that don’t appear safe and they
come to me with any safety concerns they have
regarding their work environment.”
The crew has been accident-free for more than
760 days.
“We stretch each morning to loosen up our
muscles before beginning work, and also hold
discussions on how we can continue to remain
safe,” said Welder Elston Copeland (X31).
Deck Electrician Jay Blunt Jr. (X31) believes
that looking out for each other has also been
key to the crew’s success. “We care about each
other and each other’s wellbeing,” he said. “If
we see something unsafe, we report it. We don’t
want anyone to get hurt from something that

could have been prevented if someone would have just spoken up.”
Huffman added, “I’m extremely proud of my crew for achieving this milestone. As a crew, we will
continue to remain safe each day and return home to our families the same way we came into work.”
Q&A with NNS Veteran
Veterans Day is Tuesday, Nov. 11. Read the
question and answer session below
featuring Master Shipbuilder and Army Veteran
Robert Blount (X31).
What is your job at NNS?
I’m an X31 foreman working on USS Abraham
Lincoln’s (CVN 72) refueling and complex
overhaul. I’ve worked at NNS for 47 years.
When did you join the Army?
I was drafted in 1968.
What were your job responsibilities in the
Army?
I was in field artillery, guarding missiles and
performing maintenance on them.
What was the most exciting place you
traveled?
I was stationed in Athens, Greece for 13
months. While I was there, I had a chance to
travel around and do a lot of sight-seeing. One
of my favorite things about Greece was the food
and the different ways it was prepared.
Recall one of your fondest memories while
you served.
It was exciting to be a young man from North
Carolina from a small town. When I left home,
it taught me to grow up fast or be left behind.
Integration had not fully taken place in schools
yet, so it introduced me to it fully and taught
me that we all need each other in order to
survive.
Why do you think it’s important to
recognize Veterans?
It’s important to recognize the men and women
who have been away from their families to fight
for our freedom. When I was in the service, vets
didn’t get the recognition they deserved. When
I came home, it seemed like my family was the
only ones who were glad to have me home.

NOTICE: Phishing, Phone Scams
and Harrassment Calls
Go behind the scenes of the John Warner (SSN 785)
Christening, the mast stepping of USS Abraham
Lincoln (CVN 72) and HealthWaves’ Take an Hour.
Watch the full edition on Yardnet.
“Phishing” is any attempt to acquire sensitive
information including usernames, date-of-birth,
passwords, account numbers and sometimes money
by posing as a trustworthy source, such as a bank,
financial institution or credit card company. This
form of attempting to get sensitive information may
be electronic communications (email) and may also
include unsolicited phone calls.
Keel Laying Ceremony
Due to recent phone scams and harassment calls
that some shipbuilders have reported receiving at
their homes, NNS would like to remind its employees
to never give out personal information to anyone
– at work or at home. According to the U.S.
Department of the Treasury, government agencies
will NEVER contact citizens by phone, email or text,
to ask you to provide personal information. Watch
a 60-second public service announcement video
published by the Department of the Treasury warning
citizens about these types of calls.
On Saturday, Nov. 22, Newport News Shipbuilding
will lay the keel for the 14th Virginia-class submarine,
Washington (SSN 787). Ship’s Sponsor Elisabeth
Mabus, daughter of Secretary of the Navy Ray
Mabus, will have her initials welded onto a metal
plate during the ceremony, in keeping with U.S. Navy
tradition. Though construction began in 2011, the keel
laying marks the first official construction milestone
for the submarine.
Attendance to the event will be limited to a small
number of guests, however, a live webcast of the
ceremony will be available beginning at 4 p.m. at
www.huntingtoningalls.com/ssn787.
Visit www.stopfraud.gov for more information.
Shipbuilders who receive a call like this at work
should contact the Security Department (O15).

HII HOSTS U.S. NUCLEAR INFRASTRUCTURE COUNCIL AT NNS
Huntington Ingalls Industries showcased its nuclear capabilities to a U.S. Nuclear Infrastructure Council delegation during a tour of Newport News Shipbuilding
on Nov. 6. HII is a member of the NIC, a Washington, D.C.-based business consortium that advocates for new nuclear energy initiatives in the United States
and engagement of the American supply chain globally. NNS Vice President of Energy Programs Pete Diakun led the shipyard tour, which included stops
at Newport News’ steel production facility and foundry and a submarine construction facility. The group also learned about the shipyard’s modeling and
simulation, supply chain management, and nuclear energy efforts. Visit newsroom.huntingtoningalls.com for more information. Photo by Ricky Thompson
