visibility is near zero. These enhanced underwater vision systems would be fed directly into the DAVD HUD. “We constantly engage with the oper-
ators; if there is a vision they have, we can make it happen,” Gallagher said. “By having this type of positive on-the-spot feedback, you know you’re going down the right road.”
Gallagher and his team have collabo-
rated with, and demonstrated the system to more than 20 divers from various commands who shared his vision of this futuristic capa- bility for Navy divers. The team is now working on phase two,
where components are being designed to include both helmet systems and full face masks. Divers are scheduled to conduct in-water simulation testing in October. Phase three is set to begin in fi scal year 2017 to harden the system for expanded fi eld testing with various dive commands.
Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus Names Virginia-Class Submarine From Secretary of the Navy Public Aff airs WASHINGTON (NNS) -- Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus announced June 15 that SSN 800, a Virginia-class attack submarine, will bear the name USS Arkansas. “As we sail deeper into the 21st century
it is time for another USS Arkansas; time to keep that storied name alive in our Navy,” said Mabus. “She will sail the world like those who have gone before her, defending the American people and representing our
American values through presence.” The future USS Arkansas will be the
fi fth naval vessel to bear the name. The fi rst was a screw steamer originally named Tonawanda that served in the American Civ- il War; the second, commissioned in 1902, was an Arkansas-class monitor with a single gun turret and was one of the last monitors of the U.S. Navy. The third Arkansas was one of two Wyoming-class battleships, com- missioned in 1912. The last Arkansas, one of four Virginia-class nuclear-powered guided missile cruisers, commissioned in 1980 and decommissioned in 1998. The submarine will begin construction
in 2018 and is expected to join the fl eet in 2023.
Virginia-class attack submarines pro-
vide the Navy with the capabilities required to maintain the nation’s undersea suprem- acy well into the 21st century. They have enhanced stealth, sophisticated surveillance capabilities and special warfare enhance- ments that will enable them to meet the Navy’s multi-mission requirements. These submarines have the capability
to attack targets ashore with highly accu- rate Tomahawk cruise missiles and conduct covert, long-term surveillance of land areas, littoral waters or other sea-based forces. Other missions include anti-submarine and anti-ship warfare, mine delivery and mine- fi eld mapping. They are also designed for special forces delivery and support. Each Virginia-class submarine weighs
7,800 tons and is 377 feet in length, has a beam of 34 feet, and can operate at more than 25 knots submerged. They are designed with

a reactor plant that will not require refueling during the planned life of the ship, reducing lifecycle costs while increasing underway time. The submarine will be built under a unique teaming agreement between Gen- eral Dynamics Electric Boat (GDEB) and Newport News Shipbuilding, a division of Huntington Ingalls Industries, wherein both companies build certain portions of each submarine and then alternate deliveries. Arkansas will be delivered by NNS located in Newport News, Virginia.
Secretary Mabus Names Destroyer after Pioneering US Navy Nurse From Secretary of the Navy Public Aff airs ARLINGTON, Va. (NNS) -- During a cer- emony to honor women who served in the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus announced an Ar- leigh-Burke class destroyer, DDG 123, will be named Lenah H. Sutcliff e Higbee. Higbee, the future ship’s namesake, was
a pioneering United States Navy chief nurse, who served as the Superintendent of the U.S. Navy Nurse Corps during World War I and was the fi rst female recipient of the Navy Cross.
“It is a great honor to name this ship in
recognition of Lenah H. Sutcliff e Higbee,” said Mabus. “I have no doubt that all who serve aboard her will carry on the legacy of service and commitment exemplifi ed by this pioneer of U.S. Navy Nurse Corps.” The former USS Higbee (DD-806),
commissioned in 1945, was the fi rst ship named in her honor and the fi rst U.S. Navy combat ship to bear the name of a female

member of the Naval service. Mabus honored the service and sacrifi ce
of women who served in the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps during a sunset parade on United States Marine Corps Iwo Jima Memorial grounds. “This ship will be a part of our fl eet for
decades, and the legacy of Lenah Sutcliff e Higbee and her service to our nation will live on for decades through the ship’s voyages across the oceans, and through the lives of the crew who will sail aboard it,” said Ma- bus.
“Higbee’s professionalism, leadership
and selfl ess dedication to her nurses and patients refl ect the highest standards of naval service,” said Dr. Regina T. Akers, naval historian. “She and her nurses provided the best treatment possible often under some of the worse conditions. Higbee will continue to inspire all who learn of her courage, honor and commitment.” Arleigh-Burke class destroyers conduct
a variety of operations from peacetime pres- ence and crisis response to sea control and power projection. DDG 123 will be capable of fi ghting air, surface and subsurface battles simultaneously and will contain a combina- tion of off ensive and defensive weapon sys- tems designed to support maritime warfare, including integrated air and missile defense and vertical launch capabilities. The ship will be constructed at Ingalls
Shipbuilding, in Mississippi and is expected to enter the Navy fl eet in 2024. The ship will be 509-feet-long, have a beam length of 59 feet and be capable of operating at speeds in excess of 30 knots.
