Future USS Little Rock (LCS 9) Com- pletes Acceptance Trial


From PEO Littoral Combat Ships Public Aff airs


MARINETTE, Wis. (NNS) -- The future USS Little Rock (LCS 9) successfully concluded its acceptance trial Aug. 25 after completing a series of graded in-port and underway demonstrations on the Great Lakes for the Navy’s Board of Inspection and Survey. The acceptance trial is the last signif-


icant milestone before delivery of the ship to the Navy, which is planned for this fall. During the trial, the Navy conducted com- prehensive tests of the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) intended to demonstrate the perfor- mance of the propulsion plant, ship handling and auxiliary systems. While underway, the ship successfully completed a full-power run along with all associated steering and maneuvering events (quick reversals and quick ahead) to demonstrate the ship’s ma- neuverability. The ship also conducted the anchor demonstration and successful sur- face and air self-defense detect-to-engage exercises. “Of particular note was completion of


a full-power demonstration utilizing 100 percent of available propulsion power. This mode of operation was previously restricted due to a design issue which is now resolved,” said LCS Program Manager Capt. Michael Taylor. “Little Rock’s performance during her acceptance trial is a testament to the hard work of the Marinette workforce. I look forward to placing the ship in the capable hands of her crew early this fall.” Following delivery and commissioning


in Buff alo, New York, LCS 9 will sail to Florida to be homeported in Mayport with sister ships USS Milwaukee (LCS 5) and USS Detroit (LCS 7). Several more Freedom variants are


under construction at Fincantieri Marinette Marine Corp. in Marinette, Wisconsin. Christened in January 2016, Sioux City (LCS 11) is currently conducting system testing in preparation for trials in 2017. The future USS Wichita (LCS 13) is preparing for Builder’s Trials in 2018. Meanwhile, Billings (LCS 15) was christened in July and sister ship Indianapolis (LCS 17) will be christened in fall of 2017. Additional ships

in the production phase include St. Louis (LCS 19), Minneapolis St. Paul (LCS 21), with Cooperstown (LCS 23) and Marinette (LCS 25) in the pre-production phases. The LCS class consists of two variants,


the Freedom variant and the Independence variant, designed and built by two industry teams. The Freedom variant team is led by Lockheed Martin (for the odd-numbered hulls, e.g. LCS 1). The Independence variant team is led by Austal USA (for LCS 6 and the subsequent even-numbered hulls). Each LCS will be outfi tted with a mis-


sion package made up of mission modules containing warfi ghting systems and support equipment. A dedicated ship crew will com- bine with aviation assets to deploy manned and unmanned vehicles and sensors in support of mine countermeasures, anti-sub- marine warfare or surface warfare missions.


Navy Intends to Heavy Lift USS John S McCain (DDG 56) to Yokosuka From Naval Sea Systems Command Offi ce of Corporate Communications


WASHINGTON (NNS) -- The Navy intends to issue a task order on an existing contract, for the salvage patching and transport via heavy lift of USS John S McCain (DDG 56) from Changi Naval Base in Singapore to the U.S. Navy’s Ship Repair Facility-Japan Regional Maintenance Center in Yokosuka, Japan.


The lift is notionally planned for late


September. The Navy is moving John S. McCain


to Yokosuka to allow the crew to be close to their families and to allow for a complete assessment of the damage. Completion of the damage assessment is required to ful- ly determine repair plans to include cost, schedule and location for the ship’s repairs. The guided-missile destroyer USS


John S McCain was involved in a collision with the merchant vessel Alnic MC while underway east of the Straits of Malacca and Singapore Aug 21. The ship suff ered signifi cant damage

emigration terms because it’s hard,” Gaichas says.


The future looks bright This use of linking multiple Ecopath


models may not be limited to just a few discrete oceanic regions. Lucey says, “You could actually theoretically link say a mid-Atlantic Ecopath model to a Chesa- peake Bay Ecopath model and now you can answer questions about connectivity from freshwater all the way to the marine system and that’s one thing that people are interested in doing.” The future for the team and for fi sheries


science is looking bright with a research tool like Rpath. While exploring new territory is diffi cult, it’s also very exciting. “What Sean is doing is really new. People have built models at diff erent spatial scales before, but using those terms to actually move the biomass between them in a rigorous way using what we know about species migration and then seeing what diff erence that makes, I don’t think it’s been done,” says Gaichas. “It’s really cool stuff .”


Rpath is not only being used by Lucey in the Northeast; it’s also being used by originator Kerim Aydin in Alaska. In fact, other scien- tists across the U.S. and internationally are using it for their EBFM needs. Try it today! The Rpath package is publicly available on Lucey’s GitHub account.

Navy Announces Plan to Survey Wreck of WWI Cruiser San Diego From Naval History and Heritage Com- mand, Communication and Outreach Division


WASHINGTON (NNS) -- The Navy an- nounced plans Sept. 6 to survey the wreck of the World War I U.S. Navy cruiser, on which six American Sailors lost their lives when she was sunk as a result of enemy action off the coast of New York on July 19, 1918. The survey’s objective is to assess the


condition of the wreck site and determine if the ship, the only major warship lost by the United States in, was sunk as a result of a German submarine-launched torpedo or mine. Ultimately, data gathered will help inform the management of the sunken mili- tary craft, which lies only a few miles south of Long Island. The announcement comes just weeks


after the 99th anniversary of the sinking of the ship, and the survey, which is planned for Sept. 11-15, is timed to allow researchers to conduct a thorough examination of the site and prepare, then release, their fi ndings around the date of the 100th anniversary. The U.S. is currently commemorating the 100th anniversary of its entry into World War I. The survey, led by the Naval History


and Heritage Command’s Underwater Archaeology Branch will be performed in partnership with the Coastal Sediments, Hy- drodynamics, and Engineering Laboratory (CSHEL) of the University of Delaware’s (UD) College of Earth, Ocean, and Envi- ronment. Additional research support will be provided by the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division (NSWCCD), the offi ce of Naval Intelligence (ONI), and the Fire Island U.S. Coast Guard Station (USCGSFI) will provide essential logistical support.


NHHC is responsible for the manage-


ment, research, preservation, and inter- pretation of the U.S. Navy’s collection of sunken military craft which includes more than 2,500 shipwrecks and 14,000 aircraft wrecks dispersed globally. “Studying sunken military craft off ers


researchers a glimpse into the lives of the Sailors who served in them, as well as the Navy and the nation they served,” said NHHC’s Underwater Archaeology Branch Head Robert Neyland, Ph.D. “We believe the modern remote sensing and interpretive tools at our disposal now will help our understanding of the site and maybe teach us something new about what caused San Diego to sink.” The University of Delaware will pro-


vide remote sensing and interpretive capa- bility in support of the survey. UD’s previous study of coastal ecosystems has revealed much detail on the outcomes of interactions between tides, currents, beaches, natural seafl oor features, marine life, and man-made objects.


Much of that work has been completed


using underwater robotics and remotely deployed instruments including an autono- mous underwater vehicle which is an unteth- ered, wide-ranging robot that documents the seafl oor. The University of Delaware will also provide essential logistical support with its research vessel Joanne Daiber, which supports the university’s scientifi c studies, using unmanned vehicles and other state- of-the-art sensor technology. The vessel also provides a work platform and experiential classroom for students engaged in coastal research.
