April 2018 — Despite blowing snow and highwinds, visitors and employees turned out on Saturday, April 14, to witness ship sponsor, Jill Truitt Donnelly, christen the future USS Indianapolis (LCS 17) at the FincantieriMarinette Marine (FMM) shipyard.

“As a native Hoosier and the daughter of twoWorld War II veterans, there is no greaterhonor than to serve as the sponsor of the futureUSS Indianapolis,” Jill Donnelly said. “This shippays tribute to the legacy of brave and resilientsailors. And I know the people of Indianapolis—and all Hoosiers—will support this ship and herfuture crews for decades to come.”

The future USS Indianapolis is named in honorof the incredibly brave men and women in

uniform who have served our country for gener-ations and who continue to serve today. Oncecommissioned, LCS 17 will be the fourth ship to be named in honor of Indiana’s state capital.

“This ship represents the best of America,”Donnelly said. “Dozens of skilled tradesmen andwomen coming together in Wisconsin, workingwith Indiana steel and serving the mission ofkeeping us safe and secure. It is such a thrill tostand here today and see the culmination of alltheir hard work.”

Dear Employees,

2018 is proving to be an eventful year. We have

witnessed a lot of hard work and accomplish-

ments on many fronts. In the past month,

Fincantieri Marinette Marine has made history

within our industry. We launched LCS 17, and

successfully trialed LCS 11 and LCS 13 back to

back. Navy and industry representatives have

commended us on our flawless execution and

teamwork.

In addition to trials and launch, our Program

Management, Bids and Proposals, and Finance

teams executed two consecutive proposals. Com-

pleting these milestones took a lot of heavy lift-

ing and long days that led into nights. Thank

you to everyone who has worked tirelessly in

advancing Fincantieri Marinette Marine to suc-

cessfully achieve this multitude of accomplish-

ments! FMM is on the brink of growth. We are

currently a one-product shipyard – LCS – but

we are in competition for several additional pro-

grams including the MMSC, FFG(X), and HPIB.

Again, thank you to every single person that has

dedicated their time and energy into completing

our recent major milestones. Every win we make

as a company positions us to be prime for future

programs, and pave the path for the next chapter

in FMM’s rich legacy.

Thank you,Jan Allman, FMM President - CEO/GM

In an elite classall our own...Fincantieri MarinetteMarine is now amongvery few in the worldto complete successfulback-to-back sea trials.

Our team should feel a

great deal of pride over

what has been accom-

plished in the past 2

months. Since the start of

April we Christened and

Launched LCS 17 and

successfully completed

Builders Sea Trials for

both LCS 11 and LCS 13.

The magnitude of these

accomplishments has been

recognized internally

as well as by external

industry representatives.

This important milestone

has put us in an elite class

of our own. All of these

missions were conducted

efficiently, expertly, and

safely. This is truly a testa-

ment to the hard work and

expertise of this team.

Now that the future USS

Sioux City and USS Wichita

have successfully com-

pleted these, they will

move to Acceptance Trials

(AT) in the months ahead.

We anticipate a ‘clean

LCS 17 (Indianapolis ) Mast SteppingThe crew of the future USS Indianapolis (LCS 17), repre-sentatives from the U.S. Navy;Lockheed Martin; Indiana’sMajor General, representingthe city of Indianapolis; thePre-Commissioning Unit(PCU) Indianapolis (LCS 17);and Fincantieri Marinette Marine (FMM) conducted amast-stepping ceremony inMarinette on Friday, April 13.

Jill Truitt Donnelly, the ship'ssponsor, joined the ship’sprospective officers, ‘Indian-apolis Blue Sea Wolves,’

distinguished guestsfrom Indiana; and the LCS Team in placing items into the container repre-senting the heritage of the ship and namesake city.

Included in the container is a Christening coin, aU.S. Senator Donnelly coin, aFMM President’s coin, a LCS17 keel laying coin, a miniatureof the Indiana veteran’s statue,and several other items repre-

senting the sponsor, the Navyand namesake city.

FMM will seal and weld thecontainer into the ship's mast at a later date.

February 2018 — A keel-laying ceremony was held February 22 for the next LCS now being built at FMM. The future USS Minneapolis-St. Paulwill be the 11th in the Freedom-variantof the ship and 21stoverall. The keel is generally the first partof a ship's hull to beconstructed and layingthe keel is often markedwith a ceremonial event.

As is tradition, theship's sponsor, Jodi J.Greene, authenticatedthe keel by engravingher initials onto a steel plate that will beplaced in the hull of theship. The initials willserve as a reminder to

those serving aboardthat they and the ship represent the cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul. Greene is

the Deputy UnderSecretary of the Navyfor Policy and is fromDuluth, MN.

FMM has deliveredfive such ships to theU.S. Navy, and LCS 21is one of eight shipsin various stages ofconstruction at FMM,with one more inlong-lead production.

This is the second U.S.Navy vessel to carrythe combined USSMinneapolis-St. Paulname. A submarine bythat name was in serv-ice from 1984 to 2008.

QU.S. NAVY AWARDS CONCEPT DESIGN CONTRACTFebruary 2018 — The U.S. Navy awarded FincantieriMarinette Marine a $15M contract to evolve its FREMM-design into the next generation FFG(X) guided missile frigate.

In total, the Navy awarded contracts to five teams with designs that could potentially fulfill its future FFG(X) requirements. The contracts were awarded to MarinetteMarine, General Dynamics Bath Iron Works, HuntingtonIngalls, Austal USA, and Lockheed Martin.

FMM has teamed with Gibbs & Cox and Trident MaritimeSystems to evolve FREMM and adapt to U.S. design stan-dards. Today, six FREMM frigates are already in servicewith the Italian Navy and have successfully completed multi-role missions worldwide. A FREMM-based design has also been chosen in Australia for the final stage of theSEA5000 project to acquire nine AEGIS-equipped Anti-Submarine Warfare Frigates for the Royal Australian Navy.

FMM is also the shipbuilder for Lockheed Martin’s FFG(X) design which will be based on the Freedom-variantLittoral Combat Ship.

FFG(X) is among the Navy’s most important initiatives. It is estimated that at least 20 of the FFG(X)s will be built.Once a design has been selected from the five teams, a single-source construction contract will be awarded in 2020.

USS Little Rockdeparted MontrealApril 2018 — The frigid icy water finally released the

USS Little Rock (LCS 9) after being trapped by ice on

the St. Lawrence River for the past three months.

After weathering the winter pier-side in Montreal,

she left on Saturday, March 31, bound for the

Atlantic Ocean and arrived at her homeport of Naval

Station Mayport, FL on Thursday, April 12.

“The ship was moored at the Port of Montreal until

weather conditions improved and the St. Lawrence

Seaway melted enough for the safe passage of the

ship,” said Public Affairs Lt. Cmdr. Courtney

Hillson. “Keeping the ship in Montreal until weather

conditions improved ensured the safety of the ship

and crew.”

Steel cutting to begin for Qatar Navy shipsThe first steel cutting of the Qatari Emiri Navy’s corvettes is set totake place in July 2018 while the delivery of the first two units, onecorvette and one offshore patrol vessel, is expected in 2021. The unitsare being constructed in Genoa, Italy. The corvette has a length of107 meters and a draft of 4.2 meters for a full-load displacement of3,250 tons. Its maximum speed is set to be 28 knots, and its range3,500 nautical miles (at 15 knots).

Construction of Regent Seven Seas cruise shipConstruction of a new ultra-luxury cruise ship for Norwegian CruiseLine’s Regent Seven Seas Cruises has commenced at the shipyard inAncona, Italy. The Seven Seas Splendor ship represents the secondultra-luxury vessel to be built by Fincantieri for Regent Seven SeasCruises. Its delivery is expected by early 2020.

Silversea luxury cruise ship cut in halfWhat’s a cruise company to do when it needs a bigger ship? Apparently, just saw it in half and add an extra 49 feet. In March, Silversea began the lengthening process of its Silver Spirit ship at theshipyard in Palermo, Italy. This type of lengthening has never beforebeen employed for a luxury cruise ship. The project will create morespace in publicareas and will enhance SilverSpirit’s facilities,including addingincreased spacefor dining, out-door seating andexpanding thepool deck.

LCS 27 named NantucketOn Tuesday, February 13, the Secretary of the Navy, Richard V.Spencer, announced the names of the next two Littoral CombatShips (LCSs). The next Freedom-class Littoral Combat Ship willbe named USS Nantucket (LCS 27) and the Independence-classwill be named USS Savannah (LCS 28).

The Freedom class legacy started with the keel-laying of USSFreedom (LCS 1) in 2005. Over the past 13 years, FMM has laidkeels for an additional 10 LCSs and the future Nantucket will be the 14th Freedom-class Littoral Combat Ship built at FMM.

Nantucket is going to be the third commissioned U.S. Navy shipto honor the maritime history of Nantucket. The first USS Nantucket (1862) was a Passaic-class coastal monitor and the second was a gunboat in the early 1900s.

Austal USA in Mobile, AL, will build the Independence-variant Littoral Combat Ship Savannah. It is the sixth ship to bear the name of the oldest city in Georgia.

TIPS FOR BEING A GOOD CONSUMER OF HEALTHCAREEveryone can play a role in controlling the rising cost of health care.

Here are nine ways to help reduce how much you spend now and in the future.

Did you know you have Teladoc®?If you are enrolled in Fincantieri Marine Group health insurance, you have accessto a doctor 24 hours, 7 days a week. Set up your account in three easy steps. Visit teledoc.com or call 1-800-Teladoc.

Complete preventive exams. This includes physicals (exams),vaccines, blood tests, and cancer screenings. Take advantage ofthe preventive exams covered through medical plans at 100-percent. Routine screenings can diagnose and sometimes preventmajor illnesses.

Access in-network services. Before you go for an appointment,verify that your physicians, pharmacies, medical facilities, den-tists, and eye doctors are in the network to save yourself money.Out-of-network providers may cost you more out-of-pocket.

Establish Primary Care Provider (PCP) relationships. Establish a relationship with a PCP you trust and feel comfort-able sharing your overall health. Your PCP will be your greatestadvocate in all health situations.

Manage chronic illnesses. If you have a chronic illness, besure to stay compliant with your physician’s orders. Stay currentwith your office visits and lab work. Take medications as prescribed. Ask your provider for support groups and how you can get be proactive in managing your own health.

Use an Onsite Clinic health coach. Lifestyle health coachingcan help with tobacco cessation, nutrition, fitness advice andmuch more. Call one of our Onsite Clinics to schedule an appointment with a health coach.

Use generic drugs. Generic drugs are the same as other med-ications, just without the brand name. The biggest difference isprice. When generics are not available, ask if there is a differentgeneric or drug equivalent in the same category.

Choose the right care. Know when to use the emergencyroom, urgent care facility, and onsite medical clinic. The emer-gency room is the most expensive place to receive care. Consideran urgent care center or a retail medical clinic if possible. It will save you time, as well as money.

Take care of yourself. An unhealthy lifestyle can be an expensive one. A balanced diet and exercise can help control and prevent high blood pressure; cholesterol; diabetes; and heart disease, in addition to other major risk factors. Practicemoderation if you drink alcohol. Seek support to manage stress,anxiety, and depression. You will feel better and you will save afew dollars.

Review your EOB (Explanation of Benefits). Review the EOBstatements sent to you from your insurance to ensure you wereproperly billed. Verify the date of service, the provider of services, the patient, as well as the service billed and the totalcost. Contact your physician or insurance company if you suspect an incorrect charge.

Tick, Tick! – It's Spring Spring and summer seasonsare upon us! We shouldn’t for-get that this time of year also“welcomes” pesky seasonal insects, including ticks. Don'tlet their small size and incon-spicuous nature fool you–ticks can be highly dangerous. Not only can they carry thebacterial infection Lyme disease, but they also harborthe ability to transmit the disease through their bite. The bite can result in a bull's-eye shaped rash that may lead to more serious conditions if left untreated.

If Lyme disease is suspected,the doctor may order a bloodtest. If a patient develops aring-shaped rash, most doctors will start treatmentimmediately. And remember,just because someone has hadLyme disease once doesn’tmake them immune to futureinfections.

Things to Do to Prevent Tick Bites Avoid moist and humid

locations, grassy and woodedareas, and trails. Ticks arealso found in shrubs and leaflitter too.

If hiking, avoid brushingagainst bushes or thick plants.Walk where it is clear, alongthe center of trails.

Treat hiking boots and clothing with permethrin-based anti-tick products.

Protect skin from bites for hours by applying tick repellents containing DEET.

Don’t forget to protect yourpets from tick bites too.

Paper Consumption and PrintingDuring 2017 FMG in total had:

5,549,871 pages printed 74% of print jobs single sided 4,978,921 sheets of paper

(0.631cents/sheet, $31,417) Consumed over 597 trees Produced 63,232 kg of CO2

Used 237,544 kwh of power ($0.07/kwh $16,628)

For the first 3 months of 2018, here are the totalpages printed counted by FMM departments: 150,000 plus: Engineering and Manufacturing 50,000 to 150,000: Barcode Labels, Planning,

Program Management, and Purchasing 10,000 to 50,000: Finance, Human Resources,

nologies, Legal, Material Handling, and SecurityIf we reduce printing by 20%, we would see ayearly savings of $6,283 in paper and $3,325 inpower consumption.

Here are practical tips on how you can implementcost-saving and paper reduction: It is simply too easy to push the print-button.

A lot of paper is wasted by printing out

single line emails or unnecessary copies of documents. If you need to keep a copy, keep them stored electronically on the networkdrives instead.

Print copies two-sided in black and white instead of in color or one-sided. (Color inkcosts a LOT more than black ink.)

Avoid printing bulk copies of materials or presentations. Instead, print documents onlyon an “as needed” basis.

Determine ahead of time whether hard copiesare truly needed for a meeting or if it is sufficient to make it electronically availableprior to the session.

Instead of photocopying items, scan and sendthem to your email. Then transfer/store to anetwork drive.

Reducing Energy ConsumptionWhether at work or at home, everyone is encouraged to adopt the practice of switchingoff lights when not in use. Not only will youconserve energy, you will save money too!

If you switch off the standard 3-light fluorescentceiling lighting units located in your workspacefor just one hour every work day for one year,you could save up to $2.70 per unit/per year.There are 500 such units in the FMM Tech Center. We could realize an overall savings of$1,350 per year in Building 28 alone.

Conserving energy goes beyond your work area.If you are last to leave, remember to switch offlights in all vacated offices, workspaces, meet-ing/conference rooms, and restrooms. Make it ahabit to switch off lights whenever not in use.
