Annie Mabus authenticates the keel of the nuclear submarine Colorado at a
ceremony held Saturday at Electric Boat’s Quonset Point facility. The event
marked the ceremonial start of construction for the 15th Virginia-class
submarine and was attended by local and Congressional dignitaries, Navy
officials and more than 1,000 Electric Boat employees and family members.
Mabus, the ship sponsor of Colorado, chalked her initials on a steel plate,
which were then welded by Electric Boat employee John Alves. The steel
plate will be permanently affixed in the submarine Colorado. Secretary of the
Navy Ray Mabus, the event’s principal speaker, is the ship sponsor’s father.

A fter a powerful rendition of the National Anthem by Quonset Point employee Scott Lacaillade, Electric Boat continued a time-honored shipbuilding tradition. On March 7, Ship Sponsor Annie Mabus laid the keel of the submarine Colorado, marking the ceremonial start of con-
struction for the 15th ship of the Virginia Class.The event was hosted by Electric Boat at its Quonset Point facility and attended
by more than 1,400 local and Congressional dignitaries, Navy officials, and employees and family members. Annie Mabus, the daughter of Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus, chalked her initials on a steel plate to be affixed in the submarine. Electric Boat employee John Alves then welded Mabus’ initials onto the plate as the EB vocal group SubTones sang Colorado’s second state song “Rocky Mountain High.”
“Here in Quonset Point and Groton, in Newport News and around the country, thousands and thousands of exception-ally skilled shipbuilders will build the USS Colorado, the most advanced ship in the world,” said Secretary Mabus. “No one builds warships as well as America. “No one.”

“Though the technology aboard this sub gives it a powerful advantage, the real strength, the real edge, for the USS Colorado will be its crew,” Secretary Mabus said. “Our sailors are unmatched anywhere in the world in skill, in education, in dedication. We expect our sailors to lead and perform at every level. Day in, day out, they do just that,” he said.
Secretary Mabus was introduced by Vice Adm. Michael Connor, commander – Naval Submarine Forces. Speaking to Electric Boat President Jeff Geiger and Newport News Presi-dent Matt Mulherin, Connor said, “You and your team have my gratitude and respect. I have been in this business for 35 years, and I never cease to
be amazed at what your people can do with their minds and their hands.
Connor continued, “The submarine service is an elite force that combines both high technology and an austere working envi-ronment. On a submarine, every person places their life in the hands of every other person on the ship. It sounds scary to the
outsider. However, once you meet the crew you will know how they can come to have such con-fidence in each other. To those who design and build these ships, you know we place our lives
in your hands as well,” he said.
Rear Adm. David Johnson, program executive officer for submarines, expressed his appreciation to the employees of both ship-yards. “I would like to thank Electric Boat and Newport News Ship-building for doing your part in continuing to maintain and build our fleet. I recognize that this can be challenging in today’s economic environ-ment. But you continue to deliver, and the United States Navy thanks you for it.”
Describing submarines as a vital part of the nation’s security strategy, Johnson continued, “Virginia-class submarines such as the Colorado continue to drive down costs while improv-ing on the functionality and performance of the ships before her. Improvements in modular

JIM LANGEVIN, U.S. Rep., R.I.
“I want to recognize the men and women of Electric Boat who build these great submarines. I’ve often said that we have the finest military on the face of the planet because of the men and women who wear the uniform and go to work every day to keep us safe.”
JOE COURTNEY, U.S. Rep., Conn.
“ It’s tangible, it’s real, and it’s enduring, what all of these folks have created here in southeastern New England. The keel laying of the Colorado is another step forward to sustaining the synergy that’s work-ing not just for our region but for our nation.”
GINA RAIMONDO, Rhode Island Governor
“Electric Boat is core to the economy of Rhode Island because Electric Boat continues to provide thousands of high-skilled, well-paid, family-supporting jobs. I am committed to the continued success of Electric Boat because this state needs you to be successful.”

construction, open architecture, and off-the-shelf components along with state-of-the-art technology will increase the underwater advantage that we already have.”
“Colorado will be a testament to the dedication of the employees of Electric Boat and Newport News Shipbuilding; our supplier network; the leadership of the U.S. Navy, and our supporters in Congress,” said Geiger.
Serving as the backdrop for the ceremony was Section 8-9, the 100-foot, 1,600-ton module that will contain Colorado’s engine room.
“When we transport this module to our Groton shipyard in April, it will be virtu-ally complete, ready to be joined with three other hull sections to form the submarine Colorado,” Geiger said. “It’s an important example of the innovative approaches the Navy/industry team is applying to maintain the Virginia program as an efficient and affordable shipbuilding program.”

JACK REED, U.S. Senator, R.I.
“To all of the talented men and women at Quonset Point and Groton and Newport News who continue to build the Colorado and her sister ships, because of your dedication and diligence our sailors will be able to do their jobs safely and effectively.”
T he submarine Colorado is the fourth U.S. Navy ship to be named for the nation’s
38th state.The first Colorado was a three-
masted steam-screw frigate launched at Norfolk Navy Yard in 1856. During the Civil War, Colorado was flagship of the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron and played a prominent role in the sei-zure of Fort Fisher in North Caro-lina. In the post-war years, the ship cruised on Asiatic Station. In 1885, the ship was sold to private interests and broken up.
The next ship named for Colorado was a 13,680-ton armored cruiser launched in Philadelphia in 1903. In 1915, Colorado became the flagship of the Pacific Reserve Fleet, and a year later, was renamed Pueblo so that a larger ship could bear the name of the Centennial State. USS Pueblo escorted troop ships to France in 1917, and after the end of the war in 1918, brought more than 10,000 troops home to the U.S.
The third ship named Colorado, the lead ship of the Colorado Class of battleships, was launched in Camden, N.J., in 1921. During World War II, the ship participated in the invasions of Kwajalein and Eniwetok in 1944 and later pro-vided fire support for the landings at Saipan, Guam and Tinian. While off Tinian, Colorado received 22 hits from shore batteries, killing 43 men and wounding 198. A week after arriving in Leyte Gulf, the ship was hit by two kamikazes, which killed 19 of its crew. Colo-rado received seven battle stars for World War II service. In 1947, the ship was taken out of commission.

CRANE 354 STILL GOING STRONG AFTER 100 YEARS OF SHIPBUILDING
ATTENDEES AT CRANE 354’S 100TH BIRTHDAY PARTY IN THE MACHINE SHOP INCLUDED REPRESENTATIVES FROM OPERATIONS, FACILITIES AND SHIP’S MANAGEMENT.
O ne heavy lifter at Electric Boat has all the 40- and 50-year service award recipients beat: last month, Crane 354
in the machine shop reached its 100th year of service and was honored with a birthday cake and party.
“It was an event I could not let pass, and a remarkable achievement for a piece of machinery that has been in service that long,” said Paul Sweeney, manager of lift-ing & handling (D507). “Forty years after
we got it, we were building the first nuclear submarine – imagine what this crane has seen!”
During a review of inventory records, Sweeney noticed that the crane, which was manufactured by the Niles Bement Pond Company, has been in service since 1915. Its main hoist capacity is 25 tons with an auxiliary capacity of 5 tons. Crane 354 has been used on every class of submarine lift-ing logistics escape trunks, main sea water
Crane 354 has been used on every class of submarine lifting logistics escape trunks, main sea water valves, depth control valves, air induction – diesel exhaust valves, vertical launch system tubes, torpedo tubes, Polaris missile tubes, and shop machinery.

valves, depth control valves, air induction – diesel exhaust valves, vertical launch system tubes, torpedo tubes, Polaris missile tubes, and shop machinery.
But Crane 354 cannot do anything without skilled operators. “It doesn’t run by itself, and it’s one of the busiest cranes in the shipyard,” said Doug Bourque, manager of operations (D100). “The riggers and crane operators who work in the machine shop are unsung heroes – I appreciate everything they do and their performance has been outstanding both in safety and the quality of work they do.”
Operations personnel recognized at the Crane 354 party included retiree Don Greene, a crane operator for 45 years; retiree Mike Lachappelle, a rigger for 40 years; crane operator Steve Vlaun, with 28 years of service; rigger/crane operator Andy Crider, who has served for 7 years; one-year rigger Chris Buck, and large lathe working leader Sal Vlaun, a 43-year worker who also is a trained rigger/crane operator. Also invited were machine shop and facilities employees, members of management, and EB President Jeff Geiger.
The party included remarks by Geiger and managers. The cake, purchased from professional cake maker – Katie Natoli, wife of engineer Stephen Natoli (D507) – was a big hit.
The secret to a long life for a crane? Exer-cise and preventive maintenance that ranges from monthly and annual inspections to oil analysis and infrared analysis of the electri-cal systems.
Key personnel in cranes, lifting & han-dling equipment include supervisors Brian Casey (engineering), Tom Barbone (certi-fication and test), Ernest Maxwell (main-tenance and repair), and most importantly, all the men and women of D507 who play a vital role in keeping Crane 354, and Gro-ton’s 235 other cranes, in service providing the shipyard with lifting equipment that is safe, legal, and fully supportive of subma-rine construction. “We test it, inspect it, repair it, modify it, overhaul it, then certify it,” said Sweeney of the 100-year-old 354. “My people have done a great job.”

W hile this year’s Heart Walk at Rocky Neck State Park may be months away on Oct. 5, employees, friends
and families are already busy baking and buying pins, bracelets and books to raise money for the fight against heart disease.
“We did it! We raised $10,000 with our Go Red Campaign,” said Heart Walk coordinator Ely Davis-Murphy (D400). “Thanks go out to the 78 people involved. We had 32 pin sell-ers, 36 bakers and 10 helpers.”
This year’s goal is $50,000. Last year, EB employees donated $48,834 and claimed
a trophy for the second year in a row in a friendly competition with Mohegan Sun, which donated $32,148.
“Mohegan is looking to get their trophy back, so it is incumbent upon EB to beat them at all costs,” said Greg Angelini, director of Electrical Design and Engineer-ing. He and Stan Gwudz, director of Opera-tions, are co-chairing this year’s Heart Walk.
Fund-raising for the American Heart Association began with the “Wear Red for Women Campaign” at the beginning of Feb-ruary, also designated Heart Healthy Month.

Participants sold red dress pins, red hearts and red bracelets at $5 each. Mid-month, despite a snow storm that set the bake sale back a day, the bakers prevailed and soon their cookies were sold with 50 cookbooks containing their recipes, and $2,000 was added to the donation box.
Each baker donated four dozen cookies for every recipe. Laurie Brodhead (D604) is Davis’ bake sale organizing partner and top baker for the event. “Laurie will bake extra if we have last-minute cancellations. She is amazing. She baked five different cookies for this event, which means 240 cookies!” said Davis.
The bakers logged many hours in the kitchen and donated the ingredients. Ange-lini said he is always impressed with the volunteer effort. “Electric Boat employees are often touched by heart disease, whether it is a co-worker or a family member. It is fantastic to see the employees rally and work together to provide the Heart Association funds to combat heart disease,” he said.
Since Davis also believes prizes are big motivators, cookie buyers were given free beads at the Mardi Gras Bake Sale. In keep-ing with the theme, the cookie tables in New London and Groton were festooned with bright purple, green and gold beads and pic-tures of party masks showcasing macaroon, mask, jester, and other cookies.
There were also prizes for participants. Diane Juhnevicz (D491) won an Alex & Ani bracelet for selling the most pins. A new contest this year called for decorating a red dress pin less than three-quarters of an inch tall and five-eighths of an inch wide. More than 80 pins were submitted and judged by a member of the New London Art Committee. Gift certificate prizes were donated by the Heart Association and first place was won by Meg Wright (D330), Karen Roderick (D459) second, and Kristen Kvist (D403) third.
Davis also coordinated a used book sale on the vendor tables in New London. She collects donated hardcovers, paperbacks, magazines and DVDs all year that net $1,500.
February’s fund-raising drive culminated
with the Giant Photo Session. This year Davis and EB Photographer Bob Gallo visited seven company sites for pictures of employees wearing red tops or outfits.
“All seven sites, three cafeterias, and five health departments were involved and engaged,” said Davis. “It was a very suc-cessful campaign.”

E lectric Boat Quonset Point employee John Alves had the honor of welding Colorado Ship
Sponsor Annie Mabus’ initials onto a steel plate. The plate will be installed in the submarine at a later date and forever be a part of the ship.
Alves joined the Quonset Point facility in 1982 and after just six months qualified as a multi-trade X-ray welder.
Since then, he has worked on Ohio-class, Los Angeles-class, Seawolf-class and Virginia-class submarines. Altogether, he has contributed to the construction of more than 50 submarines.
Over the last five years, Alves’ welding accep-tance rate has been 99.95 percent, making him one of the company’s most exceptional welders.
He lives in East Providence, R.I., with his wife, Rose, and has two grown children, Cathy and Richard, and a granddaughter, Adreana.

Electric Boat recently acquired an antique copper plate engraved with an illustration of an S-Class submarine created by an EB employee almost a century ago.
Fred Holzhauser, a coppersmith whose work spanned around the world, created the 11-inch brass plate after working at EB.
The plate is engraved with an illustration of the USS S-47, an S-Class submarine, which was launched in 1924 and served seven war patrols during WWII before being decommissioned in 1945.
Fred Holzhauser’s career began as an apprentice at the age of 14, and lasted until his retirement at age 94. In 1910, he was employed in the construction of the RMS Titanic in Belfast, Ireland, and later moved to Central America to help build the Panama Canal. He spent 1923 and 1924 working for Electric Boat, and in 1976 he was commissioned to build a copper weathervane for the Delaware statehouse as part of the U.S. bicentennial celebration, which he completed at the age of 88.
In a letter to President Jeff Geiger, Mr. Holzhauzer’s son Scott offered the plate to EB, believing that it would be better belong with a company that valued a “sense of its own history” rather than in his home.
ARTIFACT BY EB AND TITANIC COPPERSMITH PUT ON DISPLAY IN GROTON
THE PLATE IS NOW ON DISPLAY IN THE MODEL ROOM IN BUILDING 88.
