Radm. Meyer Receives

New Assignment

Rear Adm. Wayne E. Meyer,

USN, the Navy's "Dean of Project

Managers," was reassigned re- cently within the Naval Sea Sys- tems Command as Deputy Com- mander for Weapons and Combat

Systems. He relieved Rear Adm.

Dempster M. Jackson, who re- tired from the U.S. Navy.

Admiral Meyer previously served as project manager, AEGIS

Shipbuilding. He held that posi- tion from the inception of the

AEGIS project in 1970, to the readiness-for-war of the first AE-

GIS ship, USS Ticonderoga (CG 47), in 1983. Significantly, this guided-missile cruiser was chris- tened, commissioned, and de- ployed exactly on the schedule, and within the budget, established six years ago. Her transition from the Ingalls Shipbuilding yard,

Pascagoula, Miss., to deployment was accomplished in the remarka- bly short time of nine months with highly successful performance at each milestone.
