13th Los Angeles Class Submarine,

SSN-718 "Honolulu/ To Navy

U.S. Navy To Utilize Ship Analytics

Simulator For Shiphandling Training

The submarine Honolulu (SSN- 718) became the 13th Los Angeles class attack submarine delivered re- cently to the Navy by Newport

News Shipbuilding. The sub is the 37th the Virginia shipyard has built for the Navy.

The Honolulu will officially enter the fleet early this month when it is commissioned at the Norfolk Naval

Station. The ship's keel was laid

November 1981 at Newport News.

The shipyard launched the sub- marine September 24, 1983 when it was christened by Joan B. Clark, wife of the former national security advisor to President Reagan. Mrs.

Clark was the principal speaker at the launching.

Los Angeles class submarines are 360 feet long, and have a beam of 33 feet and a submerged displacement of 6,900 tons. They accommodate 12 officers and 115 enlisted men. New- port News Shipbuilding currently is building eight other attack subma- rines, along with three Nimitz class aircraft carriers. The Ship Analytics $6-million ship simulation system located at the Maritime Training & Research Center, Toledo, Ohio.

Ship Analytics of North Stoning- ton, Conn., has announced receipt of a three-year U.S. Navy contract for the training of senior officers at the Maritime Training and Re- search Center (MTRC) in Toledo,

Ohio.

For seven weeks each year, Navy personnel will take part in a com- prehensive, scientifically structured training program developed to en- hance shiphandling skills on the $6- million simulator that was designed, built, and operated for the MRTC (MEBA/AM, District 2) by Ship

Analytics.

Through courses specifically tai- lored by the firm to meet Navy requirements, Naval personnel will train on bridge and radar simula- tors, with computer-assisted class- room sessions. These sessions allow trainees to observe and analyze the progress of others, while examining alternative approaches to maneu- vering their vessel, under a variety of environmental conditions.

Ship Analytics is a world leader in the design of real-time computer graphics software. It provides major systems in technologies ranging from marine simulation to military tactics. It also markets a variety of graphics presentation software to business.

The keyboard quickly selects any of 192 ITU international channels or 44 user- programmed "memorized" stations, or calling/safety frequency (2182 kHz) with built-in alarm signal.

Exclusive SeaWatch scanning continuously monitors up to 10 selected stations. Raytheon's remote antenna coupler automatically fine tunes during transmission; can be controlled by the keyboard for broken- antenna emergency transmissions.

For vessels on the high seas, coastal or inland-and for shore stations-
