Hampton Roads SNAME Discusses

Improving Producibility Of American

Fast Attack Submarines

At a recent dinner meeting of the

Hampton Roads Section of The So- ciety of Naval Architects and Ma- rine Engineers, Lt. Comdr. Blaine

R. Brucker presented a talk on "Seawolf Producibility" to members and guests gathered at Fisherman's

Wharf in Hampton, Va.

Commander Brucker, USN, currently serves as Producibility

Manager of PMS350, the Seawolf

Advanced Submarine Acquisition

Program Office at NavSea. In this position, he is responsible for coor- dinating the deliverable product of the design yards participating in the detail design of the Seawolf.

The U.S. Navy's Seawolf Ad- vanced Submarine Program is vital- ly interested in improving the pro- ducibility of the next generation of

American attack submarines. This program is an important milestone on the road to modernization of the shipbuilding industry through the infusion of new technology. The

Seawolf Program has accepted the role of providing leadership in the drive to produce affordable subma- rines into the 21st century. Newport

News Shipbuilding, Electric Boat

Division, and NavSea have teamed to improve the efficiency of con- struction through new technology.

The Seawolf design approach in- cludes putting forth a major effort to present a design that supports the implementation of technology and captures the necessary attri- butes for efficient construction of this new class of attack submarine.

Commander Brucker provided an overview of these challenges in the implementation of a producibility program for the next class of fast attack submarines.

TIME FOR A SWITCH

After20,000 cycles, when most mechanical switches are through, ELDEC solid-state switches are just beginning.

In fact, lifespans of over one million cycles are typical. But that kind of reliability is no good if the electronics can't survive the marine environment.

ELDEC non-contacting switches can stand up to the sea. • Encased in non-corroding, stainless steel. • EMI hardened to exceed MIL STD 461B, Class A4. • Operating range from -30° to +65°C. • Meets MIL STD 901C, Grade A,

Class 1 for shock.

Two wire AC and three wire DC switches for direct mechanical replacement.

The price is right.

Purchase price is competitive with the best quality mechanical switches.

And with less maintenance and replace- ments, life cycle cost savings are unsurpassed.

Once you compare, you'll agree, it's time for a switch.
