Fleet Maintenance In The 21st Century

October 22-23, 1991, Virginia Beach, Virginia

A joint symposium called "Fleet

Maintenance in the 21st Century," to be co-sponsored by the Tidewater

Section of the American Society of

Naval Engineers (ASNE) and the

Commander in Chief, U.S. Atlantic

Fleet, will be held October 22-23, 1991 in the Pavilion Convention

Center in Virginia Beach, Va.

Nationally prominent speakers from the military and government will address current issues during luncheons.

A panel of flag/executive level experts from the fleet and private industry will discuss critical avia- tion, surface and submarine main- tenance concerns during TYCOM/ industry panel presentations. Over 45 technical papers will be presented by leading government officials, maritime commercial industry ex- ecutives, professionals and academians regarding fleet mainte- nance management, engineering, logistics and training within avia- tion, surface and submarine com- munities. Specifically, among the topics that will be presented are "Maintenance Strategies," "Propul- sion Plant Condition Assessment," "Vibration Monitoring: Surface

Ships," "Overhaul Practices," "Qual- ity Supply Support, SSN 688 Class," and "New Developments in Butter- fly Valves."

The quality and variety of exhib- its have always been a primary con- tribution to the success of ASNE's maintenance symposiums. The ex- hibition area will bring together rep- resentatives from combat systems, test and evaluations, aviation sup- port systems, submarines, logistics and support and contracts, as well as surface ships' maintenance.

The symposium will kick-off at 9 a.m. on October 22 with Adm. Paul

D. Miller, Commander-in-Chief,

U.S. Atlantic Fleet, in Pavilion Au- ditorium A as the keynote speaker.

In Auditorium A, three sessions will center around "Maintenance Strat- egies."

In the Pavilion Room B, "Elec- tronics Testing" will be the subject of three presentations, while in Pa- vilion Room C and Pavilion Room D, "Overhaul Practices" and "Research/

Development I" will be the main topics, respectively. The four ses- sions will be held in parallel and followed by Admiral Boorda's lun- cheon speech in the Pavilion Center at noon.

Early Spill Reponse

System Implemented

A comprehensive maritime indus- try earlv response svstem in the protection of our marine environ- ment," said Hal Schuyler, chair- man of the Washington State Mari- time Commission. "We have de- signed our response system to meet the most stringent mobilization re- quirements."

Nine newlv built spill response awarded to Foss Environmental

Services, Seattle, to serve as the commission's primary oil spill cleanup ^contractor in the Puget

Sound, Grays Harbor and Willapa

Bay areas. Foss Environmental was the lowest of three qualified bid- ders. erators do not have their own cleanup contractors or are not members of a

Washington cleanup cooperative.

The 32-foot spill response vessels are capable of responding to a ma- rine cargo or fuel oil spill at a speed of 35 knots. Each vessel carries 1.000 feet of oil containment boom.
