ASNE Day '94

Stealth Ship Technical Details To Be Released

For First Time At ASNE Conference

ASNE Day will be held at the

Sheraton Washington Hotel in

Washington, D.C. on April 27-29, 1994. The theme for this year's

ASNE Day is "Naval Engineering — The Technical Challenge Con- tinues," and much of what the show has to offer will reflect that theme — dealing with today's cutting edge developments and tomorrow's chal- lenges in the marine engineering field.

According to Margaret New of

ASNE, attendees with an interest in high-tech are in for something special. "They'll find out the most current technical information out there today — for instance, one pa- per is going to be on the Stealth ship.

This is the first time the inside tech- nical information on the project is going to be released from security restrictions."

The show has also grown since last year; Ms. New expects even more than last year's estimated 3,000 attendees.

The technical theme will be present from the start, beginning with the keynote address by ASNE

President George P. Nanos. Then the theme will be broadened as the show moves on to the paper presen- tations. There will be 23 papers over two of the three show days, covering a wide variety of technical subjects dedicated to the present and future of marine engineering.

Rooted in the present are such pre- sentations as Live Fire Test and

Evaluation for Ships; The PCF: A

Patrol Craft Standard; An Assess- ment of Current Warship Damaged

Stability Criteria-, The Maintenance

Requirements System: Risk-Based

Resource Programming at Work; and

Quality Management and Ship- board Maintenance.

Most of the sessions deal with naval engineering's future. Among them are Use of Virtual Environ- ments in the Design of Ships; Navy

Force Planning for the 21st Cen- tury; FF-21: A Fast Frigate for the 21st Century; Naval Special War- fare Future Concepts - The Case for

Operational Mobility; and Achieve- ments with Advanced Craft. In ad- dition, there will be a session on an airborne passive/active electro-op- tic sensor system for theater ballis- tic missile defense, and another on a conceptual design for a Convertible

Heavy Lift (CHL) ship.

The sessions also take time to remember the past: Session 2A, mod- erated by the USCG's Capt. Paul

Hagstrom, includes a paper called

A Truly Allied Undertaking: The

Progeny of Britain's Empire Lib- erty, 1931 - 1943.

Other features of ASNE Day deal with the future of marine engineer- ing in terms of who will become the marine engineering professionals of the future. Session 3C promises to be an extremely useful experience for young marine professionals, de-
