~ John Stuart Mills
Welcome to the latest edition of the number one Defense Career Opportunities Newsletter, “DEFCON-1,” a networking newsletter featuring job opportunities and career advice for those who are part of the global defense, aerospace, maritime, marine technology and security industry.
I’m on travel this week, which explains why the newsletter is a little shorter than usual.
When you learn about a job opportunity in the defense sector, such as a position that comes open with your company, you send me the title, organization, location, and a brief description; link; or contact information, and I’ll share. This is a cooperative network. That means everyone’s participation is required to provide job opportunities to share.
Help the network grow. Sign up a friend. They can join for free simply by sending a blank email to DCO-subscribe@topica.com.
Transitioning, or changing your e-mail address? Don't forget to change your DEFCON – 1 subscription. To unsubscribe, send a blank e-mail from the old account to DCO-unsubscribe@topica.com. Then a blank e-mail from your new account to DCO-subscribe@topica.com. I cannot do this for you.
I never give out, rent, or sell my list, and neither does Topica.

*** What role do OPVs have to play in the current maritime security
domain?
OFFSHORE PATROL VESSELS 2008
September 29 – 2 October, 2008
Cotone Congressi Genova, Genoa, Italy
www.offshorepatrolvessels.com
Dear Captain Lundquist,
Naval budgets continue to constrict. Maritime security feeds further
more into plans for preserving national security. For many, the answer
lies in increasing hull numbers by building smaller ships. The questions
remain though:
– Do OPVs have any useful role to play inactual combat conditions?
– What is the optimum balance between capability and cost for an OPV?
– What is the best combination of deployable assets for OPVs?
The 3rd annual OPV conference in Genoa, 29th September – 2nd October
2008 will seek to help you answer these questions with your global
peers.
The full conference agenda is now available for download at

2.) Executive Director, Nauticus Museum, City of Norfolk, Norfolk, VA
The Nauticus visitor experience includes the approximately 120,000 square foot Nauticus Museum; the Battleship Wisconsin, which is 887 feet, 3 inches long; and the Half Moone Cruise and Celebration Center, which has approximately 80,000 square feet of space. The Nauticus Museum presents a variety of interactive exhibits that allow visitors to peer through a battlescope, learn the principles of ship design, play the role of a meteorologist, and touch a shark. Through exhibits created by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which maintains an office within the Nauticus Museum, visitors can engage in hands-on exhibits about coastal and ocean stewardship and view real-time information pertinent to the National Ocean Service. Also housed within the Nauticus Museum isthe Hampton Roads Naval Museum, which tells the region’s naval history through photographs and artifacts.
The Battleship Wisconsin is berthed adjacent to the Nauticus Museum. The Wisconsin
is one of the largest – and last – battleships ever built by the U.S. Navy.
Visitors can take a self-guided tour of the main deck and learn more about the ship through exhibits, films, artifacts, and oral histories presented in the Nauticus Museum. The Navy is currently in the process of transferring stewardship of the Battleship Wisconsin to the City of Norfolk.
Also situated on the Nauticus site is the Half Moone Cruise and Celebration Center,
which opened in April 2007. The Half Moone Cruise and Celebration Center is a
working cruise terminal, as well as Norfolk’s most magnificent venue for special
events. Cruise lines set sail from Norfolk to Bermuda, the Caribbean, and New
England throughout the year.
Nauticus has a talented staff of 51 full-time employees that manage and operate the
Nauticus Museum, Battleship Wisconsin, and Half Moone Cruise and Celebration
Center. An organization chart can be found online at www.ralphandersen.com.
All of these individuals are employees of the City. The Nauticus Board of Directors
currently has 15 members, with plans to expand to 28 over the next five years.
The annual operating budget of Nauticus is approximately $6 million.
As described above, Nauticus is currently a department of the City of Norfolk and
aspires to become a private non-profit entity. The plans for this transition have
been set forth in the Strategic Plan. As a private non-profit entity under the mantle
of the Board, Nauticus would operate, develop, and sustain the programs, exhibits,
collections, and staff of the Nauticus Museum, Battleship Wisconsin, and Half
Moone Cruise and Celebration Center. The City would continue to own, insure,
and maintain the site and the facilities. Also, the City will continue to provide funds
to help with the management and operations of the City-owned facilities.
The Nauticus Strategic Plan also calls for substantial enhancement of the visitor
experience. This will include: extending the public’s access to the Battleship Wisconsin
through new exhibits in the interior of the ship; developing an exciting plan
for the re-interpretation of the Nauticus Museum’s exhibit galleries; making facility
improvements; and expanding education programs. To accomplish these goals,
Nauticus plans to raise $25 million in private funds through a capital campaign.
w w w . N o r f o l k . g o v.
The Position
The City of Norfolk is seeking a well-qualified and dynamic individual to lead
Nauticus during an important stage of organizational development. Located on
Norfolk’s downtown waterfront, the Nauticus site is home to the Nauticus Museum,
the Battleship Wisconsin, and the Half Moon Cruise and Celebration Center. In
March 2007, Nauticus adopted an ambitious Strategic Plan that sets the course
for a transition from being a City department to a private, non-profit entity. As a
first step in this transition, the organization has established a Board of Directors
comprised of Norfolk’s top business and community leaders, including the Mayor
of Norfolk.
The Executive Director will work closely with the City Manager and Board of
Directors to foster an effective public-private partnership and further the mission
of Nauticus. He or She will be responsible for enhancing the Nauticus Museum
and Battleship Wisconsin visitor experience, overseeing the operation of the Half
Moone Cruise and Celebration Center, working with the Board of Directors to
undertake a major capital campaign, providing leadership and direction to the
staff, and managing community and governmental relationships.
As a department of the City, the Executive Director reports to the City Manager.
Once transitioned to a non-profit entity, the Executive Director will be responsible
to the Board of Directors. The Executive Director has responsibility for the operation
of the Nauticus Museum, Battleship Wisconsin, and Half Moone Cruise and
Celebration Center. Responsibilities include:
¾¾Providing leadership and vision to shape the development and implementation
of new exhibits that will enhance the Nauticus Museum and Battleship
Wisconsin visitor experience;
¾¾Guiding the organization and future of Nauticus, working with the Board and
City to ensure a collaborative relationship between the City of Norfolk and
the Board of Directors;
¾¾Playing a vital role in the $25 million capital campaign with the Board by
developing a donor base, cultivating relationships, and performing support
work needed for completing major tasks; creatively developing other means
of contributed support from federal, state, and local sources; enhancing
earned income opportunities;
¾¾Managing the City’s stewardship of the Battleship Wisconsin, including shortterm
and long-term maintenance and operations of this historic Navy icon;
¾¾Providing oversight of the City’s cruise ship business at the Half Moone
Cruise and Celebration Center, which includes approximately 30 homeport
and stopover calls each year carrying more than 100,000+ passengers;
¾¾Ensuring effective implementation of the Strategic Plan; connecting staff
and Board roles to the vision, mission, and goals of the organization; driving
results and using established metrics of success;
