*** FAST 2011conference is coming soon, will address “speed on the water”

2011 International Conference on Fast Sea Transportation will be in Hawaii

By Edward Lundquist

FAST 2011 is the 11^th International Conference on Fast Sea Transportation. Started in Trondheim, Norway in 1991, FAST conferences take place every two years and are the world’s leading conferences addressing fast sea transportation issues. Recent FAST conferences were held in Athens, Greece (2009), Shanghai, China (2007), and St. Petersburg, Russia (2005).

According to Todd Peltzer, director of programs for Honolulu-based Navatek, FAST 2011 will be held in Honolulu, Hawaii, from September 26 to 29, 2011, at the Regency Ballroom Convention Center of the Hyatt Regency Waikiki hotel. Registration for the conference is available through the FAST website: http://www.FAST2011.com/registration.htm.

“We’ve negotiated special room rates at the Hyatt for conference attendees, which can be booked through the conference website (click on the “Accommodations” link), or by contacting the hotel directly and referring to ‘FAST 2011 Conference,’” Peltzer says.

The conference brings together specialists from all over the world in all fields of naval architecture and marine engineering, including hydrodynamics, structures, ship design, propulsion, and safety to present and discuss the current state of the art, the most recent research results and technologies, trends and future needs and opportunities that relate to fast ships.

According to Peltzer, maritime professionals—scientists, engineers, and operators—interested in these topics will benefit from attending FAST 2011. “You won’t find another conference that brings together such a diverse spectrum of disciplines addressing a common theme—speed on the water!”

The focus of the conference program is clearly technical in nature, but Peltzer says you don’t have to be a PhD to get a lot out of the conference.

The technical program at FAST 2011 will cover a broad range of topics related to high-speed craft of all types, including new fast ship concepts and hull form designs; metallic and composite materials; structural response (slamming, whipping, impact, fatigue); structural health monitoring systems and repair technologies; propulsion and cavitation; survivability; maneuvering and control; and many other related topics. “We have papers that run the gamut from purely theoretical to practical applications. Some of the topic areas include: ACV and SES technologies; energy efficiency; structural design; materials; hydrodynamics; numerical analysis; optimization; and innovative craft concepts,” Peltzer says.

FAST 2011 is supported by the American Society of Naval Engineers. Visit http://www.fast2011.com/.

*** Gates Picks Greenert as Naval Operations Chief

By Donna Miles
American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON, June 16, 2011 – Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates announced today that he has recommended Navy Adm. Jonathan W. Greenert, vice chief of naval operations, to succeed the retiring Navy Adm. Gary Roughead as the next chief of naval operations.

Gates said he made the recommendation to President Barack Obama based on Greenert's solid portfolio that includes both significant personnel programs and budget responsibilities.

Navy Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Greenert is “an exceptional officer, and if confirmed, will be, I believe, an exceptional CNO.”

“He has wonderful operational experience, fleet experience, he's terrific with people and he has extensive experience in the money world, which is now facing all of us,” Mullen said. “So I strongly concur with the secretary's recommendation.”

Greenert's career as a submariner includes assignments aboard the USS Flying Fish, USS Tautog, Submarine NR-1 and USS Michigan and as commander of USS Honolulu. He also served as commander of Submarine Squadron 11, U.S. Naval Forces Mariana, U.S. 7th Fleet in the Pacific and U.S. Fleet Forces Command before he become the vice CNO.

Gates praised Roughead, who will retire this fall, for four decades of service and leadership at the helm of the Navy for the past four years.

“I have very much enjoyed working with Gary and have greatly valued his counsel and wisdom on both Navy issues and broader strategic issues,” he said.

*** From Heather Murphy:

I'd been to visit my little nephews, my brother and his beautiful wife in the greater San Diego area. One of our favorite activities is to visit the tide pools at Point Loma (San Diego, CA). To get to Point Loma, you have to pass a few military establishments and the most solemn and beautiful of burial places — Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery. It overlooks sea, land, military installations and, inasmuch as burial ground can be beautiful…it is.

As we left the tide pools, crews were getting Fort Rosecrans ready for Memorial Day services. With exhausted kids and adults on board, I made my brother stop his vehicle so I could take the attached photo.

When I returned to Arizona and uploaded the image, I was stunned to see this almost accidental image. It is about the real meaning of Memorial Day. I wouldn't trade those days with my family but I didn't really honor and pay tribute. By sharing this photo, I hope to do so. May it serve as a poignant reminder that Memorial Day is not about car sales, furniture sales, clothing bargains, pool parties and barbecues. It's about remembering sacrifices by the anonymous men and women who served in defense of our freedom. We may never know them, their stories or be able to thank their loved ones personally but we can do this…we can remember and honor their lives on Memorial Day.

Thanks and appreciation to all who served and all who value their service.

Heather
