Austal Wins Contract for<br />
Second U.S. Navy Ship<br />
Austal USA is proud to announce that the company<br />
has been awarded the contract to supply<br />
a Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) to the U.S. Navy.<br />
The fast, highly maneuverable vessel is a key element<br />
of the Navy’s plan to address asymmetrical<br />
threats and will play a crucial role in both the defense of our homeland and<br />
the protection of our forces and allies overseas.<br />
This will be the second LCS ship contracted to the prime contractor Bath Iron<br />
Works, a General Dynamics (GD) company, and GD teammate Austal USA.<br />
The Navy’s first LCS, the 127-meter INDEPENDENCE, is in the final stages<br />
of construction at Austal’s shipyard in Mobile. The second LCS is named<br />
CORONADO in honor of the patriotic citizens of Coronado, Calif., home to<br />
Naval Air Station North Island and Naval Amphibious Base.<br />
The CORONADO will be similar to the INDEPENDENCE featuring an innovative,<br />
high-speed trimaran hull. The 419-foot surface combatant ship is<br />
designed to defeat littoral threats and provide access and dominance in<br />
coastal waters for missions such as mine warfare, anti-submarine warfare<br />
and surface warfare.<br />
With the U.S. Navy committed to a 55-vessel LCS program, which is part of<br />
its 313-ship fleet, winning this contract demonstrates a strong vote of confidence<br />
for the Austal-designed, high-speed aluminum trimaran seaframe.<br />
Austal USA President and Chief Operating Officer Joe Rella commented,<br />
“The award of this follow-on contract for the LCS program is a testimony<br />
to the commitment by the Navy to this shipbuilding program and further<br />

confirms their confidence in Austal as a premier shipbuilder.<br />
These are exciting times for Austal, the city of Mobile and the<br />
state of <strong>Alabama</strong>.”<br />
The announcement follows Austal’s recent selection as<br />
prime contractor for the U.S. Navy’s Joint High Speed Vessel<br />
(JHSV) program, potentially valued at more than $1.6 billion.<br />
The General Dynamics LCS Team platform utilizes Austal’s<br />
proven, high-speed trimaran hull-form to provide enhanced<br />
seakeeping, low resistance, superior aviation facilities and<br />
large payload volume capacity.<br />
Construction of Austal’s second LCS will commence immediately<br />
at its shipyard in Mobile, where work is also well<br />
underway on the first phase of a new state-of-the-art Module<br />
Manufacturing Facility (MMF). The facility will allow quicker<br />
and more cost-effective construction of the ship components,<br />
or modules, which will then be transported to the<br />
existing assembly bays along the waterfront for erection and<br />
launch. Once completed, the 748,000-square-foot MMF<br />
(more than 17 acres under roof), will allow the delivery of up<br />
to five JHSV or LCS platforms per year.<br />
When asked how this facility will improve Austal USA’s product<br />
output, Rella explained, “This state-of-the-art facility was<br />
designed to greatly improve the efficiency and effectiveness<br />
of our production processes, thereby increasing our throughput.<br />
This, in turn, allows us to offer a greater volume of vessels<br />
to our clients at increasingly competitive prices.”<br />
As a result of the LCS award and ongoing JHSV program, the<br />
company’s USA workforce will grow to more than 1,300 by the<br />
time full production of the LCS begins next year. The CORO-<br />
NADO is scheduled for delivery to the Navy in May 2012.<br />

Austal Continues<br />
INDEPENDENCE<br />
Testing<br />
The INDEPENDENCE is moored at Austal USA, Mobile, Ala., and will complete outfitting, test<br />
and system activation activities in preparation for upcoming sea trials.<br />
<strong>Port</strong> <strong>Authority</strong> Welcomes<br />
Captain Terry Gilbreath<br />
as New Harbor Master<br />
Capt. Terry Gilbreath is taking his place as the harbor master<br />
at the <strong>Port</strong> of Mobile. He replaces Capt. Dave Carey, who<br />
retired in January <strong>2009</strong> after more than 18 years of service.<br />
Mobile is a familiar surrounding for Gilbreath. In his more than<br />
25-year career with the United <strong>State</strong>s Coast Guard, he was<br />
twice stationed in the <strong>Port</strong> City.<br />
With his background as a marine safety expert and having<br />
served as Captain of the <strong>Port</strong> in two different ports, Gilbreath<br />
brings a wealth of experience to the position of harbor master.<br />
However, he’s quick to note that he has big shoes to fill.<br />
Austal USA has successfully completed main engine light<br />
off of the two propulsion diesel engines and the two gas<br />
turbine engines on the INDEPENDENCE. The light off of<br />
the main engines follows the fuel load and the testing of all<br />
four generators.<br />
The diesels are considered the highest power high-speed<br />
diesel engines in the world. Austal has installed a total of<br />
twenty-four MTU 8000 Series diesel engines on six Austal<br />
vessels over the past four years.<br />
The GE LM2500 gas turbines each are the standard workhorse<br />
engines installed in almost all the U.S. Navy surface<br />
combatant ships. More than 750 of these gas turbines power<br />
the Navy’s fleet of surface combatants. The LM2500 marine<br />
gas turbine is GE’s most widely applied gas turbine. It powers<br />
more than 400 ships in 30 world navies, fast ferries, coast<br />
guard cutters, supply ships and cruise ships. No stranger to<br />
these engines, Austal installed them in a fast vehicle ferry<br />
operating in Denmark.<br />
INDEPENDENCE will be moored alongside the Austal USA<br />
facility while the activation and testing of combat and other<br />
onboard systems continues. Sea trials are expected to commence<br />
this summer with delivery planned for later in the year.<br />
In reaction to the success of this important event leading up<br />
to LCS 2 sea trials, Joe Rella, president and COO of Austal<br />
USA commented, “Austal USA continues to establish its<br />
rightful place as one of the world’s premium shipbuilders. The<br />
successful achievement of this major milestone is another example<br />
of Austal’s commitment to the LCS program’s goal of<br />
completing sea trials and delivering the LCS 2 to the Navy as<br />
quickly as possible.”<br />
“Capt. Carey has 18 years of knowledge of this port,” Gilbreath<br />
said. “I’ve got to come up to speed on everything he<br />
knows. I’m learning the port personnel, partners and the people<br />
at the docks. It’s a challenge to absorb as much information<br />
as possible.”<br />
One of the chief responsibilities in his new role as harbor<br />
master is a general awareness of what is taking place at the<br />
<strong>Port</strong> of Mobile. This includes incoming and outgoing ship<br />
traffic, which vessel is at what dock, channel depth and pier<br />
facing conditions, and the overall condition of the port’s facilities.<br />
Gilbreath also communicates working port efforts to the<br />
U.S. Coast Guard and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, as<br />
well as other state and federal agencies. These collaborative<br />
efforts allow for more efficient services and exchanges<br />
of information.<br />
The <strong>Port</strong> of Mobile’s two contract harbor pilots also report<br />
to the harbor master on the movement of vessels around the<br />
harbor. Additionally, he works closely with <strong>Alabama</strong> <strong>State</strong><br />
<strong>Port</strong> <strong>Authority</strong> operations staff to coordinate traffic through<br />
the public terminals.<br />
Gilbreath brings a broad range of experience to his new role at<br />
the <strong>Port</strong> of Mobile. He served as Captain of the <strong>Port</strong> in Louisville,<br />
Ky., regulating primarily the inland “brown water” industry.<br />
He held the same position in Morgan City, La., regulating the<br />
coastal oil supply and tanker industry. With that mix, he feels<br />
he offers inland, offshore and deep draft experience, as well as<br />
a strong knowledge of the regulatory side of the industry. He<br />
served as the officer in charge of marine inspection and the<br />
federal maritime security coordinator in both locations.<br />
New Harbor Master Terry Gilbreath<br />
Early in his Coast Guard career, Gilbreath served with the<br />
Chief Marine Safety Strategic Planning Division at the Coast<br />
Guard Headquarters in Washington, D.C. During that time,<br />
he developed and maintained the Marine Safety Strategic<br />
Business Plan, which was selected as a pilot project for the<br />
Government Performance and Results Act for measurement.<br />
In addition to his strong regulatory background as a marine<br />
safety expert, Gilbreath served four years afloat on two different<br />
Coast Guard cutters focusing his efforts on law enforcement,<br />
migrant interdiction, and search and rescue. His ships<br />
were based in Gulfport, Miss., and Miami Beach, Fla., with<br />
extensive operational experience in the Gulf of Mexico and<br />
Caribbean Sea.<br />
The <strong>Port</strong> of Mobile and the maritime industry has changed<br />
a great deal since the last time Gilbreath was stationed in<br />
Mobile during his Coast Guard tour from 1999 to 2002. Gilbreath<br />
served as acting Captain of the <strong>Port</strong> in Mobile during<br />
the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The events of 9/11 provided<br />
Gilbreath with insight and experience in Incident Command<br />
structures, which provides for coordinated communications<br />
and emergency response amongst all jurisdictional agencies<br />
during a security or emergency incident. These insights will<br />
prove invaluable as the harbor master serves on the <strong>Port</strong> of<br />
Mobile’s Area Maritime Security Committee and as one of the<br />
<strong>Authority</strong>’s Facility Security Officers.<br />

Named <strong>2009</strong> <strong>Alabama</strong> Medium Manufacturer of the Year<br />
Terry Gilbreath will be responsible for keeping operations smooth throughout the <strong>Port</strong> of Mobile.<br />
Security in both the <strong>Port</strong> of Mobile’s private and public terminals<br />
is stronger now, he said, due to the industry’s implementation<br />
of the Maritime Transportation Safety Act. The <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Authority</strong><br />
has installed security cameras, fencing, beefed up its<br />
<strong>Port</strong> Police force and implemented other security measures<br />
as part of its facility security plan. Another security change<br />
was the application of TWIC, or Transportation Worker Identification<br />
Credential, which was required for unescorted access<br />
to port facilities starting in December 2008.<br />
“There have been very evident changes in port security, but<br />
there’s also been very obvious growth since 2002,” Gilbreath<br />
said. When he was last in Mobile, construction on the new<br />
Mobile Container Terminal had not even started, McDuffie<br />
was handling about half the coal volumes than it handles today,<br />
and Austal was not building Littoral Combat Ships. “The<br />
<strong>Authority</strong> has seen new facilities, industries and services roll<br />
into <strong>Port</strong> City,” he said.<br />
Gilbreath explained. “Mobile still has areas to develop. And it will<br />
continue to grow. It’s one of the reasons I’m happy to be here.”<br />
One of the defining characteristics of Mobile is its location on<br />
the central Gulf Coast and, by extension, the effect of hurricanes<br />
on the shipping industry, oil transportation and offshore<br />
oil facilities.<br />
“Many industry watchers track how well we respond and get<br />
ships moving again, whether it’s oil shipments for our area<br />
gasoline refineries, coal shipments for our utilities or just other<br />
deep-draft vessels moving into the harbor that carry vital goods for<br />
area and regional manufacturers and retailers,” said Gilbreath.<br />
“Getting the port up and running and restoring channel use<br />
for ships is critical after storm events. Many consumers in our<br />
market rely on these shipments to support the basic necessities<br />
of life” he said.<br />
Gilbreath was in New Orleans with the Coast Guard for Hurricanes<br />
Katrina and Rita in 2005, making him aware of how<br />
the Coast Guard responds to hurricanes and what to expect<br />
as the port readies for storms. He was already on staff with<br />
the <strong>Alabama</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Authority</strong> for the 2008 hurricane season,<br />
which included impacts from storms Gustav and Ike. Gilbreath<br />
noted the port still had to fully prepare as if Mobile was<br />
in the direct path of the storms. The storm season preparation<br />
and operations plan, which are continuously updated by<br />
<strong>Port</strong> <strong>Authority</strong> management, provide the framework for storm<br />
preparation and post-storm recovery efforts. While the 2008<br />
storms inflicted minimal damage, both storms delivered high<br />
tide, an increased number of oil field supply vessels seeking<br />
refuge on Mobile River, and resulted in channel restrictions<br />
while missing aids to navigation were restored. “Storm season<br />
requires a high level of planning, communications and<br />
coordination amongst many players,” said Gilbreath. The harbor<br />
master, along with <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Authority</strong> management, interface<br />
daily with the Coast Guard, the Army Corps of Engineers and<br />
NOAA, as well as industry groups through phone calls and<br />
e-communications. “From what I see, the level of communications<br />
and coordination throughout the port results is our ability<br />
to quickly return to operations,” he said.<br />
Gilbreath is a graduate of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy<br />
with a bachelor’s degree in chemistry. He also holds a master’s<br />
degree in physics from University of Connecticut.<br />
“My family and I really love the area and have always considered<br />
it home,” Gilbreath said. “I’m honored to have been<br />
selected for this position.”<br />

ThyssenKrupp<br />
Employees Lost in Crash<br />
Erich Walter Heine, member of the Executive Board of ThyssenKrupp<br />
Steel AG (TK) and responsible for major projects in<br />
Brazil and the USA, and Claus-Peter Hellhammer, an employee<br />
of ThyssenKrupp Steel in Duisburg, lost their lives <strong>June</strong> 1<br />
when Air France flight 447 crashed into the Atlantic.<br />
A statement from the company extended deepest sympathies<br />
to the families of both men. Heine was responsible for the construction<br />
of the ThyssenKrupp mill in Calvert, Ala., and another<br />
plant in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Raw steel from the plant in Brazil<br />
will eventually come through the <strong>Port</strong>’s Pinto Island Terminal<br />
headed for the Calvert mill for final processing. Heine toured<br />
the terminal in February along with port officials and <strong>Alabama</strong><br />
Gov. Bob Riley to get an update on construction progress.<br />
<strong>Port</strong> <strong>Authority</strong> Director and CEO Jimmy Lyons offered condolences<br />
saying, “We have enjoyed our association with every<br />
member of the ThyssenKrupp family. We keenly feel the loss<br />
of Erich who worked very closely with the <strong>Port</strong> on the Pinto<br />
project. Our hearts go out to both families and all our colleagues<br />
at the company.”<br />
Company executives joined the governor to send well-wishes<br />
to Germany. ThyssenKrupp Steel USA President and<br />
CEO Bob Soulliere issued a statement on this tragic event<br />
saying, “We are shocked and saddened by the dramatic<br />
events of the last two days that have taken the lives of two<br />
ThyssenKrupp family members.”<br />
The statement went on to praise Heine’s leadership talents,<br />
saying, “Heine provided us with valuable direction and personal<br />
leadership … Erich’s commitment to our project and its<br />
long-term strategy were key to our initial successes. This commitment<br />
will continue to motivate and live on in the <strong>Alabama</strong><br />
team that he led and supported.”<br />
Local and state leaders met frequently with Heine for updates<br />
on the projects. In response to the news of Heine’s loss, Gov.<br />
Riley told the Press-Register, “He was a natural leader, and<br />
absolutely one of the smartest, most talented young men I’ve<br />
had the pleasure of meeting. It is certainly a tragedy for his<br />
family and his colleagues, but he will also be extremely missed<br />
by his friends here in <strong>Alabama</strong>.”<br />
Heine, born in South Africa in 1967, studied engineering and<br />
business administration. In February 2006, Heine joined the<br />
Erich Heine, center, member of the executive board of ThyssenKrupp Steel AG,<br />
visiting the <strong>Port</strong> in February. With him are Peter Urban, vice chairman of the<br />
executive board of ThyssenKrupp Steel AG, and Bob Soulliere, president and<br />
CEO of ThyssenKrupp Steel USA. Heine died in a plane crash in <strong>June</strong>.<br />
Executive Board of ThyssenKrupp Steel AG with responsibility<br />
for the steelmaking business unit. From 2007, he was<br />
also responsible for the construction of the two steel plants<br />
in Calvert and Rio de Janeiro.<br />
“In Erich Heine, we are losing an esteemed colleague who<br />
did outstanding work for the ThyssenKrupp Group. Our<br />
thoughts are with his family at this time of great sadness,”<br />
said Dr. Ekkehard Schulz, chairman of the Executive Board<br />
of ThyssenKrupp AG.<br />
Heine leaves a wife and three small children.<br />
Claus-Peter Hellhammer, 28, completed a technical trainee<br />
program with ThyssenKrupp Steel and worked at Thyssen-<br />
Krupp CSA Siderúrgica do Atlântico from mid-2007 to early<br />
<strong>2009</strong>. Most recently he had taken on special duties in the<br />
area of health and safety/fire protection in Duisburg. He was<br />
returning from a private trip to Brazil.<br />
Souillere added, “Our thoughts and prayers will remain<br />
with both men and their families during the very difficult<br />
months ahead.”<br />
Arlington Park Update:<br />
Wetlands Mitigation Means a New Park for Mobile<br />
Mobile residents will soon have a new way to enjoy Mobile<br />
Bay and its wildlife. Arlington Park, a nearly 50-acre public<br />
greenspace with access to the bay, is a textbook recycling<br />
project. The project takes a former military base’s fuel depot<br />
and transforms it into a recreation area with a wetlands mitigation<br />
site.<br />
The <strong>Alabama</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Authority</strong> (ASPA) purchased the<br />
property from the Mobile Airport <strong>Authority</strong>, which owns<br />
the nearby Brookley Complex, for $1.3 million. The funds<br />
allotted to the project include $2 million for development<br />
of the park and an additional $5 million for the creation of<br />
a wetlands area. The newly created high quality wetlands<br />
will offset impact to lower quality wetlands associated with<br />
the construction of the Choctaw Point Complex serving intermodal<br />
freight. The wetlands area includes marsh primary<br />
production, wildlife feeding and nesting habitats, fish and<br />
macro invertebrate nursery and feeding habitats, and water<br />
treatment and sediment retention.<br />
A pedestrian pier will cross the wetlands, ending at its edge<br />
to provide an unobstructed view of the bay, and bring visitors<br />
closer to the many coastal birds that call the waterfront<br />
home. The park also features a kayak launch that provides<br />
public access to Mobile Bay for recreational boaters in nonmotorized<br />
crafts such as canoes and kayaks. ASPA awarded<br />
the pier and kayak construction to Gillis Construction Inc., of<br />
Bay Minette, Ala. Currently, the only public access along the<br />
western shore of Mobile Bay is from Cooper Riverside Park in<br />
downtown, McNally Park near Dog River, and Bayfront Park,<br />
located just north of the Dauphin Island Bridge.<br />
“There needs to be more access to the bay,” said ASPA<br />
Director and CEO James K. Lyons. “All along, our goal for<br />
Arlington Park was to provide within the city limits a place<br />
where the public could take advantage of the bay’s recreational<br />
offerings.”<br />
The construction of the upland park was awarded to Ladas<br />
Development Inc., of Chickasaw, Ala. This work includes<br />
restroom facilities, a gazebo, parking and transit stop areas.<br />
The <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Authority</strong> is working with The Wave Transit System<br />
to ensure bus transportation to the park. Ladas will create<br />
the hiking and biking trail, as well as install the picnic tables,<br />
grills, benches, lighting, trash cans, bike racks and signs. It<br />
will also landscape the park.<br />
In addition to being a park for the people, it’s also a reflection<br />
of the people. “The public has been involved in the area’s environmental<br />
revitalization since day one,” said Lyons. The <strong>Port</strong><br />
<strong>Authority</strong> early on held public hearings that sought community<br />
feedback on the kind of amenities needed on the western<br />
shore of Mobile Bay. The <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Authority</strong> also asked the public<br />
to name the future park. Arlington Park was the most popular<br />
name to surface in that the park’s location is next to Arlington<br />
Point, a well known geographic feature of Mobile Bay. “The<br />
public provided invaluable feedback to our engineering and<br />
design team. Mobile is home to a number of kayak, canoe and<br />
windsurfing enthusiasts, which was a primary driver for the<br />
kayak launch,” said Lyons. “The launch, along with the pier,<br />
should make the park an attractive venue for picnics, bird<br />
watching or pier-side fishing.” Arlington Park is expected to<br />
be completed by December this year.<br />

Francisco Guerra is a magician-turned-entrepreneur who discovered<br />
a way of producing fake snow for a magic trick. This<br />
magic trick snow led to the founding of SnowMasters, based<br />
in Lexington, Ala.<br />
After years of success with SnowMasters’ production of<br />
evaporative snow and other special effects, Guerra teamed<br />
up with Brian Glover in the late 1990s to see what would<br />
happen if they could make clouds into shapes. This was<br />
when the research and development facility at SnowMasters<br />
in northern <strong>Alabama</strong> became the home to Flogos — logos that<br />
fly. Flogos is taking advertising to a whole new level, where<br />
the sky is no longer the limit.<br />
Flogos offers business owners a revolutionary way of skyvertising.<br />
For years, companies have given businesses the<br />
opportunity to advertise in the sky by flying a banner behind<br />
a plane at events and along beaches. Now business owners<br />
have the opportunity to send their logos up to 5,000 feet into<br />
the sky and across up to 30 miles of land in an environmentally<br />
friendly way.<br />
Guerra launched Flogos as a division of SnowMasters in<br />
March of 2008. Since then, Guerra has launched flogos for<br />
the Sheraton Hotel in New York, Nintendo, Verizon Wireless,<br />
The Hard Rock Café, and several sports teams including the<br />
Tampa Bay Rays, Los Angeles Angels, Atlanta Braves and the<br />
Cleveland Indians. In <strong>Alabama</strong>, flogos have been launched at<br />
Flogos creators are working on a larger machine for larger flying logos.<br />

Seabulk Towing: Providing Service<br />
Excellence Through Safety<br />
An Anaheim Angels logo demonstrates the Flogo system.<br />
Francisco Guerra with a Flogos machine outside of the research and<br />
development facility at SnowMasters in Lexington, Ala.<br />
Currently flogos are limited to four feet in height. “We are<br />
working on larger machines to create larger flogos, as well<br />
as computer-controlled machines so that the stencils will<br />
not have to be changed out for each new logo,” said Guerra,<br />
“They are now also available in every color.”<br />
Flogo being released in downtown Tampa to promote the Tampa Bay Rays<br />
winning last year’s division championship.<br />
colleges, such as Auburn University, and at music festivals<br />
like Birmingham’s City Stages.<br />
Flogos’ white cloud-like foam is made up of bubbles filled<br />
with air and helium (about 1 percent helium and 99 percent<br />
ambient air). The clouds have very little moisture weight, so<br />
they are dryer, can stay intact longer and are able to float<br />
higher than normal bubbles. Because flogos are comprised<br />
of natural elements, they will eventually evaporate, which<br />
makes them environmentally safe.<br />
Flogos are launched from a black box. The box produces<br />
the white cloud-like foam and pushes it through a custom<br />
stencil. Once the flogo reaches approximately four inches<br />
thick, the machine cuts the foam and the flogo is released<br />
into the skies. On average, one flogo per machine will be<br />
launched every 15 to 50 seconds, depending on machine<br />
size and flogo thickness.<br />
This <strong>Alabama</strong> entrepreneur has gone global. “Flogos has<br />
stimulated interest everywhere. We’ve done it. We’ve reached<br />
our goals all over the world,” remarked Guerra.<br />
Flogos now has five distributors in the United <strong>State</strong>s and thirteen<br />
other countries, including Israel, Japan and Nigeria. Recently,<br />
SnowMasters closed its doors on production in China.<br />
When asked about the closing in China, Guerra said, “It’s not<br />
as profitable as is once was, plus it was taking all the jobs<br />
from home.” After the closing of the production buildings in<br />
China, SnowMasters began construction on two buildings in<br />
Lexington, <strong>Alabama</strong>, to replace them and bring jobs back to<br />
<strong>Alabama</strong>. Guerra also spoke of another project. Flogos recently<br />
bought a water park in Florence, <strong>Alabama</strong>, and it is<br />
being turned into Flogos Fun Land.<br />
When asked about the impact Flogos has had on the rural<br />
community of Lexington, Guerra said, “We’ve produced more<br />
than $20 million in revenue — for a rural community that is<br />
great. We’re the largest in the area.” This <strong>Alabama</strong>-based<br />
company is continuing to grow. Now that they have colored<br />
clouds, the next endeavor will be clouds that glow in the dark<br />
that can be launched into the night skies.<br />

ASPA Board Members Reappointed by Governor Riley<br />
Congressman Sonny Callahan (Ret.), Mike Fields and Bill Bru were recently reappointed to serve on the Board of Directors of<br />
the <strong>Alabama</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Authority</strong>. All three positions are appointed by the Governor of <strong>Alabama</strong> and confirmed by the <strong>Alabama</strong><br />
Senate. Governor Bob Riley selected Callahan, Fields and Bru to serve a second term on April 14, <strong>2009</strong>, and the <strong>Alabama</strong><br />
Senate confirmed those appointments on May 14th. Eight members of the <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Authority</strong>’s Board of Directors serve five-year<br />
staggered terms representing six regions across the state, along with one at-large member and one labor representative. The<br />
body’s ninth seat is ex-officio, representing the Mayor of Mobile or the President of the Mobile County Commission serving in<br />
rotating one-year terms.<br />
Federal Grants Available Through Web site<br />
The state of <strong>Alabama</strong> launched a Web site, Stimulus.<strong>Alabama</strong>.gov, to help educate the citizens of <strong>Alabama</strong> about the federal<br />
stimulus law and track how the stimulus money is spent throughout the state. The Web site is divided into categories including<br />
business, individuals and nonprofits, which makes the site user-friendly for visitors. The Web site was launched by the state of<br />
<strong>Alabama</strong> in February <strong>2009</strong>.<br />
According to Gina Smith, public affairs director for the <strong>Alabama</strong> Department of Finance, this federal stimulus is the largest<br />
package in history of its kind. There are very strict requirements on how the money is spent, and applicants may be competing<br />
with other cities and communities for the stimulus money.<br />

Year of <strong>Alabama</strong> History<br />
Civil Rights Museum and Memorial in Montgomery, <strong>Alabama</strong>, remembers freedom fighters, Dr Martin Luther King Jr. and others involved in the historical movement.<br />
The Year of <strong>Alabama</strong> History campaign kick-off was held at <strong>Alabama</strong>’s <strong>State</strong> Capitol in Montgomery, <strong>Alabama</strong>.<br />
<strong>Alabama</strong> is celebrating 189 years of statehood by inviting<br />
residents and visitors to enjoy a Year of <strong>Alabama</strong> History. The<br />
state’s department of tourism launched the Year of <strong>Alabama</strong><br />
History campaign in December 2008 with a celebration including<br />
Gov. Bob Riley and more than a thousand school children.<br />
The effort is one in a long line of award-winning campaigns.<br />
“These campaigns were created to promote a common theme<br />
for all attractions and destinations in <strong>Alabama</strong>,” said Edith<br />
Parten, communications manager at the <strong>Alabama</strong> Tourism<br />
Department. The Year of <strong>Alabama</strong> History includes resources<br />
for teachers, families and amateur historians.<br />
Marilyn Jones Stamps, the publications manager at <strong>Alabama</strong><br />
Tourism Department, noted that the Year of <strong>Alabama</strong> History,<br />
unlike previous campaigns, is directed at students. “We hope<br />
that this campaign will get students interested in <strong>Alabama</strong>’s<br />
history and create a domino effect between kids, their parents<br />
and their parents’ friends,” said Stamps.<br />
One key element is the Web site http://www. alabama.travel/yoh.<br />
It is easy to navigate and offers an interactive historical timeline<br />
and a Calendar of Events where you can search by name, date<br />
and city. The Web site features a brief biography of more than<br />
50 legends and figures including George Washington Carver,<br />
Hank Williams, Jesse Owens and Martin Luther King Jr. Many<br />
of the figures are not only important in <strong>Alabama</strong> history, but in<br />
America’s history as well.<br />
A historical markers section allows the viewer to read more<br />
about historic places and events throughout the state and map<br />
their locations. The education link provides information on historic<br />
trails, field trip destinations and a “Did You Know” page<br />
about <strong>Alabama</strong> history. The Web site also includes multiple detailed<br />
itineraries for school field trips. A complete list of state<br />
attractions can be searched by city and/or keyword on the Attractions<br />
page. The Sites and Sounds section has a gallery of<br />
videos featuring reenactments, <strong>Alabama</strong>’s birthday celebration<br />
with Gov. Bob Riley and a complete list of historical buildings<br />
in Birmingham, Huntsville, Montgomery and Mobile.<br />
The Web site is not the only outreach in this campaign. A<br />
series of publications is also available. “We recently launched<br />
a new Civil Rights brochure where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.,<br />
President Barack Obama and Rosa Parks are featured on the<br />

“We worked really hard with the <strong>Alabama</strong> Archives Department<br />
to create the Year of <strong>Alabama</strong> History campaign”, said<br />
Stamps. The <strong>Alabama</strong> Department of Archives and History has<br />
created events and online resources to coincide with this campaign.<br />
On the Department of Archives and History Web site<br />
(http://www.archives.alabama.gov /historythisweek) there is a<br />
link called “This week in <strong>Alabama</strong> History,” which lists historical<br />
events that happened on a selected date and/or week. “We<br />
wanted to work with the Department of Tourism, and with this<br />
event, we are able to highlight and recognize <strong>Alabama</strong>’s history,”<br />
said Debbie Pendleton, Department of Public Services at<br />
the <strong>Alabama</strong> Department of Archives and History.<br />
“Lee Sentell, the director at <strong>Alabama</strong> Tourism, developed the<br />
idea of the “year of” campaigns when he came to tourism and<br />
they have been a huge hit every year” says Parten. Sentell joined<br />
the <strong>Alabama</strong> Tourism Department in 2003. In his first year, he<br />
launched the Year of Gardens and set off the beginning of five<br />
very impressive campaigns. The 2005 Year of Food, 2006 Year<br />
of Outdoor and 2007 Year of Arts campaigns have all won<br />
several awards. “We won’t know the total impact of the campaign<br />
until end of the year, but the response to the campaign<br />
has been phenomenal,” said Stamps. The 2010 campaign will<br />
spotlight <strong>Alabama</strong>’s small towns and downtowns.<br />
According to the 2008 Tourism and Travel Economic Impact<br />
Report, an estimated 22 million people visited <strong>Alabama</strong> just<br />
last year. “I cannot say how we rank nationally,” said Stamps,<br />
“as for the southeastern states of Mississippi, Tennessee,<br />
Florida and Georgia, I can say that <strong>Alabama</strong> tourism has fared<br />
very well even through tough economic times.” The report lists<br />
the top five counties Baldwin, Jefferson, Madison, Mobile and<br />
Montgomery. These five counties combined accounted for 63<br />
percent of the 22 million visitors to <strong>Alabama</strong>.<br />
Credit for the Allied victory in the Pacific must be shared<br />
by many: the U.S. Navy’s carriers and the aviators who flew<br />
off their decks, Australian coast-watchers who endured unspeakable<br />
hardships to pass along valuable intelligence,<br />
American code-breakers who worked feverishly to decipher<br />
Japanese message traffic, the Marines who fought<br />
their bloody island-hopping campaign, and the Army Air<br />
Corps, which ultimately bombed the Japanese homeland.<br />
But the role played by America’s Pacific submarine fleet is<br />
often overlooked.<br />
Most are familiar with the role of Germany’s U-boat fleets in<br />
both World Wars, when unrestricted submarine warfare very<br />
nearly brought England to her knees. Germany was sharply<br />
criticized by both the United Kingdom and the United <strong>State</strong>s<br />
for waging the type of warfare that did not discriminate between<br />
warships and merchant vessels. The United <strong>State</strong>s was<br />
not immune to the U-boat danger. In the winter and spring of<br />
1942, German submarines were sinking an average of a ship<br />
a day off the East Coast, yet unrestricted submarine warfare<br />
conducted in the Pacific by the U.S. Navy eventually would<br />
surpass even that figure.<br />
The 1930 London Naval Treaty, to which the United <strong>State</strong>s<br />
was a signatory, restricted the use of submarines and required<br />
commanders to surface and give notice of an impending attack<br />
Of Men & Ships<br />
The Undersea War in the Pacific<br />
against an unarmed vessel, giving the vessel time to disembark<br />
crew and passengers. The sinking of unarmed passenger ships<br />
by U-boats in World War I had helped to enflame anti-German<br />
rhetoric and helped to propel the United <strong>State</strong>s into the war.<br />
With the December 7, 1941, attack on U.S. naval forces at<br />
Pearl Harbor, the Navy’s Pacific Fleet was decimated, with<br />
four battleships sunk, more than 2,400 personnel killed and<br />
196 Navy or Marine aircraft destroyed. Fortunately, the Japanese<br />
attack ignored the sub base at Hawaii, leaving the four<br />
boats and their supply and fuel depots largely untouched,<br />
even as gun crews on board the boats fired at the waves of<br />
passing enemy aircraft (the submarine TAUTOG shot down a<br />
“Kate” bomber). At 4 o’clock that afternoon, the Chief of Naval<br />
Operations ordered all available submarines to put to sea<br />
and those already at sea to initiate “unrestricted submarine<br />
warfare” against any and all Japanese shipping. The United<br />
<strong>State</strong>s had officially negated its agreement to abide by the<br />
London Naval Treaty.<br />
The submarine service had its share of critics and few expected<br />
much of the boats. Prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor,<br />
the Navy’s war plans had called for subs to support the surface<br />
fleet — a fleet that suddenly no longer existed. The Silent<br />
Service, however, had a champion in Rear Admiral Chester<br />
Nimitz. Nimitz, who was promoted to admiral (skipping the<br />

The role of unrestricted submarine warfare in<br />
the Pacific largely has been overlooked.<br />

Comprising less than two percent of U.S. Naval forces in the Pacific, the submarine<br />
service accounted for 54 percent of enemy tonnage sunk during World War II.<br />
rank of vice admiral) and named Commander in Chief, U.S.<br />
Pacific Fleet later that month, had spent his formative years in<br />
command of and overseeing the design of submarines.<br />
A 1905 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, Nimitz had<br />
been assigned to submarine duty with the First Submarine<br />
Flotilla in 1907, following a court-martial and letter of reprimand<br />
for grounding the destroyer USS DECATUR (DD-5). In<br />
May 1909, Ensign Nimitz took command of the flotilla, as well<br />
as the submarine USS PLUNGER (A-1). As a newly promoted<br />
lieutenant, he took command of the submarine SNAPPER<br />
(C-5) in February 1910 and was given command of the sub<br />
NARWAL that October, when he also became Commander,<br />
Third Submarine Division, Atlantic Torpedo Fleet. In November<br />
of the following year, Lt. Nimitz received orders to report<br />
to the Boston Navy Yard to oversee the fitting out of the USS<br />
SKIPJACK (E-1) as her prospective commanding officer. The<br />
boat was commissioned February 14, 1912. A month later,<br />
Nimitz personally rescued a sailor who had been washed<br />
overboard and was being swept away from the sub. Lt. Nimitz<br />
dove into the water and kept Fireman Second Class W.J.<br />
Walsh, who could not swim, afloat until a boat could pull both<br />
men from the water. For his heroics, Nimitz later received the<br />
Life-Saving Service’s (one of the forerunners of the Coast<br />
Guard) Silver Lifesaving Medal.<br />
Nimitz was gaining a reputation as an expert in the relatively<br />
new arena of undersea warfare. In 1913, he went to Germany<br />
and Belgium where he studied diesel engines. After serving<br />
as the executive officer on a tanker, Nimitz returned to subs,<br />
reporting to Commander, Submarine Force, U.S. Atlantic<br />
Fleet, first as flag aide and later as chief of staff. In September<br />
1918, Commander Nimitz reported to the Office of the Chief<br />
of Naval Operations and became the senior member of the<br />
Board of Submarine Design.<br />
After a tour as executive officer in the battleship SOUTH<br />
CAROLINA, Nimitz turned once more to the submarine service<br />
at Pearl Harbor, serving as commanding officer of USS<br />
CHICAGO and Commander, Submarine Division 14. Nimitz<br />
next reported to the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode<br />
Island, where he wrote a plan for naval warfare in the Pacific,<br />
which relied heavily on the use of submarines. Nimitz went on<br />
to hold a variety of commands over the next two decades, including<br />
commanding Submarine Division 20, Cruiser Division<br />
Two and Battleship Division One, among others, but it is fair<br />
to say that he knew better than most flag officers the potential<br />
offered by America’s submarine force.<br />
Nevertheless, the 21 submarines in the U.S. fleet on December<br />
7, 1941, were little prepared and ill-equipped for the type<br />
of duty that lay ahead of them. Unlike that of Germany, U.S.<br />
submarine doctrine called for torpedo attacks from depths<br />
well below periscope depth and using sonar bearings. Surface<br />
attacks, so skillfully employed by U-boats in the Atlantic<br />
and Caribbean, were considered far too risky. Pre-war guidance<br />
had also specified that submarines were not to surface<br />
within 500 miles of an enemy airfield, further hobbling subs’<br />
abilities to operate aggressively. In addition, the men commanding<br />
the boats typically were older, regular Navy men<br />
who were cautious in their approach to warfare.<br />
Further hampering the effectiveness of submarines in the early<br />
days of the war was the torpedo that the boats were supplied.<br />
Fleet subs were armed with the MK XIV torpedo, fitted with<br />
the MK VI “influence exploder,” which had seen limited field<br />
testing. From the outset, submarine commanders reported dismal<br />
results in the use of these torpedoes. The Navy, in typical<br />
bureaucratic fashion, responded that there was nothing wrong<br />
with the ordnance and that the problem most likely lay in human<br />
error.<br />
Shipping should never be a painful experience of bottlenecks and inefficiency.<br />

As Commander, Submarines, Pacific Fleet, Vice Admiral Charles Lockwood<br />
pushed for newer boats, better ordnance and more daring officers, earning<br />
the respect and gratitude of the men he commanded.<br />
The submarine force gained a second champion in Rear<br />
Admiral Charles A. Lockwood, who became Commander,<br />
Submarines, Pacific Fleet in February 1943. A 1912 graduate<br />
of the Naval Academy, Lockwood had commanded his first<br />
submarine in 1914 and by the time that America entered<br />
World War I, Lockwood commanded Submarine Division<br />
One, Asiatic Fleet. Almost all of his service from then until<br />
the outbreak of World War II had been with submarines. In<br />
February 1941, Captain Lockwood had gone to the U.S.<br />
Embassy in London as naval attaché and principal observer<br />
for submarines. Promoted to rear admiral in May 1942,<br />
Lockwood reported as Commander, Submarines, Southwest<br />
Pacific. He became COMSUBPAC upon the death of Rear<br />
Admiral Robert Henry English.<br />
Lockwood, who was promoted to vice admiral in October<br />
1943, quickly earned the respect and gratitude of the submariners.<br />
The sailors dubbed him “Uncle Charlie” when he<br />
began treating sub crews to such luxuries as ice cream and<br />
fresh vegetables upon their return from long patrols. He even<br />
ordered two-week stays at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel for combat<br />
weary crews.<br />
With Admiral Nimitz’s blessing, Lockwood began establishing<br />
forward sub bases both to reduce the distance of submarine<br />
patrols and to begin to close the net on Japanese<br />
supply routes.<br />
Vice Admiral Lockwood ordered tests of the torpedoes that<br />
the Bureau of Ordnance had provided and found them faulty.<br />
The torpedoes habitually ran deeper than they were supposed<br />
to, and their firing pins proved to be defective. Though he<br />
had to battle bureaucracy and another flag officer, Lockwood<br />
was successful in getting enhancements made; the number<br />
of duds dropped off dramatically.<br />
Admiral (later Fleet Admiral) Chester Nimitz, Commander in Chief, Pacific<br />
Fleet and Pacific Ocean Areas, recognized the capabilities that submarines<br />
could bring to the war in the Pacific.<br />
Similarly, Lockwood replaced more tentative commanders with<br />
younger, more daring officers who were not afraid to employ<br />
aggressive tactics. Armed with better ordnance and newlyconstructed<br />
boats, this new batch of submarine commanders<br />
began sinking Japanese ships almost at will, severely crippling<br />
Japan’s merchant fleet. By the end of 1943, U.S. submarines<br />
had sunk more than 1.5 million tons of Japanese shipping. Two<br />
of the five Japanese carriers at the Battle of the Philippine Sea<br />
were sunk by submarines. In 1944, U.S. subs were sinking<br />
50 Japanese vessels every month — better than the German<br />
U-boats had done in 1942.<br />
The submarine service comprised less than two percent of<br />
all U.S. Naval personnel in the pacific, yet submarines accounted<br />
for more than half of all enemy shipping sunk during<br />
the war. Of the more than 10 million tons of Japanese warships<br />
and merchant vessels sunk during World War II, U.S.<br />
submarines accounted for 5.4 million tons.<br />
Nimitz, an early proponent of submarine warfare in the Pacific,<br />
became the third of four five-star admirals on December 19,<br />
1944. Fleet Admiral Nimitz went on to represent the United<br />
<strong>State</strong>s in signing the instruments of surrender when the Japanese<br />
formally surrendered on board the USS MISSOURI<br />
on September 2, 1945. He became the Chief of Naval Operations<br />
following the war. Vice Admiral Lockwood served as<br />
Inspector General of the Navy after the war. Nimitz died in<br />
1966, Lockwood a year later. By agreement, both are buried<br />
alongside Admirals Spruance and Turner and their wives at<br />
Golden Gate National Cemetery.<br />
