Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Including more than two hundred vintage photographs and illustrations, Portsmouth Harbors Military and Naval Heritage chronicles the history of the Piscataqua Rivers naval shipyard and harbor defenses. Long before it became home to one of the U.S. Navys first federal shipyards, the harbor at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and Kittery, Maine, was protected by gun batteries, mainly at Fort Point, New Castle, New Hampshire. By the end of World War II, modern concrete batteries mounting guns of ever longer range had been constructed at this and three other forts straddling the rivers mouth. These fortifications reflected the increasingly important role of the shipyard, dedicated after 1917 to building submarines that contributed significantly to the World War II victory.

Download or read book Portsmouth Naval Prison written by Katy Kramer and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2016 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Portsmouth Naval Prison, now vacant, sits on Seavey Island on the Maine and New Hampshire border. Discover its intriguing history and fearsome reputation. For over a century, "the Castle" or "the Rock," with its deceptively appealing exterior, has kept both visitors and New Hampshire residents in its thrall. Since its opening in 1908 to its decommissioning in 1974 and into the present day, myth and lore have surrounded this iconic building. For the 66 years it functioned, any prisoner who escaped was brought back dead or alive - or so it has been said. Although the prison's fearsome reputation is cemented in Darryl Ponicsan's The Last Detail, Portsmouth was a forerunner in many ways. Routine inside often reflected the latest advancements in the field. Yet, designed or deserved, the prison's legacy remains an intriguing mix of dread and redemption.

Download or read book Past Performance Policy Implementation at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard written by David C. Warunek and published by . This book was released on 1996-12-01 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of past performance as a factor in the source selection process intuitively makes sense. A contractor's record of past performance is a good indicator of future performance and should be used to make best value vice low cost contract awards. The Federal Government recognizes the value of assessing past performance and mandates its use by all agencies. This study discusses the issues surrounding the use of past performance. It also provides an overview of current mandatory and discretionary past performance guidance, and describes several past performance information systems applicable to the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, Portsmouth, NH. An analysis of the shipyard environment is then used to form the basis for an effective policy implementation plan. Currently, past performance shall be a significant factor in all competitively negotiated procurements above one million dollars. Similarly, evaluations must be prepared for each contract valued at five hundred thousand dollars or above. These thresholds will soon be lowered to one hundred thousand dollars each. Implementing the highly discretionary Federal policies at the command level requires a thorough understanding of the issues surrounding past performance such as fairness, the prescriptive versus tailored approaches, new entrant treatment, information validity, and implementation costs. Successful implementation is also dependent upon command specific needs and limitations. This study investigates the issues surrounding the implementation of the Federal past performance policies at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.

Book excerpt: In the 1930s, the Portsmouth Navy Yard in New Hampshire built less than two submarines a year, yet in 1944 it completed an astonishing 32 submarines, and over the course of the war produced 37 per cent of all U.S. submarines.
