Book excerpt: This is a complete reproduction of the official Navy report issued in August 2017 about its line of duty investigation of the USS Fitzgerald (DDG 62) collision off the coast of Japan June 17. This report specifically reviews the crew's damage control activities, the nature and extent of injuries to the crew and efforts to provide medical care to the most critically injured personnel, along with details regarding assistance provided by other vessels, diving activities and the ship's return to port in Yokosuka. The report provides details and accounts of actions taken following the collision and reports: Through their swift and in many cases heroic actions, members of the crew saved lives. After the collision, Sailors responded to the myriad damage control scenarios occurring throughout the ship. Flooding, structural damage and reports of white smoke stressed the damage control organization; at the same time, efforts to restore power, propulsion, steering and navigation continued. No damage control efforts would have prevented Berthing 2 from flooding completely within the first two minutes following the collision. Our reproduction is dedicated to the seven heroes who perished: GMSN Dakota Kyle Rigsby, USN, died on 17 June 20] 7 while onboard FITZGERALD. He was 19 years old.

This book was released on 2020-10-13 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer of 2017 two US Navy destroyers, the USS Fitzgerald and the USS McCain, were severely damaged in separate collisions with commercial vessels operating in busily trafficked waters. Seven sailors died on Fitzgerald and ten on McCain. The US Navy commissioned multiple reports and investigations, some of which were classified and some of which had legal implications and were not suitable for public dissemination. Accordingly, the Chief of Naval Operations commissioned two reports to summarize findings for the public and important stakeholders. They comprise this publication. The reports include 40+ color photographs and illustrations, a detailed chronology and breakdown of each accident, an analysis of root causes, and recommendations for remedial action. The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requires that each federal agency maintain an electronic Reading Room with most frequently requested documents. The FOIA Reading Room series of which this is the first volume presents highlights from those collections. This publication will be gripping reading for any reader interested in accounts of loss and heroism at sea, and will be fascinating to viewers who enjoy programs like Aviation Disasters, Challenger on Netflix, and NCIS.

Download or read book From Bluegrass to Blue Water written by John Palmer and published by Fidelis Publishing. LLC. This book was released on 2022-07-13 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The philosophy found in this work is the product of a childhood on a tobacco and cattle farm in central Kentucky, education at various schools and a three-decade career in the U.S. Navy while simultaneously contributing as a husband, father, and grandfather. The remainder of this book will be separated into phases reflective of the major changes in my life: the farm, schooling, and a navy career continuum from junior officer through flag officer. The lessons learned in earlier phases were often exported and applied later. The ever-increasing levels of responsibility served to teach new lessons. There are occasional farm yarns, school tales, and sea stories added to illustrate practical application of the farm philosophy, education, and navy leadership lessons I learned along the way, and I hope the book adds value to every reader's life.

Download or read book The Decline of European Naval Forces written by Jeremy Stohs and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2018-04-15 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Decline of European Naval Forces aims to provide insight into the evolution of Europe’s naval forces since the end of the Cold War. To illuminate the drastic changes many European navies have undergone over the last twenty-five years, Jeremy Stöhs analyzes the defense policies and naval strategies of eleven European states as well as the evolution, deployment, and capabilities of their respective naval forces. In these case studies, the development of Europe’s most important naval forces is assessed per the respective strategic framework in which they have operated over the past two decades. Stöhs describes not only the general composition of each force but also the range of their capabilities and their important technical features. His study shows that since the end of the Cold War, all but a few European navies have significantly decreased in size and, thus, have ceded important capabilities along the way. Based on the understanding of sea power as a prerequisite for political influence and economic health, the consequences of the geopolitical shift toward the Asian-Pacific region, and most importantly the general decline of Europe’s traditional naval capabilities, the author concludes that the ability of European states to influence events near and abroad by means of their naval forces has atrophied and will continue to be called into question in the future.

Download or read book Night Noise Guidelines for Europe written by Charlotte Hurtley and published by WHO Regional Office Europe. This book was released on 2009 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The WHO Regional Office for Europe set up a working group of experts to provide scientific advice to the Member States for the development of future legislation and policy action in the area of assessment and control of night noise exposure. The working group reviewed available scientific evidence on the health effects of night noise, and derived health-based guideline values. In December 2006, the working group and stakeholders from industry, government and nongovernmental organizations reviewed and reached general agreement on the guideline values and key texts for the final document of the "Night noise guidelines for Europe". Considering the scientific evidence on the thresholds of night noise exposure indicated by "Lnight,outside" [L suffix night,outside] as defined in the Environmental Noise Directive (2002/49/EC), an Lnight, outside of 40 dB should be the target of the night noise guideline (NNG) to protect the public, including the most vulnerable groups such as children, the chronically ill and the elderly. "Lnight,outside" value of 55 dB is recommended as an interim target for the countries where the NNG cannot be achieved in the short term for various reasons, and where policy-makers choose to adopt a stepwise approach. These guidelines are applicable to the Member States of the European Region, and may be considered as an extension to, as well as an update of, the previous WHO "Guidelines for community noise" (1999).
