About four years agothe state of Delaware be-came aware that eight, 16-inch Mark 7 barrels wereavailable and going to bedisposed of, according toRobin Staton, programanalyst with the DahlgrenHistory Project. The bar-rels drew interest fromCape Henlopen State Parkin Lewes, Del.

“They were available atthe Portsmouth Shipyardat St. Julian’s Creek,” Sta-ton said. “The Navy wasgoing to scrap them.” Fur-ther research conductedby Jim Poyner, a navalhistory enthusiast andNaval Surface WarfareCenter Dahlgren DivisionG Department employee,

showed those soon-to-bescraps were part of theoriginal barrels on the Io-

wa-class battleships.“Three of the barrels

were from the [USS] Mis-

souri, one was from the[USS] Iowa, and the re-mainder were from the

[USS] New Jersey,” Statonsaid. “We had made sev-eral people that we knewwere involved in historicalpreservation aware of theexistence of the barrelsand Delaware wound upgetting one of the barrelsthat had been on the [USS]Missouri during WorldWar II for Cape HenlopenState Park.”

The gun will be movedto the Fort Miles site onthe park grounds, whichhad been a major coastaldefense battery in WorldWar II, according to Sta-ton.

NSASP celebrates 239th Navy Birthday Ball

2 Friday, October 17, 2014The South Potomac Pilot

Naval Support Facility Dahlgren celebrated Diversity Day 2014 at the Parade Field on Oct. 9. Theevent included more than a dozen displays, the announcing of media arts contest winners, music,dancing, readings, and, of course, food. The Hispanic Association provided barbecue chicken skew-ers that were popular enough that hungry patrons waited 5-10 minutes at times while fresh batcheswere prepared. The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division Safety and Environmental Officewas one of many organizations with displays during Diversity Day. Susan Scheible, NSWCDD Safetyand Environmental Office, said members of the office wrote a little about themselves and what theydo at work, as well as how they support the organization at home. “We have a lot of people out here,”she said. “It’s wonderful.” Members of the Semilla Cultural Dance and Parrandon Express wowed thecrowd with singing and dancing during one of several performances.

The second of four public meetings on the Joint Land UseStudy for Naval Support Facility Dahlgren was held at theUniversity of Mary Washington Dahlgren Campus Oct. 9.

The JLUS is a cooperative land use planning effort con-ducted as a joint venture between an active military instal-lation, surrounding jurisdictions, state and federal agencies,and other affected stakeholders. JLUS goals include protect-ing the health and safety of surrounding residents and work-ers, preserving long-term land use compatibility betweenNSFDahlgrenand the surroundingcommunities, promotingcomprehensivecommunityplanning thataddressescompat-ibility factors and issues, encouragingacooperative spirit be-tween the military installation and community officials, andcoordinating and integrating the local jurisdiction growthpolicy plans with the installation’s plans.

Fundedby theDepartmentofDefenseOfficeofEconomicAdjustment and contributions by King George County as thelocal project sponsor and project manager, the five com-munities partnering with NSF Dahlgren to develop the JLUSinclude King George County, Va., Town of Colonial Beach,Va., Westmoreland County, Va., Charles County, Md., and St.Mary’s County, Md.

Much like the first public forum in March, the secondmeeting presented an overview of the study and surveyedcitizens’ concerns on topics related to NSF Dahlgren andsurrounding areas. The JLUS covered a set of 24 potentialcompatibility factors. Citizens were given a presentation andquestion-and-answer session by Mike Hrapla, vice presidentof the Matrix Design Group consulting team and projectmanager for the NSF Dahlgren JLUS. In addition, those in at-tendance were able to participate in an exercise where theycould grade the level of concern for issues by marking it witha blue dot on posters hanging on the walls for each issue andassigning it to one of five levels of priority - high, medium,low, ongoing or awareness.

“This is your opportunity to give your opinion on thecharts that you see around the building,” Hrapla said. “We’lleventually have a public review and comment period once adraft document is created.We’ll havepublicmeetingsduringthat period to answerquestions for thepublic andhelp guidethe public. It’s one thing to say something’s bad, but it’s an-other thing to say where it is, what it is, and so we can focusin on trying to resolve it.”

The24compatibility factorswerebrokendown intoman-made factors suchas landuse,noise, anti-terrorism,and localhousing availability; natural resource factors such as waterquality/quantity, sensitive biological resources and marineenvironments; and competition for scarce resources such asland/air/sea spaces, frequency spectrum capacity and road-way capacity.

“Theprimary focus isnot fromthemilitarymission,”Hra-pla said. “The focus is to deal with communities and theirconcerns. The key here is to balance the Navy mission as wellas the community and their economic development. We’relooking for that middle ground.”

Hrapla said the Matrix Design Group consulting team an-ticipates completing the studyby theendof January2015.Formore information visit www.dahlgrenjlus.com.

V-22 Osprey arrives for Weaponization Trade Studies

U.S. Navy photo by Zack Shelby

A V-22 Osprey aircraft is hoisted off a U.S. Army barge and placed in the Naval Support Facility (NSF)Dahlgren yard craft area parking lot Oct. 10. The aircraft was towed to a Naval Surface Warfare Cen-ter Dahlgren Division facility where weaponization trade studies, sponsored by the Naval Air SystemsCommand V-22 Joint Program Office (PMA-275), will be conducted. PMA-275 brings cutting edge tiltro-tor technology to today’s Marines and special operations forces. The V-22 Joint Program Office is ateam effort, employing talented Sailors, Marines, Airmen, civil servants and contractor employees.The V-22 supports Marine Corps, Navy, and Special Operations Command combat missions.

display there, including a 12-inchgun that had been on the [USS Wy-oming] battleship around the turnof the century,” Staton said. Theyalso have a number of three-inch,50-caliber guns and an eight-inchrailway gun from Dahlgren, but thebig armament at the fort had beenthe 16-inch mark-two Navy gunsthat had all been transferred to theArmy for coastal defense sites priorto and during World War II.

“The state [of Delaware], for along time had wanted to get a 16-inch gun to display at the fort,” Sta-ton said. “We put them in contactwith the [Naval Sea Systems Com-mand] people that were in chargeof disposing of all of the battleships’spares. As a result, over a process of18 months to two years, they woundup getting one of the gun barrelsthat had been on the [USS] Mis-souri.”

In addition to wanting a gunbarrel, the state of Delaware de-cided they wanted to put togethera whole gun, which would be es-sentially identical to the one on theDahlgren Parade Field, according toStaton. The barrel is from the USSNew Jersey, which was part of theirarmament that served during WorldWar II.

“They contacted us,” Statonsaid. He added that they’ve gottenall their guns from Dahlgren goingback to the mid-1990s.

“They are already there and ondisplay,” Staton said. “We deter-mined that there were probablyenough spare parts here (in variousplaces at Dahlgren) to assemble onemore gun. For the past 18 months,

Delaware had been working to getfunding to move the parts fromDahlgren to Henlopen. Staton saidthey will probably now be work-ing on funding to assemble a gun.Delaware submitted a request to theNavy, which was approved to collectthe gun parts from Dahlgren. Thatprocess began Sept. 2 when a cranecompany came on base to collectthe parts to assemble the gun.

“Essentially, the major part ofthe effort last week was to get allthe parts out of the range becausethey were all stored in at least threedifferent controlled areas of therange,” Staton said. Some of theparts were about 100,000 pounds,according to Staton.

“It took a big crane to pick up theparts,” he said. Right now the partsare at two different locations onbase outside of the range.

“We are also giving them a sec-tion of that piece of 18-inch armorplate which was holed by a 16-inchgun here - very similar to the pieceof armor plate that’s out at thefront gate,” Staton said. He saidthere’s a piece out there that has ahole through it and also has a 14-inch projectile that had penetratedthe armor, but the projectile is stillstuck in the armor plate.

“They wanted to have a compara-ble display and there was a piece ofarmor here on the main range thathad the hole in it from World War IIand we gave them a section of thatplate to put on display,” Staton said.“It’s a pretty graphic illustration ofthe power of those guns.” The otherpiece that’s going to Delaware is theslide assembly, which is across thefrom the sea plane hangar.

“That’s a 105,000-pound pieceof hardware,” Staton said. As it per-tains to moving massive parts goingforward, Delaware and the craneswill provide the heavy lifting, butDahlgren will continue to help.

“We will continue to providetechnical information,” Statonsaid. He also added that Poynor willprobably have to provide Delawarewith advice on how to assemblethe gun. “Their next step will be toraise money. It will be an expensiveoperation to put the gun together.It will involve cranes, people andvery heavy lifting. It’s a fairly com-plicated operation, but there netresult will be a gun that looks verymuch like the gun on the paradefield here.

Staton said the Dahlgren HistoryProject gets satisfaction out the op-eration. “Our role here is to try tohelp preserve and protect as manyof the Navy-related artifacts as pos-sible - to answer research ques-tions which could range all acrossthe board,” he said. “We receiveda request recently from the U.S.Army wanting to know the detailsof an airplane crash that was herein 1983. We answer a lot of inquiriesboth from people inside the gateas well as outside. We’re trying topreserve significant pieces of Navyhistory that exist on base. In caseswhere there is strong interest fromanother organization that has thecapability to publicly display andpreserve unique Navy artifacts, weare certainly willing to help them.”
