In The MOC, Dr. Steven Wills offers that the careers of Admiral Elmo Zumwalt, Admiral Hyman Rickover, and Mr. Philip “Jack” London demonstrate that “Failures on the battlefield, at the shipyard, or in corporate boardrooms are inevitable and the cost of those failures is high. Good character, however, allows for an honest assessment of mistakes and sets the groundwork for their addressal in good faith with an eye to positive outcomes.” Read more about the importance of charachter, in The MOC.

🚢 Exciting News! Fincantieri Marine Group is preparing for a momentous occasion: the keel laying ceremony for the USS Constellation (FFG-62) will take place at Fincantieri Marinette Marine in Marinette, Wisconsin, on April 12th, 2024. But what exactly is a keel laying ceremony, and why is it so significant? Let's dive in! 📅 Historical Importance: Laying a ship's keel is akin to its birth date, marking the start of its construction journey. It's a tradition steeped in history and represents a crucial milestone in naval shipbuilding. ⚓ Structural Significance: The keel serves as the primary fore-and-aft part of a ship's frame, connecting the stem and stern. While traditionally extending the entire length of the vessel, modern techniques involve constructing ships in modules or blocks. 🔧 Start of Production: A keel laying ceremony typically signals the start of full production for a ship, locking in construction standards. It's a pivotal moment that showcases government support, engineering complexity, and shipbuilder efficiency. What's Next? Our hardworking team will continue to craft and deliver FFG 62 with precision and dedication, ensuring it exceeds expectations and embodies the highest standards of naval excellence. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting journey! Please note that this event is by invitation only.

"Did you know? The Slinky was invented by accident! In 1943, Richard James, a naval mechanical engineer stationed at the William Cramp and Sons shipyards in Philadelphia, was developing springs that could support and stabilize sensitive instruments aboard ships in rough seas.James accidentally knocked one of the springs from a shelf, and watched as the spring “stepped” in a series of arcs to a stack of books, to a tabletop, and to the floor, where it re-coiled itself and stood upright. Sometimes the best inventions are unexpected. #Innovation #HappyAccidents"Register your patent Now.

Whenever I am in Chicago , I make it a point to visit Navy pier light house and my mind always jumps to Stephen Covey’s LIGHT HOUSE PRINCIPLES The Lighthouse Story Covey opened with a story of Captain Horatio Hornblower. As the story goes, one night at sea, Horatio awakens to find that a ship is in his sea-lane about 20 miles away and refuses to move. Horatio commands the other ship to move starboard, 20 degrees at once. The other ship refuses and tells Horatio that he should move his ship starboard, 20 degrees at once. Next, Horatio tries to pull rank and size on the other ship, stating that he’s a captain and that he’s on a large battle ship. The other ship replies, and it turns out it’s not actually a ship, but a lighthouse. The take away from the story is, there are lighthouse principles–You don’t break them. You only break yourself against them. Don’t break yourself against lighthouse principles.
