Prioritizing the Culture of Service, What Lessons can be Taught from Military Service at Navy League of the United States’ #SeaAirSpace 2024 Sailor life offers unrivaled opportunities for young Americans seeking purpose and adventure, but such personal fulfillment is only possible amidst a service-wide culture of respect, duty, professionalism, and service to others. This extends beyond those in uniform, to include strong support for spouses and children. It also extends beyond the length of one’s time in service, as each Sailor, Marine, and Sentinel is expected to maintain the integrity and strength of character developed while in uniform even after transitioning out of service. How does America develop the greatest Sailors, Marines, and Sentinels in the world and how will we continue to do so? We heard from the senior enlisted members of these renowned sea services and learned about the tireless work they undertake to ensure that the quality of our servicemembers remain the envy of the world.

HMNZS Manawanui Loss: After her recent grounding and sinking, the Sea Heritage Foundation sends our heartfelt condolences to the Royal New Zealand Navy, the crew, and the families of HMNZS Manawanui. A ship is much more than welded steel and machinery. It is a home, a workplace, and a vessel much loved by its crew. Naval ships crews are highly trained professionals, as clearly demonstrated by the safe evacuation of the whole crew from the ship in what would have been very challenging conditions at night in close proximity to the reef, in darkness, with weather adding another level of risk to manage. The burden of command is ever present; BZ to Commander Yvonne Gray RNZN for her leadership under extreme circumstances and the rest of the command team and crew for their swift actions under pressure, which saved lives. In situations like this, there are many elements to consider. Unfortunately, too many experts like to offer their opinions without knowing all the facts. Let the Navy conduct its investigation and communicate its outcome before jumping to unfounded conclusions. This will ensure a comprehensive understanding of the incident.

Something new is underway! The Regional Maritime Training System (RMTS) is transforming to advance Hampton Roads' maritime industry.

Only a submariner realizes to what great extent an entire ship depends on him as an individual. To a landsman this is not understandable, and sometimes it is even difficult for us to comprehend, but it is so! A submarine at sea is a different world in herself, and in consideration of the protracted and distant operations of submarines, the Navy must place responsibility and trust in the hands of those who take such ships to sea. In each submarine there are men who, in the hour of emergency or peril at sea, can turn to each other. These men are ultimately responsible to themselves and each to the other for all aspects of operation of their submarine. They are the crew. They are the ship. This is perhaps the most difficult and demanding assignment in the Navy. There is not an instant during his tour as a submariner that he can escape the grasp of responsibility. His privileges in view of his obligations are almost ludicrously small, nevertheless, it is the spur that has given the Navy its greatest mariners: the men of the Submarine Service. It is a duty, which most richly deserves the proud and time-honored title of... SUBMARINER Proud to have served.

Ensuring the highest standards of quality and safety is crucial, especially in specialized fields like submarine operations. Utilizing extensively qualified and specialized individuals, such as QMS - NDT,NACE & Industrial Ceramic Coatings submarine specialists, is paramount. Quality and safety are non-negotiable priorities, as highlighted by the tragic events like the USS Thresher incident. It's essential to recognize that opting for cheaper contractors, contracts with little to no defence experience or cutting costs can significantly compromise these standards, potentially leading to disastrous consequences. Real-life incidents like the USS Thresher serve as poignant reminders of the critical importance of supporting a robust quality supply chain populated with experts well-versed in submarine operations and highly technical defense vessels, bolstering the efficacy of QMS within the defense sector.
