Fleet Maintenance In The 21st Century October 22-23, 1991, Virginia Beach, Virginia A joint symposium called "Fleet Maintenance in the 21st Century," to be co-sponsored by the Tidewater Section of the American Society of Naval Engineers (ASNE) and the Commander in Chief, U.S. Atlantic Fleet, will be held October 22-23, 1991 in the Pavilion Convention Center in Virginia Beach, Va. Nationally prominent speakers from the military and government will address current issues during luncheons. A panel of flag/executive level experts from the fleet and private industry will discuss critical avia- tion, surface and submarine main- tenance concerns during TYCOM/ industry panel presentations. Over 45 technical papers will be presented by leading government officials, maritime commercial industry ex- ecutives, professionals and academians regarding fleet mainte- nance management, engineering, logistics and training within avia- tion, surface and submarine com- munities. Specifically, among the topics that will be presented are "Maintenance Strategies," "Propul- sion Plant Condition Assessment," "Vibration Monitoring: Surface Ships," "Overhaul Practices," "Qual- ity Supply Support, SSN 688 Class," and "New Developments in Butter- fly Valves." The quality and variety of exhib- its have always been a primary con- tribution to the success of ASNE's maintenance symposiums. The ex- hibition area will bring together rep- resentatives from combat systems, test and evaluations, aviation sup- port systems, submarines, logistics and support and contracts, as well as surface ships' maintenance. The symposium will kick-off at 9 a.m. on October 22 with Adm. Paul D. Miller, Commander-in-Chief, U.S. Atlantic Fleet, in Pavilion Au- ditorium A as the keynote speaker. In Auditorium A, three sessions will center around "Maintenance Strat- egies." In the Pavilion Room B, "Elec- tronics Testing" will be the subject of three presentations, while in Pa- vilion Room C and Pavilion Room D, "Overhaul Practices" and "Research/ Development I" will be the main topics, respectively. The four ses- sions will be held in parallel and followed by Admiral Boorda's lun- cheon speech in the Pavilion Center at noon. In the afternoon of Tuesday, Oc- tober 22, "Maintenance Develop- ments I" will be the main session in the Auditorium A, while "Mainte- nancp F.lprt.rnnirs I" will he the focus follow the sessions at 3:25 p.m. in the Pavilion Exhibit Hall.

"We have de- signed our response system to meet the most stringent mobilization re- quirements." Nine newlv built spill response awarded to Foss Environmental Services, Seattle, to serve as the commission's primary oil spill cleanup ^contractor in the Puget Sound, Grays Harbor and Willapa Bay areas. Foss Environmental was the lowest of three qualified bid- ders. erators do not have their own cleanup contractors or are not members of a Washington cleanup cooperative. The 32-foot spill response vessels are capable of responding to a ma- rine cargo or fuel oil spill at a speed of 35 knots. Each vessel carries 1.000 feet of oil containment boom.
