i am here today to talk on behalf of the navy how the navy is proposing to remediate or clean up parcel e-2. to reiterate i have brought comment cards for the public so they can submit public comments. we do require written comments and they need to be postmarked by the 5th of november. what happens after the comment period, the document will tell what -- how we have decided to remediate the site and we will design it and monitor the site after we are done. but i will go into that a little more. where is parcel e-2? you will see that it is the southwern part of the shipyard including 48 acres of shoreline and lowland coastal area. ok. the history. e-2 was created between the early 1940's and late 1960's by filling in with various materials including soil, crushed bedrock, saidments, construction debris and trash and waste. i have a series of photos that show the progression of how this land was created. so you will see in this photo, you can see the 1935 shoreline at the top and what is most of now e-2 was bay. it was filled land. if you follow along to 155 it is more filled in. 1965, e

when they got back to pearl harbor, the navy knew we needed some good news. they made sure that the whole world knew about wahoo and was on the front page of all of the newspapers. all of the newsmagazines, newsreels and the feeders were talking about wahoo and its shell shock skipper stevens people. he spent time with hollywood folks and renewed acquaintance is there that will come back a little later, too to read a second patrol was just about as spectacular but they did some amazing things. on the first patrol they were ordered to pass a little island that had a harbor and they couldn't even find it on the charts but the navy issued it. they had to use and at less one of the members had bought in australia for his son and they found it on very and they were able to projected on the wall and tore all the right stuff, so they knew they were in their right area. the owners were to drive by the area and see if there was any enemy activity. well, this means sale right into the harbor and the harbor so shallow they could feel the swells against the reef. they we

they couldn't even find it on the charts that the navy had issued. they had to use an atlas that one of the crew members had brought in australia for his son, they were able to project it on the raw and draw in the right stuff so they knew they were in the right area. the orders were to drive by and reconnoiter the area and see if there was activity there. to mush morton, reconnoiter means sail right into that harbor, so shallow that they could actually feel the swell against the reef. they were close enough to the beach, they could count the coconuts on the palm trees. they see a destroyer coming their way. mush morton executes the first successful down-the-throat shot to shoot the narrow profile of a destroyer, it's almost impossible because there's only a narrow range where you can actually shoot, otherwise the to torpedo won't arm, or it'll go too far, and you'll miss it completely. plus, it's a very narrow target. they sank this destroyer inside this harbor, and it's quite a dramatic scene. that just led to the lore. this all continued, but it's

he was a, into one of the most prolific skippers a navy. a large number of vessels despite the problems of their or having. but he lost on the last patrol with all hands. until 2005 we were not even sure where he was. we knew it was off the northern coast of japan. but thanks to some of his relatives, base to the author and to the navy and even to russia and some russian petroleum exploration kraft eventually located the wreck, took enough pictures to convince the navy there really was some another have had several memorial services. it is a great relief to the family to be able to point to a particular place and say that is where the summer and went down. to that point he was still listed as missing in action for all the family members knew the crew could have been captured, died in concentration camps. it did not know what happened. but the menu found and were able to do the research actually talked to some of the pilots the fire on them that they. they pieced together the total story. fighting to the end, as was his nature. he was unable

president, the navy today has only 285 ships. the ddg-100 program, the ddg-151 restart, the virginia-class submarine and other ships in the shipbuilding budget will help to close the troubling gap between the requirements of the combatant commanders and the number of ships that the navy actually has. i'm particularly proud that the skilled workers of bath ironworks in my state are playing such a critical role in building the ships that our navy requires. bath's excellent performance of delivering ships on time and under -- or on budget to the navy continues, mr. president. this year b.i.w. delivered the u.s.s. pruance to the navy, where the destroyer will serve in the pacific fleet. in addition, b.i.w. has completed more than 60% of the construction of the very first ddg-1000. this is a destroyer for which the navy laid the keel for the ship two weeks ago. so consider that, mr. president, that 60% of the construction had been completed before the keel-laying ceremony. that is a feat which is all that much more impressive when you
