WASHINGTON (NNS) -- Navy leadership published a COVID-19 Leaders’ Handbook containing current Navy guidance on COVID
mitigation measures and procedures 30 June as a reference for leaders throughout the fleet.

The handbook will act as a quick guide for leaders both ashore and at sea to educate their teams on the threat COVID poses to the
Navy and give them key information on prevention and mitigation procedures.

As new information and research about the coronavirus comes available, the Navy updates and publishes guiding documents to
inform and assist the fleets in their decision making processes. This handbook distills and collates key high-level guidance into one
place to more easily allow leaders to make informed decisions and thrive within the COVID-19 environment.

The handbook will assist commands in the completion of their missions both at sea and ashore as they become accustomed to the
“new normal” of operating in a COVID-19 environment. Guidelines require commands to establish and maintain COVID-free bubbles,
adhere to the established prevention protocols, and be ready to fight through COVID outbreaks while continuing to provide mission assurance.

The handbook includes information on how COVID spreads, and promotes Public Health Mitigation Measures like self-monitoring and
reporting, physical distancing, washing hands frequently, and wearing masks to prevent the spread of the disease that have been proven
as effective tools in fighting the virus.

The handbook also covers protocols for containment in the event that there is an outbreak in addition to outlining the process of conducting
methodical contact tracing to identify service members who may have been in close proximity to a COVID-positive Sailor.

“The handbook is designed to provide Leaders at all levels with a common understanding of the latest science, show them that current
USN guidance is grounded in that science, provide them tools to prevent, and when necessary, contain COVID-19.” said Rear Adm.
Will Pennington, Special Assistant to the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Operations and Plans.

Newly established sentinel surveillance testing protocols are also outlined as a key resource for unit commanders to potentially identify
asymptomatic COVID-positive individuals. The handbook stressed that scientific data informs operational guidance and frequent updates will be made.

“This handbook reinforces how individual responsibility and simple public health mitigation measures are critical to protecting the team,
and is written to allow young leaders to distill and then disseminate the most pertinent guidance so we can successfully operate through this
pandemic,” explained Rear Adm. Karl Thomas, Assistant Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Operations, Plans, and Strategy.

The Navy will continue to protect the health of the force and proactively fight complacency within the ranks. The Navy is prepared to fight
and overcome the challenge of operating in a COVID-19 environment while delivering decisive sea power on, above, and under the sea.

Cup of Joe
Josephus Daniels (18 May 1862-15 January 1948) was appointed Secretary of the Navy by President Woodrow Wilson in 1913. Among his reforms of the Navy were inaugurating the practice of making 100 Sailors from the Fleet eligible for entrance into the Naval Academy, the introduction of women into the service, and the abolishment of the officers' wine mess. From that time on, the strongest drink aboard Navy ships could only be coffee and over the years, a cup of coffee became known as "a cup of Joe".

Over twenty years ago, when we first started NAVetsUSA, Barry ( http://www.navetsusa.com/members/bcruikshank.html )
was one of the most enthusiastic person I have ever had the privilege of knowing. He was my
assistant ship's writer for our online newsletter 'The Shipmate.' He was always
eagerly offering to help me out in the preparation of the newsletter. In addition
to that he was an outstanding individual and a true blue Sailor. I had lost touch with
him over the yearsand just found out from our leader and founder of NAVetsUSA
MCPO Ed Reese that Barry had passed away in 2006.

Rest in peace, my dear friend and shipmate.

We are interested in info about how many LI s worked in the X-2
division and what were the normal seniority/age of the crew members
involved assigned to work in the print shop.

Maybe you can quiz your folks that may have served in Midway class
ships( CV 41,42,43) between 1945 and 1991.

Angry Sea

I joined the Navy in 1965, I served on three Destroyers (2Built in WW-II), River Boats, FMF (Fleet Marine Force) in Vietnam, and later Submarines. Of all my time at sea, nothing scared me more than "Angry Seas" while on board a Destroyer. For those who are not familiar with the term "Angry Seas," click on the link below and watch the video. I have no words that could describe what you are watching. The video cannot convey the unbelievable fear, incredible noise, nor can words describe just how bad Sea Sickness can be.

During WW-II ADM Bill Halsey was almost brought up on charges, when he directed the Third Fleet into a Severe Storm. The waves were so high, three Destroyers were lost with all hands. Witnesses said, the Destroyers couldn't top a wave, and the bow went into a wave, causing the destroyer to go straight to the bottom. They said the Destroyers drove into the wave and disappeared. ADM Halsey was cleared, because the weather reports received from San Francisco, didn't have a good fix on the storm.

Sir,

My father, John Holden Kincey, DOB: 3-15-1925, was in the Navy from 1945 to 1948 (??). He was stationed at Barin Field near Pensacola, FL.

While there, he played on the Barin Field baseball team. I do know the coach's name was Lt. George Shotwell. He played several years & I'm trying to get more infomation such as his uniform number (mainly).

My father passed away 2 years ago & I'm trying to get this information for my son. Do you have any suggestions how I could find this information out? I have no idea where to start.

Thanking you in advance,
Kathy Kincey Wood

Master Chief:

The Battleship New Jersey Museum and Memorial would be very interested in partnering with your organization. Below are a couple of possible programs that could generate some revenue for each of our organizations:

-          We could host a fund raiser dinner or BBQ on the ship to raise funds for each organization.
-          Offer a special overnight encampment aboard the Battleship for your members to spend an evening re-living a night on the ship. We could offer a portion of the encampment ticket price back to your organization as a fund raiser.
-          Perhaps create a special shirt, lapel pin or challenge coins that we could sell to members of each of our organizations and split proceeds.

These are but a few of many possible programs that I believe we could coordinate and raise some funds. If you are interested in talking about a partnership in greater depth, please feel free to email me back or call me at 866-877-6262 ext. 144.

I finally checked my website. Thank you very much. Although I retired 3 years ago and I know we are all USN, I wanted to give a nod to the USNR-TAR designation that some of us were. If it needs to be changed, please do so. By the way, the website is awesome and like I just read a comment by one of the individuals, you guys are definitely above 5 stars. ( I believe it was the comment by the person suggesting the NAVMARCOASTGUARDVets...)

I am his (name withheld) only biological daughter~He has no other "blood" relatives alive, he was adopted, and both of his adoptive parents have died since my father's death. I don't have his social securty number. How do I get his discharge papers.
NAVetsUSA.... I recommend you go to Social Security death index. They publish the social security number of deceased at the site. Then go to the VA site with that info and ask for his discharge papers...DD-214's. You can also get a greatful nation certificate thru the VA.I did everything you suggested today, and obtained my dad's SS number; thank you again, very much~it's appreciated and I am so thankful for your assistance, time, and dedication to our Country ?

Chief Harribine, I need some clearing up on NavVetsUSA website membership.
I've been under the impression, that it was open to all Navy, Coast Guard and Marine's, active/retired who could become a member??? If so, then why not
make a change for what it's worth....NavMarCoastGuardVetsUSA to include
what I'm referring to???????
I went out with an e-mail a year or so ago....here's my message, which I don't
exactly recall the date sent or who it was directed to...believe you Don as you
are the Editor:
From your last newsletter, I note some of my Navy buddies who I stay in touch with have renewed their membership. I just want you both to know that I truly believe NAVetsUSA is the best means for Navy retirees and non retirees to include the U.S. Coast Guard and Marine Corps to stay in touch with former service members. I just don't rate NAVetsUSA five stars which seems to be common. I rate NAVetsUSA ten stars . CDR Reese and Chief Harribine, you both are dedicated men and God Bless you both!

Mr. Reese I am a regular user of navsource and have all the pics of Brooklyn Class CLs that are available there and from any commercial scource. Each of these ships were very different at the end of WWII which makes research very difficult. Off the top of my head I don't think Nashville was one of the Brooklyn's converted to the twin 5"/38 turrets but I will check. I will also check the museum you told me about and see what they have. Maybe they have a good pic of the trestle area of the ship which will help me w/the Savannah. Thank you for the reply. Rick ">rnm53@knology.net

Question: Ed why does it say Master chief on this Welcome aboard letter but on the web site it says NCCS? VR Bill Simons

Answer: I am retired as NCCS (Lithographer Senior Chief first) after 20 years active duty. I joined the NY Naval Militia, promoted to NCCM and was the recall officer and Command Master Chief for the NYNM during 911.
More info about the Militia is at http://www.navetsusa.com/afloat/
The Militia is the Navy component of the NY State guard. Few states have a "Navy". Not sure about Washington.
My resume is at http://www.navetsusa.com/resume.html

Reply: Sounds cool to me. I tried to go back for desert storm but they said that they didn't want old guys. So I went back to school and became a paramedic for 11 years then back to school and became a Radiological Technologist for 2 years back to school and got certified to be a cat scan operator. Only needed 1200 hours for my PA license but the old lady got tired of me being in school all the time. So all in all I ended up with a degree in business, a degree in computer science and a degree in Radiology. So now I still hold my cat scan license, but spend most of my time on the HAM radio. I really like your net. I will pass the word. Take care Bill

My boss, Dale Hedrick is trying to locate the name of the ship his father was on during WWII. All we have is his name, Charles Lee Hedrick, from West Palm Beach, FL. Would you be able to direct me to a website or provide contact information of where I could obtain this information?
Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Diane dharper@hedrickbrothers.com

Ahoy Diane,

Your boss can request his fathers discharge papers at http://www.archives.gov/veterans/evetrecs/index.html
These document will list any ships he may have served aboard. Find out as much as you can about his Dad. His full name may be enough but the more info the better. You may find his Social Security number at http://ssdi.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/ssdi.cgi

Thanks

Good day to you. I am Karen Harribine, Donald's daughter. Many of you may be looking for his emails and correspondence. I wanted to inform you that Dad was hospitalized on Saturday with severe stomach pains. It turns out that he will have to have his gallbladder removed as it is enlarged and he has some type of infection going on.

It would be difficult for me to let everyone know as he has such a tremendous mailing list but somehow these email addresses I obtained through Dad on one of his emails to me.

Thank you deeply for your prayers and thoughts as Dad gets through this. You can be sure he will be back as soon as he is able.

God Bless,
Karen Harribine

Hello my name is Joan, I have been searching web sites to locate where my father was station and his unit. There are so many sites and hours of looking I don't have much information. But was wondering is there any way to search for someone. I know my dad was at Normandy. He was a sailor and I know his submarine was hit. I don't have to much information as my dad died when I was a little girl. I was trying to find boot camp pictures He was from New York City. I think he was sent to Samson boot camp. If there is any information you could send me on how to search for him would be greatly appreciated. I thank you so much in advance for your help. Joan

Hi Joan,

Sampson Boot Camp Museum (US Navy Training Center) has a large selection of Company Boot Camp Pictures during your Dad's service time.
Maybe if you called the museum, they would try to do the research. The more information you can provide the better. If you really want to search yourself, visiting Sampson would be a great experience. If you get tired going through the books and need a break, try some of the local wine tours ( -;
This is a link to good information about the museum and boot camp with old photos as well http://www.rpadden.com/sampson.htm.

I am looking for information about the entire Talos system. Do you happen
to know where I could find FTM 3&2 or 1&C from the 60s-70s with Talos
information (late 70s editions pretty much ignored Talos)? How about any
Talos OPs? I need more information about the missile, launching system and
radars. In particular, I would like to find photos or drawings of the
missiles with the skins off showing the electronics modules and hydraulics.
I remember vaguely what it looked like but it has been 37 years and the
memories are getting pretty fuzzy. Drawings of the 49s and missile launcher
are also on my list. Just about anything relating to Talos on the Okie Boat.

Do you remember the transmitting power of the 49s in pulse and CW mode? How
about the SPW-2?

Thanks.

To whom it may concern:

I am inquiring how to find out if your website is the information and the same ship my father was on, and researching about his tour for the US Navy. Unfortunately, My Dad passed away 2 years ago and I thought I would do some research today, Memorial Day, on what ship he was on or how to put his name on crew list. His name &numbers I have are:

Robert M. Farwick P03 USS TOPEKA SFM3 August 1959- August 1963. Maybe you could help me decipher these numbers and help me in the right direction of division, etc?

I would really appreciate a reply. Thank you &Wishing you and your families well.

Sincerely,
Kari firewifer@yahoo.com

Hello Mr. Reese:

I recently joined the organization and immediately found info needed but for some reason have been unable to pull it back up. I requested info on a flight deck fatality on board the Kitty Hawk and got two replies. Both stated there were numerous other replies on pages 31 and 32. Went to the Hawk message board but cannot find these pages or go back to them. I thought the request was from your site but am not sure now. Do you have a suggestion or another idea or even a phone number of someone who might help me. Any or all information you might have would be appreciated.

I employed Stephen Ward for some carpentry work at my home in Alpharetta Georgia but he fell ill, I received an email from him over 3 weeks ago that he had been in the VA hospital with heart failure and he would be in touch, I am not interested in the work side but he has left tools at my home that are valuable and I cant contact him. I think something may have happened to him. I do not have a contact number or an address as we corresponded by email - HT3 Stephen Ward [ganavyvet@hotmail.com]

His navyvet homepage is http://www.navetsusa.com/members/sward.html.

I would appreciate if you could find out if he is OK as I want to return his tools but also am concerned that he is OK.

Hope this takes caire of your inquiry

My name is Andrea Byron and I am writing to you because I am trying to let Marines, dependents, Naval personnel and civilians who lived and worked aboard MCB Camp Lejeune in NC from the 1950s through 1987 that they may have been exposed to highly contaminated water. More than 70 chemicals were found in the water and many of them are known carcinogens.

The U.S.M.C. is asking anyone who was at Lejeune between 1957 and 1987 to register on their website at www.marines.mil.

Anyone looking for information regarding the contaminated water at Lejeune, including an illness registry, discussion board, photo gallery and historical documents library is invited to visit the website of The Few, The Proud, The Forgotten at www.tftptf.com. TFTPTF was formed by 2 Marines whose families were exposed to the highly toxic water.

Thank you for your time and consideration and for all that you've done in the name of freedom.

Sincerely,

Andrea Byron

Dear Sir,
My name is Zack Methvin. I am the president and founder of the USS Forrestal Memorial. We are a non profit 501C3 organization dedicated to building a memorial display at our local airport to honor the 134 men who were killed aboard the Forrestal in the fire of 1967. We will be displaying a Navy F4 Phantom as the primary display. I am wondering if it would be possible for you to place our website link on your site? We are trying to get all the exposure we can and raise funds in the process. You can visit our page at www.forrestalmemorial.com for more info. We would greatly appreciate any assistance you could provide in this area.
Thank You,

I am applying as the Son of a veteran of WW2. My dad's name was Rufus LeRoy "Abe" Wadley. He served in nte Naval Air Corp. during WW2. The best I can learn is that he was assigned to CASU 22 and then HEDRON 5-1 F.A.W. 5 in Boca Chica Fla. He was an Aviation Radioman 3C, V6 USNR 4-4. His plane crashed on a Carrier where he suffered 2 broken ankles. This is all we've been able to learn of his service. He passed away due to kidney failure in 1967. My siblings and I are trying to learn as many details about his service that we can. Please help if you can with contacts, websites, etc... where we can learn more.

Your Boat Memory In My Next Book

Boatsailors --- I plan to write another book, this one of the long-promised

"Submarine" genre, after I finish the one I am now working on re-writing because,

in case you did not know, "first-time-authors" are lower than whale poop. If you

have any stories, from your Navy experience, in any and all boats, of amusing,

scary,

heroic,

ill-treatment,

lied to,

BOHICA moments (Bend Over Here It Comes Again),

funny and/or appropriate nicknames of shipmates,

brushes with skimmers, airdales or jarheads,

PCU anecdotes,

belly-burglars,

Adm. Rickover,

watch-standing,

Captain's Mast,

mess cooking,

supply SNAFUs,

practical jokes (such as hiding the XOs door),

quals,

ORSE or Weps exams,

Visiting brass,

Home on leave or in transit,

NQP Nub baiting,

bridge lookout,

yardbirds,

sand crabs,

near misses,

visiting ship duty,

unauthorized ship’s newsletters,

drydock,

fishing off the pier,

deployments,

shakedown cruises,

dependents cruises,

fast cruises,

or anything amusing or entertaining that the Dolphin-bejeweled crowd would buy a

book for, let me know and, with your permission, your name will be noted in the

bibliography of said work. Items must not compromise National Security Laws that

you have previously signed off on when you left the "Silent Service." Suggestions

for a title are also graciously considered prior to publication, and all published

donor stories used will get a signed copy at a special rate. I am a stage-4 cancer

patient, currently in remission, trying to use my bonus time constructively, and pay

off exhorbitant bills in order to remain alive a while longer; and maybe, at least

once, buy something nice for my new and only granddaughter. To keep items from

public eyes, send them to my home email --- submareener@msn.com

--- please don’t forget to include the code word
"Submarine Book" in the subject title,
so it won't get inadvertently deleted prior to reading and logging. I invented

this email address to insure correct pronounciation for skimmers, Brits, and the

uninformed. If I do not finish intended MS, then there are those that are

pre-selected that will follow my dream through publication. Thanks and God Bless

you..... Jim, Submariner Extraordinaire.

Hi Chief,

I'm looking for information about the asbestos on the USS Franklin D Roosevelt on which I served from September 1972 to December 1973. I'm suffering from breathing problems and would like to find if it's due to the asbestos on the ships I served on.

Respectfully, David Allen

Sir,

I formerly served in the US Navy (1995-02) and was hoping to find the right contact with the Coast Guard in NYC who will be escorting the Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary cruise ships on Thu October 16th from Pier 90 when they get underway in the late afternoon.

It is the final maiden voyage for the Queen Elizabeth II ship (www.cunard.com). I rode her when I was a kid from France to the US and I'll be honest, it's a stretch but I'm respectfully requesting to sail out with Coast Guard when they escort the cruise ships out of the harbor.

I appreciate your consideration or who I can contact.

V/R,

Alex Archawski aarchawski@hotmail.com

Hi. I am a Navy daughter and now a Navy Mom. I found your site on a web search and think I have a little info that can help a few people. Overseas Navy Post Offices there on the military records listed as numbers so to hide where you are based. My Dad was Hollandia, New Guinea USNB 3115 and Manus Is., Admiralty Islands 3205. i FOUND THESE WHEN i SEARCHED fpo ww2 codes . They are listed at a place on www.Bluejacket.com or www.bluejacket.com/usn-usmc_ww2_location-codes.html. This might help a lot of familys understand where there fathers and sometimes moms were. My Dad enlisted Oct. 27, 1942 and went right to work he helped build Sampson Navy base he was here 12 weeks.. His records say Reserve but he really enlisted. After this base he went to Great Lakes he was here for 16 weeks.. When at Sampson there were no class photos. There were NO DOCKS EVEN. His barracks were next to the lake and there were no See bees around. My father was a Carpenters Mate and was NEVER See bee. He is proud of this even if the See bees take all the glory . My Dad went on to help build many bases in the US. Pleasington, , Shoemaker and Treasure Island in Oakland where the Worlds Fair had been. All before going to the islands he shipped out to the islands from Treasure Is. . Being land based he was transported on the USS General M.L. Hersey going over and the USS. Half Moon on a trip home to San Pedro where he was later discharged. There is very little info on the Navy Carpenters. See bees say they were part of there group. My father was not he was Navy enlisted and he says he was before the Seabees. His rate on his arm show he was Navy as well. There are a few photos of im and others at Hollandia and Lake Sentani by the Air Field. Piolets took sailors up to test out repaired planes. My father helped build the Quonset huts so everyone could stay dry and safe from the elements. He was at Hollandia in New Guinea, Manus Is. and Los Negros Island. Hollandia and Manus were the main bases for the Philipine invasions. If they weren't there we could never gone forward. The sailors were based 20 minutes outside the main base. . I have learned a lot in my search. I am looking still for his base Navy number if it was separate from the FPO number I have found. What were the Air Field pilots there who were they ? He remembers a LABADABA I only found a name similar by Port Mosby in the South. Do you or know of any of the numbers on the military bases in the USA ? What is "separation discharge 553." ? Thankyou for any help you can offer. Also THANKYOU for listening. Sincerely, Mrs. Tina Pratt momtina8888@yahoo.com My son is Navy today. I joke often that its kind of like a "wheres Waldo," trying to figure out where he has been. I do like being able to e-mail him on ship and he can send me photos that are taken the same day it is WONDERFUL. Thankyou.
