From Left to Right, Top to Bottom,
Alex Thompson, a mechanic in the Module Repair Section (Shop 67), came through the apprentice program and has been at Norfolk Naval Shipyard for six years. “One of the best opportunities you can have is at the shipyard and I wanted to take that opportunity with electronics, I felt like it was a good fit,” he said. When talking about his current job, Thompson explains what he enjoys about the work. “[I enjoy] the troubleshooting and the problem solving aspect of it all. The theory of electrons and electronics, it just fascinates me and it’s a whole thing like physics and all that, I just geek out about it.”
Josh Kelly, a mechanic in the Module Repair Section (Shop 67) is a 2M certifier capable of model test, repair and development. Kelly, who joined the shipyard in February 2024, explains what brought him to Norfolk Naval Shipyard, “[I’ve been doing this kind of work] since 1999 and I like the climate here. Before I was an instructor but now I’m actually doing the job again which is what I wanted to do. I taught for four years and now I’m back fixing things.”
Roy Neal, a general foreman with the Antenna Shop (Shop 67), reflects on what brought him to NNSY. “I [am] retired military and I wanted to stay and support the government and do different things so this was another way to do that and it was a natural progression going from Navy to the shipyard. And I like electronic work, I like being able to put my hands in stuff and repair it and give it out to someone to use…I want to support the fleet as much as possible.”
Kevin Woodrow Manuel, Inside Shop Production General Foreman (Shop 67), and Rick Gorman, a welding engineer in Code 138, discuss the heat treatment machine used for post weld stress relief of the shaft.
