Norfolk Naval Shipyard’s Pipefitter Shop (Shop 56) Pipefitter Mechanic Patrick Douglas (left) and Helper-to-Worker Pipefitter Benjamin Roach work on the pipe assembly cooling system on a jet blast deflector, a safety device on aircraft carrier flight decks to prevent damage and injury. “We take safety very seriously here in Shop 56. It has to be 100 percent perfect or we don’t sign off on it,” said Douglas. Roach added, “There’s just too much at risk for the Sailors on the flight deck that they need to have the confidence that the jet blast deflectors’ mechanical pieces will not fail them any time during flight operations.”
