W ,, , 11. ., ,gg Editor' s Statement A Welcome to LOS ALAMOS fAFDB'7l1 THIRTY YEARS ON THE BUBBLE, a book designed to commemorate the long and illusf trious history of the U.S. Navy's best and funtil recentlyl busiest floating drydock! As l write these words, the deactivation of LOS ALAMOS is already underway. The last crew is dwindling rapidly, member by memf ber. All hands are scheduled to depart, or have departed, to their new commands. This book is for you, shipmate, to use as a reminder of people you served with, friends l96Os: The town of Sandbank, as seen from the alpha starboard wing- wall, is almost unrecognizable to the modern visitor. The drydock has as yet no outriggers, the quarterdeck is the shack suspended by block and tackle fit was hauled up for docking evolutionsl, and the flying bridge appears to be a structure only a fool would cross. you met and made onboard, and of all the hard work you did to make our mission a SHG, cess! We on the staff of THIRTY YEARST ON THE BUBBLE hope you enjoy the book you are now holding, for years to come, every time you open it. , Peter J. Lutz DCI, U. S. Navy Editor l lllmlc TODAY: Obviously, a bit of progress has made it to the town in 30 years., One can plainly see the improvements on the dock as well - the flying! bridge, for one - and catwalks, outriggers, lifelines, and doghouses. What On the Bubble Means 1 l A floating drydock is a series of ballast tanks that can be flooded to a predetermined volume based on a calculated pumping plan. A certain amount of positive buoyancy is creat- ed in this process and must be maintained or else the drydock would completely submerge. Additionally, the wingwalls have a safety deck, and vent for dip , pipes which extend into the floodable wingwall tanks about six feet. The dip pipes allow an air bubble to be trapped inside the wingwall tanks. This air bubble gives the drydock a maximum freeboard of five feet. Without the dip pipes, the draft would be about five inches for lessl. So, in other words, when the drydock is On the Bubble, il. V means that it is at the draft necessary to dock a submarine OI' ' other unit. ' 5 ' 1 A r. r lx.. 'i'-. Q, 'x . iff i sim! . .,, . .

'1Thirty years' have passed since four sections of AFDB-7 arrived in Holy Loch, Scotland. iithin a four-month period, 500 men of Mobile Construction Battalion FOUR and FDB-7 completed its assembly. Ten days later, AFDB-7 completed its first docking, the St Fleet Ballistic Missile submarine, USS GEORGE WASHINGTON fSSBN-5981. :ie drydock remained nameless for a period of four years until it was given the name USS PDS ALAMOS. F ver the years the crew size has grown from the original 150 to about 200, but how men and women have walked the pontoon deck and climbed the wingwall spirals nknown. s we close the final chapter in the history of LOS ALAMOS, it was fitting the last marine docking was The Last of the FBMs . USS WILL ROGERS fSSBNf659J. o gain an appreciation of what LOS ALAMOS is and does, you need only to stand on flying bridge with the crew at docking stations. As you stand there in the quiet solitude .he morning, you can look around and see the green hills that encircle the loch, you can look along the coastline and see the small cottages with smoke wisping from their chim- neys, you can feel the stiff northwest wind biting at your face and its accompanying rain pelt against your clothes. As you turn and look aft, some 415 feet, you see men and women along each wingwall with 120 feet of water separating them, smoke billowing from the eight engine exhausts reminds you that some of the crew is below with 35 feet of water above them, and then you know that the crew of LOS ALAMOS is poised and ready to perform its mission, a mission that has been accomplished four hundred and fifty-four times. Although my time aboard LOS ALAMOS has been short, I am honored to have been a part of its history. To my crew and shipmates: Thank you, I could not have Clone it with- out you. I am sure that there have been many ship's and crewls mottos, but we saved the best for last, and I believe the idea really started thirty years ago: WE CAN, WE WILL, WE GUARANTEE! The Commanding Officer addresses his crew during the informal ritual he created, known as L.A. Live .

Such bases must be prepared to refuel, revictual and rearm the ships as required by operations, and to repair damage sustained in battle. The repair of battle damage of any consequence usually requires the dry-docking of the vessel so damaged, Such bases, with their facilities, have played an indispens- able part in the naval conflicts of World War ll. lt is important to future planning, lthatl the training of personnel and the assignment and operation of floating dry docks be thoroughly understood History may well record that one of the outstanding accomplishments in naval warfare of that decade l1940sl was the creating of the mobile fleet base with its complete dry-docking and repair facilities. As a result, the naval 'his photo and the one on the right are meant to show the versatility of LOS LAMOS. Here, she docks one of her own pontoons, the bravo section, in 1964 .... 1 fleet of today and in the future can operate over long periods of time in any part of the world at any distance from the continental United States, The influence of this new arm on future naval strategy and war plans will be of the utmost importance .... The mobile bases, with floating dry docks and repair facilities close to line of actions, made it possible to maintain the bulk of the fleet at fighting efficiency and gave us the preponderance in strength necessary for victory .... The clocking and repair of the U.S.S. CALIFORNIA reached the Bureau of Ships shortly after the successful outcome of fthe Battle of Leyte Oulfl. As the report passed over the desk of the Chief of Bureau he noted on the routing slip This job alone pays for that dock' ,... Many similar incidents could be taken from the annals of World War ll. If the need should again arise the performance will be the same with the Floating Dry Docks at War. Ancl here, she prepares to receive a more common customer, a submarine of the U. S. Atlantic Fleet. ,OS ALAMOS and her mission have always produced a sense to reprint part of a letter written to All Hands magazine, in f teamwork and pride, both in the drydock and in her individ- 1989, by former crewmember EM2 I. R. St.Pierre. This letter, al crewmembers. The best way to describe this sense of pride is below, just about says it all: Credit where credit is due'l Your article, RESOURCEFUL's endeavor fDecember 1988, All Hands! was met with incredulity and the question, How can they donate a two-page spread for a dry dock, and then write, 'for most of the 40 crew members of RESOURCEFUL, this is the first time they have seen anything on the blocks in the dry dock'! They obviously don't have many dockings! USS LOS ALAMOS QAFDB-71 is very rarely without a unit or units on her blocks, and newly assigned individuals are usually indoctrinated with a dockingfundocking evolution within a week of their arrival. Many believe we would have been a more interesting study for floating dry docks, as we are the busiest and most versatile dry dock in the fleet .... We are a support facility, shore power station and auxiliary tender and dry dock, we have the versatility of an oiler, the power capabilities of a tender, the special abilities of a dry dock, the pride of past accom- plishments and the knowledge that we can do anything in support of our mission .... LOS ALAMOS lhasl won the Battle E , Meritorious Unit Commendation the engineering red E for four consecutive years, the supply blue E , medical M , repair R ffor three consecu- tive yearsl, damage control DC and a host of other awards and acco- lades. We have performed a myriad of firsts within our class of ship: first multiple unit docking, first undocking of a submarine, basin rebuild and docking of another submarine within a 24-hour period first sub- marine battery change-out aboard any dry dock the list goes on. Permanently deployed at Site One, Holy Loch, Scotland, LOS ALAMOS is a 513-foot long, four-sectioned dry dock with lift capacity of 32,000 tons. Ht is thel only fully independent dry dock in the fleet .... We are fully capable of supplying services simultaneously, at a moment's notice, to three SSBNS, three tug boats, two YNFBS and our- selves, including shore power, potable water .... compressed air, fuel and messing facilities for all hands. The pride and professionalism displayed by the personnel of LOS ALAMOS rank among the very best in the Navy today. We are highly trained professionals who have what it takes to perform the most ardu- ous tasks under conditions that are frequently adverse. We have the capabilities and we can do it!

Space does not allow the mention' ing of every fact, so only those felt to be most pertinent will be seen here. LOS ALAMOS is one of seven sectional drydocks originally desigf nated Advance Base Sectional Dock CABSDD. ABSD 1 f 3 were ten-section construction with a lift capacity of9l,000 tons. ABSD 4 f 7 were sevenfsection construction with a lift capacity of 56,000 tons. ABSD 7 was designed under the direction of the Bureau of Yards and Docks by the consultant marine engineering firm of Frederick R.

And now, it's time for DRYDOCK TRIVIA! A series of little facts and statistics, designed to increase your knowledge about LOS ALAMOS! Did you know ...? 1963 holds the record as the year with the most dockings, 28. 1972 holds the record for most submarine dockings in a year, 20. ' Over 30 years LOS ALAMOS averaged 14.8 dockings per year. Our total dockings numbered 454. Our total submarine dockings numbered 304. In 1984 one of our dockings was aboard a Royal Navy drydock, HMS NEPTUNE CAFD-601. LOS ALAMOS sent her dock- ing Officer, Dockmaster, and line handlers to dock USS NATHANIEL GREEN KSSBN- 6361. The largest vessel docked in LOS ALAMOS was BETELGEUSE KAK-2601. Her dimen- sions: 454' 9-5f8 long X 62' 1-518' wide, 9000 tons. The submarine that holds the record for most dockings is USS ULYSSES S. GRANT fSSBN-6311, with 13. Three oth- ers, THEODORE ROOSEVELT ISSBN- 6001, LAFAYETTE ISSBN-6161, And ALEXANDER HAMILTON QSSBN-6171 tie for second place with IZ each. The EBM submarine with the fewest dock- ings was FRANCIS SCOTT KEY CSSBN- 6571, with only one. Close contenders are WOODROW WILSON ISSBN-6241, KAMEHAMEHA QSSBN-6441, GEORGE BANCROFT QSSBN-6431, and LEWIS AND CLARK CSSBN-6441, with two each. We have docked 39 of thef41 PBM sub- marines in 30 years. The two holdouts were SIMON BOLIVAR KSSBN-6411 and BENJAMIN FRANKLIN iSSBN-6401. Now, don't you feel really smart?

Only a few miles away in every direction are ancient castles, ruins, historic villages, and all manner of interesting and exciting landmarks. Edinburgh and Glasgow are a scant hour or two to the east by various modes of transport, offering shopping, shows, and other activities. For those with a sense of wanderlust, just across the border are England's charms: from York and Newcastle in the north, to Stratford-upon-Avon, Oxford, and Lon. don in the south. f' The ruins of St. Blane's Chapel, on the Isle of Bute, date back to the 12th Century, the original monastery was erected in the 6th, and destroyed by Vikings at the end of the Sth Century. Two scenes from St.Andrews: far left, the ruins of St.Andrews Cathedral, once the biggest church in Scotland. Left, the West Port, main entrance to the old town.

What we mean by this is, we don't have a lot of people, but each one does the work of two or more. Everything from repair parts to paperclips was kept on board or readily obtained, in order to help the command mission. Sup- ply consists of S-1 and SZ Divisions, and both divisions work in support of the crew and units in dock, by providing such services as laundry, barbershop, and three galleys onboard. SK1 Ray A.

Consisting of three divisions, A, M, and E, and fourteen separate work-centers, the department can easily be described as the cardiovascular system of LOS ALAMOS: The veins reach from her very center outward to all corners of her 400' x 125' x 75' dimensions, and carry 110 to 440 volts of alternating current life's blood. Her heart is made up of eight 1550 hp, l6fcyl, Caterpillar diesels, assisted by Kato pace- makers capable of delivering 8000 kw of energy without breaking a sweat. At will this lady can hold her breath, dip down, wait patiently while shipmates center a submarine over her breast, and then discharge more than 17,000,000 gallons of water back into the sea, thanks to eight 15,000 gpm dewatering pumps, this can be done in a matter of a few hours. This remarkable lady's physicians are the men and women of the proud Engineering Department. r 1 .MVA .,,i,.., ,. . wx. .gs in .. ...f ,,-M ...V - fa - H..- .t.-- 1 W - -,,.-- -....... . ........r.m':.ru Division Vt. .I ,. a V. 4 -3 -- , -Q:-g.:1.:gf.1v1:':.:'E: ,1 l:'1, .. - ' 4 fs-Numwsmms.-mimxfnnQm3fa.Qm5R?f,'uu a'lm'AtQ,'-,.m' s:5ttaLaasz.ifnv,f,feit.1.t1',.4. -.uimfawmhfanf .a,?.L, 'l5'7 V' ll .e.Q1.mm MM1 KSWJ C.

Inactivation is what is happening to LOS ALAMOS, but the process thereof is far-removed from inactivity! Proportionally speaking, our crew is working twice as hard as it ever has, in order to prepare the dock for transfer to the Umothball fleet . The announcement that LOS ALAMOS was to be inactivated, and the Site closed down, was first made to the crew in late the cranes.

Donnie came up with the book's title as well. What is depicted on the cover is our hull number f FDB7 , as it was formerly painted on the wingwall - see Our Mission sectioni reflecting on the water. When the dock was On the Bubble then this is what an outside observer would have seen back then, when looking at either Alpha or Delta wingwalls. s l I I i Q A ' I- 71 aww-...- , .... - .... ---M .
