SECNAV Mabus at BIW<br />
The Honorable Ray Mabus, Secretary<br />
of the Navy, took office in mid-May<br />
and was at BIW on June 15, 2009, as<br />
part of a tour of northern New England to<br />
familiarize himself with the construction,<br />
operation and maintenance of the U.S. Navy<br />
fleet. While in Maine, he was accompanied<br />
by Senator Olympia Snowe and Congresswoman<br />
Chellie Pingree.<br />
During a brief media availability following<br />
a tour of the shipyard, Secretary Mabus<br />
told the press that this was his first visit outside<br />
Washington after taking the job. When<br />
asked about the significance of <strong>Bath</strong> <strong>Iron</strong><br />
<strong>Works</strong>, he replied that it is very important to<br />
the country to have competing shipyards, a<br />
strong industrial base and a trained work<br />
force. “For us to have the ships that we<br />
need to defend the interest of our nation,<br />
we have to have capacity …. This is a very,<br />
very impressive facility.”<br />
