SNAME Section Meeting - Full

EVENT DESCRIPTION
In his presentation, Mark will cover the evolution of the US Navy’s hydrofoil development program from the 1950's to the 1970's, which led to the design decisions on the Patrol Hydrofoil - Missile (PHM) Program in the mid-1970's timeframe.

This will be a joint virtual meeting between ASNE/IHS/SD-5/SNAME.

SPEAKER
Mark Bebar is currently employed part-time as a Systems Engineer at CACI, Inc. Mr. Bebar has an M.S. in Ocean Engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1973) and a B.S. in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering from Webb Institute (1970).

Mark began his association with hydrofoils at the Naval Ship Engineering Center (NAVSEC) in Hyattsville, Maryland in 1970. He was NAVSEC’s Project Naval Architect for Concept/ Feasibility Studies (1971-1973) and follow-ship (PHM-3 Series) Design Integration Manager, (1975-1978) detailed to the PHM Acquisition Program Office (PMS-303), participating in Producibility Studies and Production Readiness Reviews.

No Logistics Tail, No Combat Teeth: Solutions to U.S. Military Logistics - IN-PERSON EVENT

SNAME Section Meeting - External

EVENT DESCRIPTION
Join Yorktown Institute to discuss the challenges and opportunities that face U.S. military logistics in the Indo-Pacific

America’s ability to project military power and maintain deterrence against China depends on more than warships, aircraft, and advanced weapons. It also depends on the maritime logistics networks needed to move and sustain U.S. forces.

With U.S. shipbuilding currently falling short of national needs, please join the Yorktown Institute for an exploration of the history and necessary revitalization of the Effective U.S.-Controlled (EUSC) fleet. This system enabled eligible foreign-flagged commercial vessels under American corporate ownership to be requisitioned for wartime service.

The EUSC fleet provided vital logistics support during World War II, and could provide the hull count necessary to sustain military operations during confrontations in distant theaters.

SPEAKERS
❖ RADM Kevin M Sweeney (USN, Ret.), Former Chief of Staff to the Secretary of Defense

❖ Major Will McGee (USMCR), Counsel, United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence

❖ Seth Cropsey, President, Yorktown Institute
