 These Mark 38 Mod 3's will increase our ship's security force and our situational work. Welcome back teammates, Captain Paul Angelada, commanding officer USS Gerald R. Ford. I'm back here with one of our superstar wolverines so if you want to introduce yourself. Good morning everyone, I'm Jim Tumihia. I'm currently the work center supervisor for WG02. I'm from Los Angeles, California. I've been in the Navy for four years and I've been on board for three years now. Awesome awesome so we're standing out here in front of some big gear can you tell me just like what is this what are we looking at? Sir so what we're doing at the moment is installing the Mark 38 Mod 3. We're working with GDIT and we're going to install the sponsors first. The first one that's going to get installed is this one back here Starboard Ath and then every other week every seven days they're going to install the next ones on each corner of the ship. How long is it the whole thing going to take is this like a big project? So this project will take about five months throughout PIA. We're expecting to leave PIA with all four sponsors on and the weapons installed as well. Nice yeah so our PIA is our planned incremental availability it's our dedicated maintenance period and then when we're done with this we're gonna have these guns. Can you kind of I don't know share with the with the world what why they're important like what why does it matter? Yes sir so installing these Mark 38 Mod 3s will increase our ship security force and our situational awareness it'll also aid navigation and CDC and it will also benefit our full and half board teams when it comes to general reporters and see an anchor. Yeah we're gonna become a lot more lethal I think and we were talking right before this I don't think Petty Officer me has ever shot one of these things. I have not shot them. These guns are freaking awesome they are lethal they're gonna make this ship which is already pretty sweet even more lethal I'm really excited about this yeah they are loud as you as you cannot even believe and they reach out and touch someone I would not want to be on the other end of one of these guys. I can't wait to shoot one with you. Same sir. All right let's do it. Thank you sir. I'm Petty Officer Mejia and this is Board of Class.
