00:04.938 --> 00:07.540
Employees at NAVSUP WSS

00:07.540 --> 00:10.910
united with several entities
to rapidly attain a part

00:10.910 --> 00:14.714
for the USS Makin Island's
fire suppression system.

00:15.148 --> 00:18.752
Fire suppression system is critical
to damage control operations.

00:19.152 --> 00:24.057
Without that, the ship's operational
safety is at risk when they are deployed.

00:24.457 --> 00:26.693
This particular part had not
been manufactured by

00:26.693 --> 00:29.095
Milwaukee Valve since the 1990s.

00:29.095 --> 00:32.399
And they were able to 
assess their workload

00:32.399 --> 00:34.267
and expedite this part
to meet a critical

00:34.267 --> 00:35.702
operational need for the ship.

00:36.002 --> 00:38.838
The actions highlighted
NAVSUP WSS’s

00:38.838 --> 00:42.409
Navy partnership with Regional
Maintenance Center Southwest,

00:42.409 --> 00:46.346
NAVSEA 21, WSS Contracting and Industry.

00:46.846 --> 00:50.250
My team did a great job
working with the vendor directly.

00:50.250 --> 00:53.086
We had some good leadership
engagement as well,

00:53.086 --> 00:54.921
that provided oversight for us

00:54.921 --> 00:57.223
that kind of helped
usher this process along.

00:57.223 --> 00:58.992
The ship got the part in time

00:58.992 --> 01:00.794
and was able
to execute its mission.

01:01.594 --> 01:03.096
From Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania.

01:03.096 --> 01:04.597
I'm Angela King-Sweigart.
