SUBMARINE SCHOOL ANNOUNCES CIVILIAN OF THE QUARTER

Groton — The Naval Submarine School has announced the selection of Cary Maikranz as the 2018 second quarter Civilian of the Quarter.

Maikranz began working for NSS in 2003. He is a member of the Training Support Department and serves as the training manager for all NSS students, from initial accessions through fleet proficiency training.

NSS Commanding Officer Capt. Jack Houdeshell cited Maikranz’s professional support of the Corporate Enterprise Training Activity Resource Systems in the management of multiple mechanical ratings for students.

“I’m surprised and honored by my selection,” said Maikranz. “I feel all of us in the training support department work as a team to help assure our students receive the training they need as seamlessly as it can be provided because making the fleet better begins with having the besttrained sailors.”

Naval Submarine School’s mission is to train officers and enlisted sailors in basic knowledge and skills which submarine commands in the Atlantic and Pacific can build upon to develop competence and proficiency in operating and maintaining submarines and all their systems; provide functional, refresher, advanced, and team training to submarine and submarine support personnel to increase and maintain knowledge and proficiency in specific skills; furnish specific operationally oriented support to submarines to ensure maximum effectiveness of their sensor systems and perform all other training and sensor support as required and requested.

Naval Submarine School trained more than 66,000 students in more than 160 courses in 2017.
