As BPMI celebrates 70 years, a lot has changed—our tools, our tech, even our workspaces. But one thing has stayed constant: our commitment to doing work with accuracy, integrity, and personal accountability.

The image shows an old Westinghouse Plant Apparatus Division (WPAD) policy card reminding employees that every piece of work must be accurate, complete, and represent their best effort. Anyone who touches a document is responsible for its quality.

Today’s policy uses new language, but the message remains the same. Every individual at BPMI is accountable for producing accurate, complete work—even in collaborative environments. A signature is more than a formality; it’s a stamp of accountability that reflects understanding, independent input, and personal integrity.

Seventy years later, the tools look different, but the heart of our culture hasn’t changed. Responsibility and integrity continue to define how BPMI does business.

Flag Day dates back to June 14, 1777, when the Continental Congress officially adopted the design of the American flag—13 red and white stripes and 13 stars representing a “new Constellation.”

Just under a year before the official adoption of the flag’s design, Betsy Ross had been asked by General George Washington to sew the very first American flag, a symbol that would soon represent a new nation.

Just a year later, on February 14, 1778, the Stars and Stripes received its first foreign naval salute when the USS Ranger, under Captain John Paul Jones, arrived at a French port.

Key milestones:
• 1916 — President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed June 14 as National Flag Day
• 1949 — Congress made the observance official

After 27 official versions, the American flag still flies proudly aboard U.S. Naval vessels today.

BPMI is proud to fly the American flag at all of our locations. It stands as a daily reminder of our commitment to this country and our mission to support the U.S. Navy.

BPMI and the Naval Nuclear Laboratory are proud to support the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program mission alongside key allies around the world. Through the 1958 US–UK Mutual Defense Agreement, we work closely with our UK partners to advance shared priorities and strengthen our collective expertise.

Last month, BPMI, NNL, and Naval Reactors executive leaders visited Rolls-Royce Submarines and BAE Systems to tour their facilities and deepen collaboration on our ongoing work together. These engagements consistently spark valuable discussions and help all partners move forward toward common goals.

A sincere thank you to Rolls-Royce plc, BAE Systems, Inc., and the UK Ministry of Defence for hosting our team and continuing this important partnership!

This month, we’re celebrating two trailblazing “firsts” in Naval history that helped shape the fleet we support today:

🚀 First carrier-qualified jet squadron

On May 5, 1948, Fighter Squadron 17A (VF-17A) became the first carrier-qualified jet squadron in the U.S. Navy.

After years of innovation following the Navy’s 1942 push for jet aircraft, 16 FH 1 Phantoms embarked aboard the light carrier Saipan (CVL 48) to prove jets could launch and recover at sea.
With every pilot qualifying and 200 total landings—and only a minor mishap—VF 17A earned its place in history and paved the way for the jet fighter squadrons that operate from our nuclear-powered aircraft carriers today.

🌊 First submerged circumnavigation of the globe

On February 16, 1960, USS Triton (SSRN 586) got underway on a mission to circle the globe entirely submerged on nuclear power.

Crossing the official starting point in the mid-Atlantic on February 24 and returning there on April 25, TRITON covered 26,773 nautical miles in 60 days and 21 hours.

When she arrived in Groton, Connecticut on May 10, 1960, USS TRITON was recognized as the first ship to circumnavigate the globe while submerged—a landmark achievement proving submarines could operate safely, stealthily, and effectively around the world.

At BPMI, we are proud to support today’s U.S. Navy aircraft carriers and submarines as they carry forward this legacy—protecting our nation’s security from the sea and from the sky.

When you work at BPMI, you quickly see how our work evolves to meet the needs of the U.S. Navy. That’s why we rely on people and teams who are agile problem-solvers with a true “can‑do” mindset—ready to tackle real‑world challenges, even when they extend beyond our usual areas of expertise. When we are called upon, we deliver.

📸 The team pictured did exactly that. Through their efforts, we were able to evaluate, analyze and help the Navy resolve a complex technical issue.

While we don’t have the room to share the technical details, we can celebrate the people behind the achievement. Their creativity, teamwork, and dedication are what move our mission forward every day.

👏 Bravo Zulu to this outstanding team—your impact matters, and we’re proud of you.
