The New Name Contest

Of the many suggestions, the best is Bob Hickman's "Undersea Surveillance Center."

It is short, simple and describes the mission.

Thank you Bruce! My 15 minutes of fame just expired!

Re: The New Name Contest

Bruce, when thinking of an Acronym for such a name "NUSC" comes to mind. Unfortunately that Acronym has been used in the past, to be specific the Naval Underwater Systems Center (NUSC) in New London CT back in the day. I don't know if the USN is fussy about reusing Acronyms. NUSC New London just came to mind because I interviewed for a job there during my last year of grad school at UNH. I didn't accept their offer because the pay was less than I had been making as a LTJG when I left the system in 1971. Instead I accepted an offer from GE HMED (Heavy Military Equipment Dept) in Syracuse; my 6 years at GE HMED were fun, challenging, and interesting. We competed with Bell/WECO on the IUSS contract (when the "I" meant "Interim"). Obviously GE lost that bid! I can't help but wonder "what might have been" if I had taken the NUSC job.

Re: The New Name Contest

Can't think of what the letters mean exactly but maybe " I C U " ?
