SILVERDALE, Wash. (Jan. 8, 2021) Richard Willis, Trident Refit Facility Bangor (TRFB) Fabric Worker Helper, manufactures custom Point Of Use Tooling (POUT) backpacks. Since April 2019, the Sail Loft has manufactured six COVID-19 Bio-Enclosure Testing Containments for Submarine Group 9 and more than 4,000 face coverings for the TRFB workforce. The Sail Loft consists of five employees and one supervisor. Typical duties include upholstery, applique, embroidery, machine/equipment coverings, custom tool bags and backpacks, curtains, walk-in containments, glove bags, boat canopies, and awnings. By utilizing multiple types of sewing machines, various fabric and foam cutters, an array of hand tools, as well as radio-frequency sealing machines, the Sail Loft is able to manufacture items per specifications and requirements set by each customer, working from written or oral instructions, blueprints, sketches, or a provided sample. Most of the work takes place inside the shop however, at times it is necessary for the team to go to other shops, piers, docks, or onto a submarine to measure for coverings or containments as well as install them upon completion. TRFB�s Shop 74A not only supports West Coast Ballistic Missile Submarines and other TRFB shops, but other entities such as Strategic Weapons Facility, Pacific; Naval Undersea Warfare Center, Division Keyport; Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division; Naval Submarine Support Center; and Naval Base Kitsap - Bangor, Port Operations. The Sail Loft slogan reads, �Keeping the submarine community together, one stitch at a time.� (U.S. Navy photo by Sonja L. Hanson)
