Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division (NSWC PHD) Research Manager Jason Bickford, left, gives his final thoughts during the last hot wash meeting of the Repair Technology Exercise (REPTX) aboard the Self Defense Test Ship at NSWC PHD on Sept. 1. Bickford, who helped manage the exercise, said one of the goals of the inaugural event was to build something sustainable, and that REPTX will likely return again next year, probably tied to the annual Coastal Trident Port and Maritime Security Program that NSWC PHD has executed since 2008.
