The CEO of a heavy construction and engineering business, Lloyd G. LeCain provides clients (including military contractors) with outside of the Continental US construction. A former captain in the US Navy, Lloyd LeCain continues to support multiple military organizations, including the US Naval Institute.
The US Naval Institute recently announced the Navy has begun work on the hull of the future USS Constellation (FFG-62), the first ship of a new Navy ship class in over 10 years. The total cost to build the ship is estimated at $1.28 billion, and work is expected to conclude in fiscal year 2026. The new Navy ship class has a multi-mission character thanks to dynamic features. When fully loaded, it displaces approximately 7,300 tons and requires a crew of approximately 200. The radar system is based on AN/SPY-6 radar, and, for combat, the ship has an Aegis Baseline 10 combat system, a vertical launch system with 32 cells, and 16 naval strike missiles. The design also takes into account future equipment and technology updates. Following the construction of the USS Constellation, the Navy predicts future ships will cost between $800 and $950 million to produce.

The CEO of Heavy Construction and Engineering in Washington, DC., Lloyd G. LeCaincontributes much of his time to naval-related organizations. One of the organizations that Lloyd LeCain belongs to is the Association of Old Crows (AOC).
The mission of the AOC is to create a community for people who have an interest in electronic warfare, electromagnetic spectrum management operations, information operations, and cyber electromagnetic activities. The AOC has announced that it is accepting applications for its AOC Education Foundation (AEF) scholarships for 2021. Awarded to both a female and male candidate, the two scholarships will go toward students studying engineering or engineering technology and working in the aerospace and defense industry. This scholarship is a part of this whole effort to help nurture talent in these areas. Last year’s scholarship was awarded in May and culminated in each student getting a $12,500 award for college expenses. Applications for the 2021 award will start being accepted in February and end April 30, 2021, with the awardees being announced no later than May 2021. The scholarship requires that students are US citizens, are full-time students who are sophomore or juniors, exhibit academic excellence in core subjects, have a 3.0 cumulative GPA on a 4.0 scale, and have an interest in contributing to the field as seen through student essay submission. For more information regarding this scholarship, visit the AOC site at https://www.crows.org/page/scholarshipprogram. In addition to serving as CEO at a construction contracting company that works with the military, Lloyd G. LeCain is involved with several navy-related associations. Lloyd LeCain is a member of the Naval War College Foundation (NWCF) which was established in 1969.
Established in 1969, the Naval War College Foundation focuses on the efforts of the Naval War College, and modernizing the foundation’s image is a part of this mission. In September 2020, the NWCF decided it was time to revamp the brand image. The rebranding effort tackles two areas: language and images. Its brand message focuses on why the organization acts, the areas of focus, and how these actions are carried out. The new brand message will say the NWFC provides funds to support the war college to develop civilian and military leaders who will be trained to take on future challenges, who are dedicated to protecting the country and being a part of the global leadership, and who are adept preventing and navigating the challenges of war. The foundation also decided to spruce up its logo. The NWCF combined its previous logo with that of the Naval War College, so it now appears to have a lighter blue shield of arms with the trident logo (borrowed from the war college), the eagle, and the anchor-with the last two being a part of the NWCF logo. Finally, the NWCF is adding the tag line “EDUCATE TODAY. SECURE TOMORROW.” |
