After serving in the Navy, Lloyd G. LeCain went on to launch his own business related to overseas construction. In addition to his role as a business owner, Lloyd LeCain supports the Naval War College Foundation (NWCF), an organization that funds U.S. Naval War College (USNWC) programs and activities.
In the beginning of February 2021, the NWCF announced that it received a grant from the Pew Charitable Trusts to develop a maritime handbook. The handbook will cover the most challenging problems faced in maritime governance and will be based on a series of case study review workshops hosted by the USNWC. These workshops will involve students participating in tabletop exercises that will facilitate understanding of the complex considerations affecting maritime operations, how to respond and execute reactions appropriately, and the importance of coordinating maritime law and regional and interagency interactions. The pair of two-day workshops will cover issues developing countries face such as illegal or unregulated and unreported fishing, piracy, drug trafficking, port security, humanitarian and disaster relief, and consequence management. These workshops will culminate in a handbook that will include eight case studies.

A California senior executive from Lompoc, Lloyd G. LeCain served in the Navy before launching his OCONUS (overseas construction) venture. In addition to running his business, Lloyd LeCain supports the U.S. Naval Institute (USNI), an organization that seeks to give voice to maritime subjects and people who serve in the military.
According to the USNI, the Navy awarded Newport News Shipbuilding a $3 billion contract to renovate the USS John C. Stennis. The contract will go toward the company performing a refueling and complex overall (RCOH), which is expected to begin in April of this year and be completed by August 2025. The USS Stennis is up for a mid-life availability, which will include removing the flight deck, gutting the ship and its computer and combat systems, overhauling the tanks, and rebuilding the ship so that it can finish the last 50 years of its service life. This extensive work will encompass modernizing or upgrading more than 2,300 compartments and hundreds of tanks and systems, as well as the propulsion plant, flight deck, combat system, island, and catapults. Newport News’ vice president Todd West said that the company was pleased to take on this project, a second award from the Navy. According to West, the team has spent three years planning and preparing for the project. |
