2000214-N-MI811-1004 BREMERTON, Wash. (April 14, 2020) Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Joyce D. Martin, a native of Cumming, Ga., stationed aboard Nimitz-class nuclear aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70), and Peyton Jones, a Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PSNS & IMF) employee, cut and organize reusable, cloth facemasks at PSNS & IMF. The masks are now mandated by a new Department of Defense COVID-19 protective measure requiring individuals to wear face coverings when within six feet of each other. Vinson Sailors are augmenting PSNS & IMF to mass produce masks for wear by the crew and personnel in the shipyard, with 10,000 kits that included two masks, instructions and a pen for labeling having been distributed to date.
