To Whom lt May Concern,

James R. Smith was employed by Marconi Marine (YSL) Ltd from 09/11/98 to 25lO2lOO

as a Senior Draughtsman on Brunei O.P.V.1 (1"tof Class). During this period he was involved with the

creation oi a CADDS 5 Primitive 3-D Ships Structure model working from Design Guidance & Scantling

Drawings. He then progressed to be involved with the creation of a 3-D solid model,

Defining all relevant Structure concurrent with Outfit Systems.This included the modification

of the Structure model as Engineering progressed by means of Design change (DMlRs,

D.A.Ns & T.l.C.Rs). His experience was invaluable and was utilised to check and assist less

experienced Draughtsmen within their tasks. James was able to assist with the Design Validation of

the Ships Structure by means of Cadds 5 Visualiser. He then progressed to be involved with the

production of Workstation Drawings for the Operations Assembly shops, within this he created Piece

Parts for Plasma Burning and Coded Sections for bar marking including sets and templates.

James had to work a basic 37 Hours per week with an average 10 Hours per week Overtime

to enable the section to achieve our program, which he willingly contributed'

James was a Key Player within the team and an asset to the Structure Section. I found him to

be most reliable and he supporled this by his Experience, timekeeping, his pleasant manner and his

willingness to impad his experience whenever possible.I would recommend James as a very capable Structural Draughtsman with excellent Potential

Supervisory Skills.
