Simon Lake normally has 10-day availabilities with tended units. Vince Yeager, a Simon Lake Ship Superintendent from La Marque, Texas, the average time allowed to complete work on a ship in the Gulf, is reduced to three days. In its first five days in the Arabian Gulf Simon Lake completed 1,500 supports. The repair work completed in that time required more than 20,000 man-hours. Yeager is responsible for repairs on seven different ships, but Simon Lake may send fly away teams anywhere in the Arabian Gulf, Indian Ocean, Red Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Europe, Asia or Africa.
