 USS Los Angeles officer selected for achievement award
Release Date: 8/26/2005

On Aug. 5, the Hispanic Engineer National Achievement Awards Corporation (HENAAC) announced that Lt. Gabriel Anseeuw of USS Los Angeles (SSN 688) was selected as Luminary honoree.
The award ceremony is slated to take place Oct. 7 in Los Angeles.
The navigator of the nuclear-powered, attack submarine homeported at Pearl Harbor said he was honored that he was selected. “I was pleasantly surprised. My executive officer put me in for the award, but I didn’t think I was going to get it.”
When Anseeuw was 10 years old, his family moved from Puerto Rico to Miami. His father is French and his mother is from Cuba. Growing up in Miami, he said he was raised as a Cuban-American.
After graduating from high school, he enlisted in the Navy in 1991. He said he was encouraged by a leading chief petty officer to seek a commission. “I knew when I joined the Navy I was going to [do] something in engineering. The day before my college orientation, I decided to go the Navy recruiting office and I enlisted as an electrician’s mate. My chief back in 1991 had me apply to the Naval Academy,” said Anseeuw.
Since then, the Naval Academy graduate has never looked back and is determined to make the most of his career opportunities in the Navy’s submarine force. “The best thing about the submarine community is the people. It’s not an automated submarine. People run it and the spirit of the ship is the crew. They’re a great bunch of guys,” Anseeuw said.
Anseeuw encourages fellow submariners to pursue their dreams. “It’s just a matter of understanding there are opportunities out there. Many more than you probably know about - commissioning programs, scholarships, tuition assistance, you name it, it’s out there.”
Anseeuw said information about the programs is the key to success and it’s very easy to find, thanks to the Navy’s Web site. “The Navy.com Web site will do wonders for you. It lists programs that I never knew about and that have been around for years.”
As a submariner, he has set his sights at one day commanding his own attack submarine. “I want command of my own ship. Command at sea - that’s where it’s at,” concluded Anseeuw.
According to the executive officer of USS Los Angeles, Lt. Cmdr. Michael Brunner, Anseeuw is an invaluable asset to the submarine. “His dynamic leadership abilities, exceptional foresight and endless supply of personal energy turned a struggling and inefficient department into one of the best performing navigation teams in the entire Pacific submarine force.”
Brunner added that he is also an asset to the Hispanic community. “In his assignment prior to USS Los Angeles, Lt. Anseeuw served as an officer recruiter and as the head of enlisted recruiting programs in Jacksonville, Fla. where he made significant contributions to the Hispanic-American community. At every stage of his career, Lt. Anseeuw would look for new ways to improve the career development of Hispanic Americans.”
Bertha Haro, HENAAC’s manager of development administration, said Anseeuw was an excellent candidate for the award. “He is a superior navigation and operations officer who sets high standards of excellence and leadership. In his prior assignment, one of his greatest accomplishments was empowering Hispanic Sailors to advance their careers by becoming naval officers,” said Haro.
Haro added that Anseeuw has become a mentor for many aspiring submariners. “The HENAAC Luminaries are individuals who have made significant contributions in the Hispanic technical community and have inspired our youth to pursue careers in the technical fields.”
