Now hear this!!

I just got this word....My grandson ,poopeye, was sent temporary assigned duty to USS John C Stennis (CVN 74). Looks like he will be making the upcoming deployment. There is a shortage of his rating aboard CVN-74. He's an Operations Specialist otherwise known as a "Radarman". We use to call them scope dopes. I have no idea when CVN-74 will be deploying. But it will be soon..very soon.

 

[Bombardier]

Congratulations to your Grandson mate, I wish him all the best in his deployment

 

[bdpopeye]

Thanks! My wife has been trying to figure out when they will deploy. She won't. I don't know and "poopeye" won't say. But it will be soon..

USS John C Stennis (CVN 74) is homeported in Bremerton WA. She is a Nimitz class CVN. The ship was commissioned in 1988.

The ship's namesake was a long time, 41 years, senator from Mississippi. During his Senate career he chaired, at various times, the Select Committee on Standards and Conduct, and the Armed Services, and Appropriations Committees.

USS John C Stennis went to sea on Saturday in preparation for an upcoming deployment.

USS Hue City (CG 66) rescues fishermen

Release Date: 3/27/2018 5:25:00 PM
By By Ensign Nicholas Vandiver, USS Hue City (CG 66) Public Affairs Officer
ATLANTIC OCEAN (NNS) -- Guided-missile cruiser USS Hue City (CG 66) rescued three fishermen March 27 off the coast of Georgia.

At approximately 4 a.m. Hue City was notified by the U.S. Coast Guard and guided-missile destroyer USS Mitscher (DDG 57) that a small craft in their vicinity had issued a distress signal and needed assistance.

Hue City Commanding Officer, Capt. Jake Douglas, and the ship's crew turned to the last known position of the distressed vessel, fishing vessel Barbara Lynn, and began the search. Approximately 20 minutes later, the cruiser's lookout spotted the flashing strobe light of the life raft and its three passengers

Hue City deployed their Search and Rescue Swimmer, Sonar Technician (Surface) 3rd Class Nathan Andrade, a native of Stockton, California, who swam to the life raft and assisted in attaching the rescue harness to each passenger. The ship recovered survivors using medical litters and a rescue davit.

"When I woke up to the call that someone needed to be rescued, I was just praying to God that everyone was safe," said Andrade. "Thanks to great teamwork from the boatswains mates and everyone else willing to help, we were able to save everyone and bring them on board safely."

Two hours after receiving the distress call, all three passengers were aboard Hue City with no significant injuries.

Following the rescue, the recovered personnel were transferred by an embarked helicopter from Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron (HSM) 70 to Naval Station Mayport, Florida, for further assessment and treatment.

"The Hue City team did a great job this morning," said Douglas. "They showed their excellence in seamanship and exemplified the Navy Core Values. We are glad to have been able to assist fellow mariners at sea."

Hue City is underway supporting Carrier Strike Group 4 Task Force Exercise 18-2.

The size of the US Navy Carriers never ceases to amaze me, I think the new British Queen Elizabeth class are about 2/3 the size and they are the biggest we have ever built

I just talked to my grandson, poopeye, and he's been on liberty in San Diego since Saturday. He's having much fun. He's Temporary Assigned Duty aboard CVN-74 for training. The reason is so he can get trained up for his rating. I think he will be aboard CVN-74 until June....don't quote me on that...I love to talk to him..I really do...sniff...sniff...
