OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Melissa, how come not all the ships attached to a carrier go out with the carrier? The Benfold is attached to the Reagen and they aren't scheduled to go out for months.

List of Homeports
Homeports and the Ships Assigned
The following is an alphabetical list of the various homeports. Please note that ships stationed overseas in Italy and Japan are forward deployed in those ports, not homeported there. Within each homeport listing is an alphabetical list of ships and their mailing addresses. Ships which are named for individuals are listed by the first name of that individual. For example, USS Dwight D. Eisenhower is listed under the "D" rather than the "E". Ships that are USNS are those operated with a civilian master and crew by the Military Sealift Command.

Looks as though it was an awsome Memorial Day for many in our group!!

Congratulations to your new Petty Officer Candice!! Isn't it a great feeling? You must be SO proud. I don't know what I'd do if my son got orders for Japan, it must cost a small fortune to fly over there.

Karyn: What a terrific surprise! Doesn't get any better than that. Enjoy your Sailor and I am envious of his SD duty station. I wish my son was there.... Have a great Memorial Day celebration.

Keel Laid for future USS Spruance
Release Date: 5/20/2009 10:29:00 PM
By Program Executive Office Ships Public Affairs
WASHINGTON (NNS) -- General Dynamics Bath Iron Works (BIW) laid the keel for the future USS Spruance (DDG 111) during a brief ceremony May 14 at the BIW shipyard in Bath, Maine.
The 900-ton keel unit represents the first "ultra" module to be fabricated in BIW's Ultra Hall facility that opened last year. Ultra Hall stretches 1.5 acres and allows workers to complete construction, pre-outfitting and testing more efficiently and in a controlled climate. Ultra Hall has enabled BIW workers to complete installation of thousands of feet of cable, compartment air tests, water-tight door testing and pipe segment testing which are all normally completed in later stages of construction.
The keel module is the most pre-outfitted and tested at this stage in construction to date. These advancements will be used in future Arleigh Burke- (DDG 51) and Zumwalt- (DDG 1000) class ship construction, which will ultimately lower production costs.
USS Spruance will be the 61st Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer and the 30th built by BIW. The ship will be able to conduct a variety of operations from peacetime presence and crisis management to sea control and power projection. USS Spruance will be capable of fighting air, surface and subsurface battles simultaneously and contains myriad offensive and defensive weapons designed to support maritime warfare. The ship can operate independently or as part of carrier strike groups, surface action groups or amphibious ready groups. The ship's combat system centers around the Aegis combat system and the SPY-lD(V), multi-function phased array radar.
Bath Iron Works expects to deliver USS Spruance to the United States Navy in the fall of 2010.
