The following message was sent by Commander of Military Sealift Command Rear Adm. Thomas Shannon.
I offer MSC's sincerest congratulations and appreciation to Ocean Shipholdings, Inc., Crowley Technical Management, Inc., and the officers and crews of USNS JOHN GLENN (T-ESD 2) and USNS GYSGT FRED STOCKHAM (T-AK 3017) for the excellent execution of the sea-basing demonstration during the Pacific Command Amphibious Leadership Symposium FY 2016 (PALS 16) off the coast of Southern California last week.
The expertise, flexibility, and professionalism demonstrated by your Mariners and ashore technical and management staffs during planning and execution enabled participants from the United States and Partner Nations to observe the next step in sea-basing logistics concepts, maritime command and control (C2), and amphibious capabilities of our U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps team in action.
This great demonstration will undoubtedly result in better training and interoperability with our friends and partners throughout the Pacific region.
Please extend my congratulations to your Mariners for a job "Well Done". You delivered, in keeping with tradition of our United States Merchant Marine.
Warmest Regards,
TK Shannon
