An incredible underway period in harm’s way. 275 days is a very long time. Thank you shipmates for your service and sacrifice. That’s what our Navy is all about!

My dad was on the IKE when I was a kid. I remember going and picking him up from the ship. Being a little kid the ship was massive. Being an adult it is still massive.
