My division gifted me as a farewell the underway steamer flown the last 2 weeks of our March patrol to the East China Sea. It flew while I conducted my last sea and anchor details as Navigator, and my only inbound transit into Yokosuka as Officer of the Deck. I’ve loved being NAV and this tour has been simultaneously the most challenging, but the most rewarding last couple of years. I’m so grateful to my division for teaching me and working with me to try to master the art of navigation — every detail (96 of them!) I’ve learned something new. Looking forward to continuing our stay in Yokosuka for the next couple of years at ATG. #navigator #fdnf #usnavy #ddg65 #usflag #americanflag (at U.S. Naval Base Yokosuka, Japan) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv4BVDvhje71qRTGEnfGLZX6RdD8jr-jC-leZA0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1oj8vkegr9y61
