The 6th Fleet Flagship USS Mount Whitney (LCC6) deploys to Morovia, Liberia, in 2006 to support the inauguration of President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. Along the way, they encounter a fishing vessel in distress and render assistance. This is your military - you own it- performing humanitarian missions and using their might to support growing democracies. Here's the cruise wrap up video.

  • 1:15 somethings out of place can YOU find it

  • hey anybody know someone named darryl sutphin well hes my dad and he served on this boat

  • my dad was on this boat

  • DP's were in OS division, OPs Dept from 75 through 77 when I was the Division Officer on Fat Albert. They sure have changed that rig since those days, removing the missile and gun mounts, adding all sorts of stuff on deck. It's longer than it was, too. And there were no women on board except for one who wrote our computer program who'd come out now and then to trouble shoot it.

  • What's the deck below after mooring called? When I was assigned to her, it wasn't there, of course it was added during dry dock at some point along with being outfitted with side arms, and having the missile pods and the 3 inch .50 cals removed. I used to stand GQ in the port turret loading the hopper.Also being outfitted with updated life rafts.

  • My old home from 1980 to 1983. I sure do miss her. And from the website, she's still LCC 20.

  • yay i made a model of this ship :D

  • my old ship form 1981

  • I was the MTW when she was known as LCC-20 between 1983 and 1986. Good ship--good times!

  • I was on that deployment. They have me in the video loading the .50 cal machine gun. The best part of that trip was the port visits to the Canary Islands and Dakar, Senegal
