 USS Halliburton returned to its home port, Naval Station Mayport, after a six-month deployment to the fifth and sixth fleet area of responsibility. Halliburton was deployed in support of our NATO operations of Ocean Shield, conducting an anti-piracy mission off of the Horn of Africa and in the Somali Basin for the last six months. To see the tremendous welcome home we have from the basin, all of our families, it is truly great to be home. After traveling over 38,000 miles and conducting 18 underway replenishments, Halliburton sailors finally departed the ship's brow to unite with waiting family and friends. It's been a long six months, I'm glad to be home, glad to be back in Mayport, a little chilly for all the places we've been, but it's good to be back. From Naval Station Mayport, I'm Petty Officer Marcus Stanley.
