 After 26 years of service, the guided missile frigate USS Ruben James departs from its home port in joint base Pearl Harbor Hickam for its last deployment before being decommissioned. I'm in the ship is 26 years old. We're excited. We've worked hard to get here. The sailors are ready. I'm ready. Everybody's ready. We're ready to go. This seven month deployment is going to be used to help Ruben James sailors prepare for going to their next commands after the ship decommissions. We're going to get better. We're going to be doing a lot of training. We want our sailors to depart Ruben James and go to the different other commands and ships on the waterfront and hold our name proud. Say, hey, that was the Ruben James sailors. Reporting from Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam, I'm Petty Officer Dustin Sisko.
