 USS Green Bay returned to port at Commander Fleet Activity's Sassabo after four months at sea to be greeted by the smiling faces of fellow sailors, families, and friends. The weather is great. We are happy to have them home. Excited. Wish they could get off the ship a little bit faster, but yeah, it's been a while. I'm excited to see them. Not only were family and friends excited to see them, after an arduous deployment, the crew was ready to be back in Sassabo. What I miss most about Sassabo is the culture, because you never really know what you're missing until you leave here and experience other countries that are not as inviting. During their voyage, Green Bay participated in exercise Blue Chromite. The operations were a combined effort between Green Bay and more than 500 Marines.
