 The USS Billings LCS-15 can be summed up in three words, sustain superior performance. The ship has been deployed since last summer, now going on 16 months, while rotating blue and gold crews down range to maximize on station time. Billings executed the first East Coast LCS exchange of command outside the continental United States back in April, along with the first continuous maintenance availability outside the US. The Thundercats of Gold Crew have built upon the successes of their maiden deployment and tripled their narcotics interdiction numbers, while also transiting the Panama Canal, sailing into the Pacific, crossing the equator and operating in the Southern Hemisphere all for the first time in the ship's life. The crew visited five different countries and conducted naval exercises with the Jamaican Defense Force, worked alongside our naval partners in Ecuador and participated in the French-led maritime exercise, the CAROBS 2022. We were also able to host the US Ambassador to Jamaica for a ship visit. The crew demonstrated joint capabilities by working with our brothers and sisters in the US Army, assigned a Joint Task Force Bravo. The crew, along with our embarked air detachment, performed superbly working with our Coast Guard law enforcement detachments to counter the narcotics threats in Central and South America. Our diverse mixed-gender crew represents over 25 states in four international countries and does well in drawing from the strength and determination of the hard-working Americans who live in our proud namesake magic city of Billings, Montana. We are proud to lead the way for the LCS community and demonstrate the capabilities of sustained operations downrange. The crew is excited to return home to reunite with family and friends while our sister crew takes back over and keeps the mighty Billings operating downrange. Huya team Billings, Huya Navy.
