 USS Arlington was commissioned April 6th at Naval Station Norfolk. A welcome addition to the fleet. Arlington represents our country's newest generation of amphibious warships. The ship is named for Arlington County, Virginia, and honors the first responders to the Pentagon and the 184 victims who died when American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon September 11th, 2001. Today, we commission USS Arlington, a living tribute to those who perished on the grounds of the Pentagon. Arlington is the eighth in the Navy's San Antonio class of ships designed to be the most survivable amphibious vessels ever put to sea. From the Defense Media Activity, I'm Seaman Tony Rosa.
