 Vice Admiral Frank Pandoff was relieved by Vice Admiral Phil Davidson as Commander U.S. Sixth Fleet during a change of command ceremony at Naval Support Activity Naples. Admiral Bruce Klingon, Commander U.S. Naval Forces Europe, Africa, was the keynote speaker and said working alongside Admiral Pandoff was a great experience. We must reluctantly embrace that the time has come to bid farewell to an accomplished Naval leader, a leader who has harnessed the immense intellectual capital resident in our staff of military and civilian professionals to shape the operational environment. Following his speech, Admiral Klingon presented Vice Admiral Pandoff with an end-of-tour award which Pandoff attributed to the hard work of military members and leaders. During my time in Naples, I have come to appreciate how lucky I am to have sailed alongside such wonderful shipmates. Please know that when I wear this award, it will remind me of each of you. The kind words that Admiral Klingon spoke a few moments ago don't reflect my performance. They reflect your performance. And as I will say, I have been very, very fortunate to have been part of this team. Upon assuming command as Commander U.S. Sixth Fleet, Vice Admiral Davidson recognized Pandoff for his hard work and dedication. As always, you leave for a large footprints behind you. Thank you for your hard work as Commander Sixth Fleet and as Deputy Navgurand Navav and for your thoughtful advice this past week. Vice Admiral Pandoff will report for duty as Director, Strategic Plans and Policy Joint Chiefs of Staff in Washington. Seaman Matt Wright, Naples, Italy.
