 Commander Naval Surface Forces Vice Admiral Tom Coatman spoke on the future of the Navy's Asia Pacific rebalance at the Sea Air Space Exposition April 9th. Coatman talked about the Asia Pacific Pivot and the Navy's presence in the future. The pivot to the Pacific has been occurring for some years in the surface force. We're at about 56 percent or so of the surface forces that are going to be shifted to the Pacific have already done so. And I think in about three years we'll be up to the mandated 60 percent of the surface forces will be based in the Pacific, either San Diego, Pearl Harbor, Everett, Japan. Coatman added when sailors take in lines from any pier around the fleet or wherever their station oversees, they must be ready to do everything.
