 Welcome to our hands-up date, here's what's happening around your Navy. The Navy announced several changes to the projected Latoral Combat Ship class over the next five years. The changes will simplify manning, stabilize testing, and increase overseas deployment availability. Phase 1 will begin this fall, transitioning to a blue and gold rotating crew, similar to those found on ballistic missile submarines. Sea Bees from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 4 participated in joint construction operations in support of CARAT 2016. They built a schoolhouse for local students while building friendships and strengthening partnerships. Navy's from 16 nations come together to participate in KAKADU 2016 in Darwin, Australia. The multinational exercise focuses on humanitarian assistance, search and rescue operations, and maritime warfare scenarios. You can read more about what's happening around your Navy at Navy.mil.
