 The container ship MV Cape Ray and her crew deployed this week from Portsmouth, Virginia. Cape Ray is part of a DOD initiative to assist in the neutralization of serious chemical weapons. Sektev said the deployment is the first of its kind as chemical weapons have never been destroyed on a vessel at sea in international waters. Back on the home front, the Naval Academy's ship selection ceremony is Thursday. Commanding officers, command master chiefs and other special guests will be there to greet them at Shipman.
