 Admiral, United States Navy, arriving. Admiral Harry B. Harris Jr. relieved Admiral Cecil D. Haney as commander of U.S. Pacific Fleet during a change of command ceremony on Joint Base Pearl Harbor, Hickam, Oct. 16th. Under Cecil's leadership, the 2012 RIM of the Pacific Exercise was the world's largest and most successful international maritime exercise. It was with 22 partner nations that come together. Admiral Harris is now the 34th Pacific Fleet Commander. Ladies and gentlemen, our President and our Secretary of Defense are clear. As a nation, we will rebalance to the Pacific and we will work closely with our allies and partners in the Indo-Asia Pacific region. Pacific Fleet is responsible for approximately 180 ships, 2,000 aircraft, and 125,000 sailors and Marines. In 2014, the command will once again host the world's largest maritime naval exercise.
