 Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus honored Department of the Navy commands that have implemented innovative energy and water efficiency improvements. We're on a path to create a new energy future which will increase the security of this country because that's what the United States Navy and the United States Marine Corps have always done. One winning command, the USS Macon Island, is the first Navy ship to deploy using a hybrid electric propulsion system. You would burn approximately 42 barrels an hour when the electric drive was enabled at five knots. Our sister ships were using significant larger as in 300 barrels. The SecNAV Energy and Water Management Awards are held yearly to recognize commands striving to meet the Navy's energy goals. From Washington, I'm Petty Officer Alex Snyder.
