 It states that they have the best selection of the best in the year to go for it. And so this is what they're asking. And I'm surprised that they have the most ships in the year to go. So I think it's a perfection. If you're not making a lot of 60% of those ships that exist right now will be still in existence about 20 years from now. But we'll be publishing a fair amount of different ships that we've already started with the USSR law, which will be commissioned in about two years, which is a complete offensive system in any system that we've ever... Our next class of ships will be very, very modular in how they deliver their capabilities. And it's a pretty exciting future for us. So we'll talk about ships as our next class of ship. We just finished with the border of the first one, the USSR's border to Singapore. And what's different about these ships is they're designed to stay for more than 18 months. So we have three crews with three captains for every two hours. And one of them is always four. So these ships are large ships, but they're literally made up of these. So to answer your question directly, having 78 crews will increase the number of command opportunities for the surface warfare officers out in the future. Which is intense, isn't it? Actually, it's the easiest way to describe it. But it's an attempt by the surface warfare community to develop a command. This primary duty is to successfully distribute it and train it across the U.S. much like top-down does for an area where warfare has to be very successful. And I think when you get a lot of that for the surface warfare community, so what I'm going to do is start this next summer. The officer or a letter officer that works aboard a ship is that they have to... They walk on board with a certain amount of respect that's going to the officer. And he has this duty. They've got to work hard to build upon that respect and increase their professional knowledge and train their peers and their support and to the folks that we've asked them to lead with respect and debate in the same way. Officer, Senator Lake. Senator Lake, R&B's but shipman, ready to get the show started. You're going to get the show starting by judging by the energy and mayhem auditorium tonight. I'm pretty sure these ships have been helping weight the long time for this tonight. Well, let's get this party started. We have the staff, friends and family, classmates, insurance, members of the program, the shipman, most importantly, surface warfare officer selectees of the great class of 1991, plus 23, and it is, I guess, bigger by several, Tom Coleman, commander of Naval Service Forces. Now, what happened is that, apparently, this is his career. And Senator's command is implanted. He has been called. He was just 65, just to our squadron, 28. We're deployed to seek out my commander with George Washington, the care striker, to be ready to help and support operations in Rocky and in doing freedom. The show already has served in a variety of key staff positions, including director, maybe Senator Lee Hazel, and the Office of Leadership Affairs. She's the staff of Naval Service Forces. Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations and Training for U.S. Pacific Fleet. Commander of Joint Task Force, Montana will make you, but in most recent weeks, Chief of Leadership Affairs. He's here tonight to help us celebrate this unique day of look at movement and to lead us and bear witness to this important personal and professional milestone. And the rise of our newest crop of features from this war for senior officers. So thank you very much for taking time on your business, Nigel. Ladies and gentlemen, by several equipment. We're getting a cease-to-war. So I'll take questions afterwards and eventually look at it. This is my second time. I've been ready to make a live show because that's the frustration. In travel restrictions, I was ready to be able to work. Which was the first time I'd been here. It was pretty interesting and very, very much an important thing. My experience hit the officer at the age of 18 or 22 with it. See your chief partner has to go. I grabbed the gear on the ship on a popsicle stick and hit it. This isn't much, much better when you're doing this. I think it's pretty exciting because, you know, as we discussed at the table, I think all the old sea dogs in here will be able to fly with it. It's the right where it's on. Your first ship is going to be very, very special to you. You're going to remember it for the rest of your life. And then I decided I really wanted to be a service worker. So it's kind of our family business. My grandfather was as well. So it's always been very enticing to me to go to sea. And I'll tell you, there's nothing better to me. I still, I have trained places with you right now. It's something that we're going to regret to see again. And that stands for the surface Navy in particular. It's existential to the United States. I think we have been since the very first day this republic was founded. There's a lot of natives out there in the world. There's a few up there that have aircraft carriers and a few only that have submarines. But there's not a lot that are out there that cause itself and they don't have surface ships at all. And existential to the United States, no matter what happens to the rest of the fleet or the rest of the budget. So we do a very, very important job keeping the sea lines of communication open across the world. And so we're out there when we need to be here. And so it's a very, very important, very difficult to me to get trained up and get in our profession. Most of you sit here. And a little less than probably 30 or 40 months after you got here and sit there waiting 32 years and it's been fantastic. And I really do wish I could trade places with you. The responsibility is that there's been some changes. I think we'll exceed anything that you've been using in the civilian community. And for space, they've not been damaged. So it's very, very equal. So yes, I think a couple people asked me about it. We have four answers on it, but we'll see. I got a response to it from you. The surface Navy is a very, very big. It's 73% of the commission ships in the United States. There are forces around the world. They start when it comes to selecting the shipping brand, and back. Hitchhipping the bikes, works USS Saxon, shipping Justin Staat, shipping jobs like CSA Joseph, Next up, shipping Alfred Petrie, it's like a taraf wired truck. It's like a taraf wired truck. Hitchhipping the trains, life,ラ兒호, it's like nothing, it'll be first in Japan. Hitchhipping prime, it's like U.S. A taraf wired truck. Hill Dodson. Hitchhickin Dodson's life's been set for the first to choose her ship. How are you feeling tonight? What ship did you book? Hitchhickin Fisher's life's been set for the first bit of man. Next up, Hitchhickin Polly kissing. Hitchhickin Essence likes the USS Messings, how to say a name. Next to pick, Hitchhickin Lindsay Dolly. Hitchhickin Dolly likes USS New Regina, what a network for husband and the country of the Callister was set for the first by Alorex, on the city of California. Next to select, Hitchhickin Jirard River. Hitchhickin River is set for the first to choose as Michael Murphy and Because we've done our jobs here with the shipies. We are so proud of our soldier and proud of our sons. And it doesn't matter. It's all good. And it was a link in their ships. They're going to be part of a huge part of what it is we do for the modern government, and not just for Japan. It is a new policy. And there are many controls to see, because there are first-class conversations from the Senate. Chairman, Josh, you want to hold a brand? Chairman, not a brand select, because it's not a dog. It's still select. It should be the Audrey Gower. And it's supposed to be a proud. It should be Julianne Everest. It's a small area. It's got a proud place in that decision. And what is it? Is it surface warfare? It's an awesome decision. And they're going to learn so much about leadership from the first and the second board. So my advice to them would be to do the same type of work that they did to get them from the Academy to listen to your chief, chief body officer. Time to energy selection. Mine was a little bit more solo, actually, to nice form of celebration. And at this fair again, behind the wall is just elected fathers and folks that are not first-class, probably second-class youngsters. They're all up there in the rafters and sure, and they're following the shipment on. And then I took a lot of the shipment here, had plenty of gear, so you know what? I was going to expect them to make the best of vision in that shift. So what I would think is a challenge would be is to make sure they articulate to their people what every one of them is special. And that, that entire division is doing something extremely important in the mission of the ship. And then that's the biggest challenge and having as far as just what they will find out going on their ship. It's a legislation without defy. And the reason why they don't get the shipment here is like, so as you see it, you know, they post the demand next to them. But you can try and win. You can try and select yours as John's because you know they post the demand. Sir, how do you feel about being for tonight? Tonight's a great day. You know, last time I was here in 1995 when I'd been flying for a ship. And you can see the excitement on the faces of the shipment here. The same thing. So I know a lot of the boats who are on their knees are starting to arrive. And we're still to the point that you're waiting. So I'm excited to tell them what's in their future. We're just very excited to get to know them so. Okay. So do you have any advice for these? We can charge right away. Oh, that's a pity. The service is getting here a little later from the awesome experience. And I have blessing. And, besides, USS Merigot it's going to be John Phelps, and selects USS Wendy Byer, and at the State Jaguar Concorde. And we're going to be James Thomas. Thomas, selects USS Mitchburg, and then they'll be more important. It's an exciting time for surface warfare to realize that there's 244 ships and this is the future of the mixed generation of leadership in the surface community. They realize that they're taking, this represents their next step in their professional development. months every single man on the walk-out process stage is going to be a lot more of a ship meeting the sailors and what they're doing. That's pretty exciting to think about. And it's also exciting to see other people like me come back. And so it's the past. It's us coming together in the present and we can also see it in the future in a while. Our community is going to be a little bit different for us. Nobody did this kind of interview. The process itself is pretty similar. Once we selected for surface warfare, we kind of did it all one night. So you went from one dip live and then you got in the surface warfare live and you had the same big work of first ship, which is a pretty exciting moment. Every city in the blue of the country. And so as I began to think about it and investigate, join the Navy, the first pictures that I saw and the first things I found out were ships, destroyers. And so throughout my time here at the Naval Academy, I have ships. And so I was excited to be in the chance to think of something that really they step on more than first ship. So they're, they're staying in front of the division and work center and they're leading ships. And that's a big responsibility. They also get the chance to learn on board the most technologically advanced ships. And so one of the great benefits to Navy is, well, when it starts on day one and it continues, in my case for 27 years is the chance to learn something new every day. And that's a great opportunity to just say, always have an insatiable sense of professional curiosity. Every time you step aboard the ship, every time you're going to change to stand in front of sailors, learn something. Those sailors are great technicians and leaders in the right way. They can teach detailed officers. They can help them develop and grow. And I would say it's just a reminder that this night we remember this place that they came from. They have taken it off. They've even separated a commission from day one of their officers in the United States now. It's a tremendous responsibility. It's a tremendous privilege and pleasure. It should be walkers like those as well as the San Diego, California, who makes the select. It should be Natalie McFarlane. It should be McFarlane, so I chose this ship. It should be Darlin Christopher. It should be Christopher, so I chose this ship. It's been a San Diego, California. It should be Melissa Kim. It should be Ken, so I chose this ship. So I was in San Diego, California. It's currently selected. It should be Alexa Rizzo. It should be Rizzo, so I chose this ship. I'm going to stand here and go next up. It should be Gabriella Scherer. It should be Jerry, selects, chooses, for the United States, and Diego, California. It should be Dorothy, selects, chooses, being, for the United States, and Buffalo, Virginia. It should be Charlotte, over here close to the Bay. Next to Big. It should be the element, that makes the USS stock deal in the San Diego, California. It should be Kelsey Shavak. It should be Shavak, selects, chooses, letting off. It should be Darlin, selects, chooses, doing, and a San Diego, California. It should be Hans, selects, chooses, Blue Ridge.

It should be K&A, selects, chooses, San Diego, California. California, California, it's been urban, slights versus New Orleans and the San Diego, California, it's been Shawn Murphy, it's been Murphy's, it's been Bryce Boyer, it's been Boyer's, it's been Calphe's, it's been Carson's, it's been Manhattan, Every Washington appears to be deaf and white. It should be white, selects USS DeKetter on his San Diego, California. I chose the U.S. that was smaller first for me. I'm just into the ropes better than coming today from here. It should be Romeo, selects USS New Orleans on the San Diego, California. It should be Taylor, sent us. It should be the Senate, selects USS Russell on the San Diego, California. All first, selects USS Mitchell on the Buffalo, Virginia. Next, the select, it should be Patrick Taylor. It should be Taylor, selects USS San Antonio on the Buffalo, Virginia. All of it should be Paul Winston. It should be Winston, selects USS Romney on the San Diego, Washington. All of it should be Barclay Walther. It should be Walther, selects USS Graydon LCS for 101. It should be the last selects USS Carl Vinson on the San Diego, California. Carl Vinson, it's an inspirational enthusiasm, just the joy of watching the ship that picked their ships and picked their future. They was very different ships that just opened up to women while I was out inapolis, so there were only seven ships available for women. I hope that everybody else was either going to be supplying more attention, so I'm at the seventh of the seven ship slots. So it was very exciting for me. I just wanted to get to see. So I had to go back to the opportunities that had happened. It should be Warner, selects USS America on the San Diego, California. It should be Morgan Lawrence. It should be Lawrence, selects USS Macadone on the San Diego, California. It should be Ben Allager, selects USS Kersar on the Buffalo, Virginia. It should be Jack DeBest. It should be Brandon Carter.

I should have been driving a USS West in, Atlanta, because it's a good place. I should have been right on 100. I should have been on my flight, but I should have been up to 150. Because it's four words, and here. I should have been driving a USS West. I should have been driving a USS West, I should have been driving a USS West in, I ship it to Boston Arena.
