 The SACNAV held an official ship naming ceremony on June 11th at the Pentagon for the future Arleigh Burke class destroyer USS Paul Ignatius. DDG 117 honors the former secretary of the Navy and assistant secretary of defense. The Ignatius will be in our fleet for three to four decades. It will be a reminder of the experience, the wisdom of Paul Ignatius. I don't think I have to tell you how grateful I am to you for this honor of having a ship named after me. As I said, I was overwhelmed when I learned about it and I'm grateful to you and to the Navy. Mavis also recently announced the names of three joint high-speed vessels, USNS Yuma, Bismarck and Burlington, two littoral combat ships USS Billings and Tulsa and a destroyer USS Daniel Inouye.
