 Welcome to All Hands Update, I'm Petty Officer Jonathan Pancall. These are your headlines from around the fleet. The guided missile cruiser USS Veligolf entered the Black Sea to promote peace and stability in the region on Wednesday. Veligolf's presence builds on the collective security of NATO allies and partners in the Black Sea. The Navy's forward presence in European waters improves maritime readiness and strengthens partnerships with regional allies. The Norfolk-based cruiser is deployed on a multi-mission role in the U.S. six-fleet area of operations. In the fifth-fleet area of responsibility, the Navy has forward-deployed advanced airborne laser technology. This is the maiden deployment for the airborne laser mine detection system. The laser-driven system works like radar and is operated by sailors from Helicopter C Combat Squadron 26 Detachment 2. The technology detects, classifies and localizes floating and near-surface moored mines.
