 In Cairns, Australia, the U.S. 7th Fleet held a change of command ceremony onboard USS Blue Ridge. I am both humbled and grateful to now be able to say why yes, I served in the 7th Fleet. Vice Admiral Robert L. Thomas Jr. relieved Vice Admiral Scott H. Swift during the ceremony. Formal change of responsibility, but it is really a celebration of Admiral Swift and Trish's great service to the 7th Fleet and to the nation over the last two years. And as the new commander, my guidance to you is steady course and speed. Reporting from Cairns, Australia, I'm Petty Officer Brandon Dugan.
