 USS Ross, one of three Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyers for deployed to Naval Station Rhoda, has returned for scheduled maintenance as part of a four-month patrol. As the ship pulled into the familiar location, some very familiar faces were anxiously waiting. We're very excited. The daddy's coming home. It's been nuts because we PCS from Washington, D.C. ourselves so this has been lots and lots of work so we're very happy to have him back. USS Ross, USS Porter and USS Donald Cook will continue to conduct patrols to support a strong U.S. forward presence. From Naval Station Rhoda, I'm Corporal Tony Nardiolo.
