 USS Germantown returns to Sassabow after their spring patrol. While on patrol, the Germantown participated in cooperation of float readiness and training. Our main mission for Germantown during this patrol was to conduct carrot. It's an opportunity for us to operate both offshore and at sea with our allies. Sailors stayed focused on the mission by looking out for one another. Just keeping each other motivated, being motivated about everything we do. That's what the Navy is about, keeping us motivated and doing the job right. With their return home, sailors on the Germantown enjoy some time off with loved ones. I am relieved to be back home, coming back to my mom. I'm super static, I'm ready to get a good break in. Petty Officer Derek Allen, Fleet Activities Sassabow, Japan.
