 Friends, family members, plank owners and former crew members said farewell to USS Underwood as the guided missile frigate was decommissioned in Naval Station Mayport. This ship behind me while might leave in a couple of weeks towed up to Philadelphia was really a trend setter. It was an innovator and it was a trend setter and we see the need for that same spirit right now in the Navy. Underwood, the 27th ship of its class began and completed its 30 years in service home ported at Naval Station Mayport. It's a poignant moment for me. I'm very proud of the performance of my crew and I'm extraordinarily proud of the history of Underwood. So it's very special for me to be able to write the last chapter of this great ship's history. From Naval Station Mayport, I'm Perry Officer Marcus Stanley.
