 Commander Naval Surface Force Atlantic visited Naval Station Rota Monday. The visit was held to help ensure a smooth transition for home-porting four destroyers in Rota as part of forward-deploying naval forces. Next month, USS Donald Cook will be the first destroyer to arrive as part of SECDEF's strategic plan for the area. This is a building block for the first inaugural reception of the first of the destroyers to come here and to be stationed here in Rota. The building block is we're going to discover a lot of things that these ships will want to do more to expand their capability and their readiness. And what the great news is, is everybody's on the same page. The move will provide rapid response capabilities and security to the European and Mediterranean region and support the NATO Alliance. USS Ross, Porter and Carney will be in Rota by 2015. From the Defense Media Activity, I'm Petty Officer Ian Cotter.
