USNS Sacagawea

Saturday night was the launch of the USNS Sacagawea, a new Naval T-AKE ship. I had the honor of attending the event:


Walking in with the crowds to the shipyard- there was quite a long line to get in!

We had good seats up on the platform where we could watch all of the guests of honor give their speeches.

Descendents of Sacagawea christen the ship.

Ribbons marked the launch of the ship from dry dock into San Diego Bay. The ship moved fast! In a matter of seconds, the ship became a speck in the distance.
