Good Morning To The Lair

The guided-missile destroyers USS Pinckney (DDG 91), *USS Chung-Hoon (DDG 93)* and USS O’Kane (DDG 77), the guided-missile cruiser USS Lake Erie (CG 70) and the
guided-missile frigate USS Reuben James (FFG 57) sail near Waikiki Beach in Pearl
Harbor, Hawaii, July 29, 2008, in honor of the centennial of the Great White Fleet.

The Great White Fleet was the nickname for the U.S. Navy battle fleet that completed a circumnavigation of the globe from Dec. 16, 1907, to Feb. 22, 1909, by order of President Theodore Roosevelt.

*USS Chung-Hoon (DDG 93)* is my grandson's new ship assignment for the coming
deployment of "Easy Riders" of Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron (Light) (HSL) 37
*GO NAVY**
