Road Trip: Naval Station Newport, Rhode Island

The Naval Station Newport (NAVSTA Newport) is a United States Navy base located in the towns of Newport and Middletown, Rhode Island. NS Newport is home to the Naval War College. It once was the homeport for Cruiser Destroyer Force Atlantic, and now maintains inactive ships at its pier facilities, along with the United States Coast Guard.

In BRAC 2005 (Base Realignment and Closure), NAVSTA Newport gained over five hundred billets, in addition to receiving, again, Officer Candidate School (OCS), and the Naval Supply Corps School, and several other activities.

Newport is the Navy’s premier site for training officers, officer candidates, senior enlisted personnel and midshipman candidates, as well as conducting advanced undersea warfare and development systems. Naval Station Newport’s mission is to fulfill the diverse requirements of its tenant commands by providing the facilities and infrastructure that are essential to their optimum performance.

Newport is the home of the Navy’s most prestigious educational institution, the Naval War College. As the oldest such institution in continuous existence any-where in the world, the college is organized to pursue and integrate both academic and research endeavors. Each year, over 500 outstanding mid-career level officers of the Navy, all other U.S. services, civilian federal agencies and inter-national naval officers come here to pursue a rigorous 10-month course of post-graduate studies.

Currently, the station is also the home of the decommissioned USS Saratoga. The fate of the Saratoga has not yet been decided, although there is a movement which wishes to make the ship into a museum ship in nearby North Kingstown.

Patriots Memorial is located in front of McCarty-Little Hall at the Naval War College, Naval Station Newport, Rhode Island. The memorial is dedicated to the three students and ten alumni of the Naval War College who perished in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on The Pentagon. The Naval War College Foundation raised money for the memorial through private donations. It was dedicated in 2002 and contained a piece of limestone removed from the damaged portion of The Pentagon.

You kind of lost me on this one. The Fallon Naval Station (NAS Fallon) is in Fallon Nv. Did I miss something?

Great road trip, Galz! Thanks for your hard work!

Lauren must be off on her own road trip or is working MUCH too hard! :)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...hope the day saw you feeling better.

We are starting another heat wave, working up to 37 or so by Friday and freezing rain next week. *sigh* I hate this warm weather.

[TASMANIANRED]

I see they tried to break you on the rack today.

Good evening, fellow Night Owls!
Hope you all had a grand day,
and are now relaxing at home and hearth!
I guess Big Guy doesn't have a hearth in Hawaii! LOL!

Marine Veteran Sings Verse Four Of Our National Anthem

Veterans Render Honors To Our National Colors

“Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.”

From “Ulysees” by Alfred Lord Tennyson

HONOR YOUR VETERANS
Through Their Service And Sacrifice, They Have Preserved Your Freedom!

LOL! Nope, you didn’t miss anything. We didn’t delete enough words from the title of tne new Road Trip. Sometimes it isn’t safe to overwrite an old title.

I will ping the Admin Mod and ask him to take Fallon out of the title.

Please, kind Sir/Madam, would you be so kind as to take “Fallon” out of the title. It is a remnant of a past thread. Thank you.

I hear you guys got some rain?

[ConorMacNessa]

The morning was not good - woke up in crippling pain. Moderated through the day - I thought early on I would cancel PT, but I improved enough during the afternoon that I decided to go. Was barely able to complete the 10 minute bicycle ride at the beginning. Managed to complete most of the exercises. I'm glad I was able to, as fatigued as it left me. It would have been a mistake not to go. The same fun routine Wednesday night.

Sounds like you're in for hazardous conditions with above-freezing temps after all that snow. Be safe!

LOTS of Rain!

thank God!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor...thanks for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

[ConorMacNessa]

LOL! Not far from it!

Truthfully though, my tech is very gentle and does not hurt me. This is the third course of treatment I have been through with her and she can always work me to the point of fatigue without inflicting pain.
