KITTERY, Maine (July 19, 2005)--As the last sliver of sunlight gently dips below the horizon, Fireman Michael Caparelli stands waiting for the call to lower the colors aboard the CGC Campbell here, July 19. The Campbell's crew had returned to their homeport here just hours prior. They had been on a counter-narcotics patrol in the Caribbean Sea in which they seized more than 10,000 pounds of cocaine. This particular patrol marked the last aboard the Campbell for current commanding officer, Cmdr. Matthew von Ruden, who is scheduled to attend the Naval War College in Newport, R.I.
