150219-N-KL846-027 PACIFIC OCEAN (Feb. 19, 2015) - Capt. Jon Rodgers, commanding officer of the amphibious assault ship USS Makin Island (LHD 8), uses an amateur (HAM) radio to speak to Capt. Barry "Butch" Wilmore, the current commander of the International Space Station. The broadcast was made possible by NASA aerospace engineer Carl Martin, the father of Marine Cpl. Daniel Martin, who is riding the ship during its "tiger cruise" out of Hawaii. Makin Island, the flagship of the Makin Island Amphibious Ready Group, is returning to home port San Diego following a seven-month deployment to the Western Pacific and U.S. Central Command areas of operation.
