NEWPORT, R.I.
(Sept. 20, 2016)
Midshipman Zachary Mullins and Midshipman Dylan Rabbitt, both assigned to U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, N.Y. explain the functions of the expeditionary fast transport ship USNS Carson City (EPF 7) to delegates attending the Chief of Naval Operations' 22nd International Seapower Symposium (ISS) at U.S. Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island. More than 180 senior officers and civilians from more than 110 countries including many of the senior-most officers from those countries' navies and coast guards, are attending the biennial event Sept. 20-23. This year's theme is "Stronger Maritime Partners," and will feature guest speakers and panel discussions to explore the common security challenges of maritime nations. First held in 1969, ISS has become the largest gathering of maritime leaders in history and provides a forum for senior international leaders to create and solidify solutions to shared challenges and threats in ways that are in the interests of individual nations.
