EN2(SW) Laryan O. Sims, from the USS Whidbey Island (LSD-41) re-enlisted today in-front of members of his command and his family. The ceremony took place aboard the USS Wisconsin (BB-64), and was hosted by the Hampton Roads Naval Museum, part of the Naval History and Heritage Command. The Wisconsin is a popular venue for military ceremonies throughout the week for area commands; she is one of four Iowa-Class Battleships that was commissioned during WWII and is moored permanently next to the Hampton Roads Naval Museum as a museum ship. Whidbey Island is the lead ship of her class of dock landing ships. She was commissioned in 1985 and is home ported at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story. The museum proudly hosts military ceremonies, such as re-enlistments, retirements, and promotions for area commands aboard the USS Wisconsin and in the museum’s gallery. To inquire, contact their special events coordinator, Tom Dandes at Thomas.Dandes@navy.mil or call (757) 322-3106. (US Navy Photo by Max Lonzanida/Released)
