    The Hampton Roads Naval Museum, in proud partnership with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the City of Norfolk and Nauticus hosted a massive naturalization ceremony aboard the USS Wisconsin (BB 64). A record number of service members from the US Navy, US Army and US Air Force received their naturalization certificates on the fantail of the iconic battleship. The Honorable Henry Coke Morgan, Jr., United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of Virginia, presided over the ceremony. Virginia Van Valkenburg, Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, presented the candidates for naturalization. Additionally, the National Anthem was performed by Fotu Misa, Immigration Services Officer with USCIS; and the event’s guest speaker was Taneisha Kelly, Immigration Services Officer with USCIS. The event was attended well attended, and is the first event of its size held aboard the Wisconsin in nearly a decade. Candidates for naturalization were from the Philippines, Jamaica, Ghana, Nigeria, China, Vietnam, Congo, Kenya, Federated States of Micronesia, Togo and Burkina Faso.
