NEW ORLEANS —— The city of New Orleans hosted Navy Week 2022 and U.S. Naval Meteorology & Oceanography Command (Naval Oceanography) attended with a full static display on the Julia Street pier next to the Arleigh-Burke-class destroyers USS Farragut and USS Lassen, USCG Cutter Daniel Tarr, and French Naval Vessel La Combattante, April 18-22.
The weeklong series of events kicked-off Monday with a formal press conference attended by the Mayor of New Orleans—RDML Ron Piret, Commander, Naval Meteorology & Oceanography Command—and other U.S. Navy and Coast Guard commanders.
Piret spoke during Monday’s press conference, addressing the history of Naval Oceanography’s presence in the Gulf Coast region.
“We [Naval Oceanography] are honored to be part of New Orleans Navy Week,” he said.
Naval Oceanography has been in the city of New Orleans’ backyard for almost a half-century, headquartered at NASA’s Stennis Space Center in Mississippi since the 1970s.
“For many of our Sailors and Civilians, New Orleans is their actual home and we take pride in the heritage and culture of the Gulf Coast,” Piret continued.
