YOKOSUKA, Japan - Rear Adm. Chris Cavanaugh, commander, Submarine Group 7,
visited the crews of the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers, USS
McCampbell (DDG 85), USS Dewey (DDG 105), and USS Ralph Johnson (DDG 114),
July 9, to congratulate them on their successful operations supporting the
undersea domain.
"Undersea Warfare in the Indo-Pacific takes more than just submarines. It
is a multi-domain and often multi-national team effort that includes air,
surface, and subsurface forces," said Cavanaugh. "I want to thank every
member of the crew, across every department, because I know it takes every
one of you to complete the ship's mission. You are all valued members of
that undersea warfare team."
McCampbell, Dewey, and Ralph Johnson are forward-deployed and assigned to
Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 15, the Navy's largest DESRON and the U.S. 7th
Fleet's principal surface force.
"Destroyers are imperative to the anti-submarine warfare mission and provide
the theater undersea warfare command relevant and real-time decision making
space," said Capt. Justin Harts, commander, Destroyer Squadron 15. "All
three crews helped enable the full-spectrum of capabilities for the
anti-submarine warfare mission, and we commend them for their performance.
Destroyers in DESRON 15 continue to be cornerstones in maintaining a free
and open Indo-Pacific."
During the visit, Cavanaugh thanked all three crews and presented letters of
commendation to
