The USS New York: A Symbol of Strength and Sacrifice – At Fleet Week Florida

Fleet Week is an annual event that celebrates the strength and power of the United States Navy. This year, the USS New York is among the four ships that have arrived at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, offering visitors a chance to see the powerful symbol of strength and sacrifice up close. The USS New York is a San Antonio-class landing platform dock vessel, and its primary mission is to carry Marines and equipment anywhere in the world. The ship’s bow is made from 7.5 tons of steel from the World Trade Center, a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made on September 11, 2001. Don’t miss your chance to see this impressive vessel and learn more about the brave men and women who serve our country.

The USS New York, a San Antonio-class landing platform dock vessel, is a powerful symbol of strength and sacrifice for the United States Navy. Its bow is forged from 7.5 tons of World Trade Center steel, reminding sailors of the brave men and women who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. The ship’s primary mission is to carry Marines and equipment anywhere in the world, and its nearly 400 sailors and Marines are dedicated to maintaining its integrity and power. The USS New York serves as a reminder that freedom is not free, and that the sacrifices made by those who serve our country must never be forgotten.

A City on the Sea

The USS New York was commissioned in New York City on November 7, 2009, and its motto is “Strength forged through sacrifice. Never forget.” The ship is a testament to the resilience of the American people, and it carries the spirit of the Big Apple with it wherever it goes. The bow of the ship is made from 7.5 tons of steel from the World Trade Center, a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made on September 11, 2001

Intrepid Mission

The USS New York is a San Antonio-class landing platform dock vessel with the primary mission of carrying Marines and equipment anywhere in the world. The ship can remain undetected and quickly deploy Marines to build combat power ashore before the enemy is even aware. Its sleek design and powerful engines make it a formidable presence on the water.

Heavy Responsibility

The boatswain’s mates, or “bosuns,” are the core of the USS New York’s manpower. These hardworking sailors are responsible for the ship’s overall maintenance and upkeep, and they perform many of the crucial tasks required to put and keep the ship underway. The boatswain is the original “rate,” or job, from which all other naval jobs diverged as sailors’ duties became more specialized.

Never Forget

The USS New York serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made on September 11, 2001. A steel plate recovered from the World Trade Center rubble is displayed above one of the most-used passageways on the ship, and a firefighter’s helmet reminds sailors of the brave first responders who sprang into action that day. The ship’s daily prayer ritual honors someone who died in the attacks, ensuring that the memory of that day will never be forgotten.

Key Takeaways:

The USS New York is a San Antonio-class landing platform dock vessel with a powerful mission to carry Marines and equipment anywhere in the world.

Never forget,” is a powerful reminder that freedom is not free, and that the sacrifices made by those who serve our country must never be forgotten. We must honor the memory of those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, and support our brave sailors and Marines who continue to serve our country today.

U.S. Navy Intercepts Fishing Vessel Smuggling $42 Million in Illegal Drugs

Greetings to all members and subscribers of Americans for a Stronger Navy!

As an organization dedicated to promoting Peace Through Strength, we are proud to share a recent success story of the U.S. Navy in supporting Combined Task Force (CTF) 150 in interdicting a fishing vessel smuggling illegal drugs in the Gulf of Oman.

Content Summary

USS Paul Hamilton (DDG 60), operating under CTF 150, intercepted a fishing vessel smuggling 802 kilograms of methamphetamine and 1,000 kilograms of hashish worth $42 million. The crewmembers of the vessel were identified as Iranian nationals.

Before the Navy and Coast Guard members could seize the vessel, five smugglers attempted to discard 50 bags of methamphetamine by throwing them overboard.

However, some of the bags were recovered. Maritime forces supporting CTF 150 have seized illegal drugs worth an estimated U.S. street value of $150 million in 2023 alone, contributing to the total of $1 billion in value in drug interdictions by U.S. and international naval units in 2021 and 2022.

Key Takeaways:

Iran alleges that it forced a U.S. submarine to surface in Gulf, U.S. Fifth fleet denies

Greetings to all our members and subscribers of Americans for a Stronger Navy.

As an organization, our mission is to promote Peace Through Strength, a valuable central theme that aligns with our goals.

In this blog post, we would like to bring to your attention to an incident that Iran alleged recently occurred in the Gulf involving the United States Navy Fifth Fleet and Iran’s navy. We hope that this story will inspire you to continue supporting our mission and to engage Americans to rally behind the cause of a stronger Navy.

On April 20, Iranian navy commander Shahram Irani claimed that Iran’s navy had forced a U.S. submarine to surface as it entered the Gulf. He said that the Iranian submarine Fateh detected the U.S. submarine approaching while submerged and carried out manoeuvres to force it to surface as it went through the Strait of Hormuz.

According to Irani, the U.S. submarine had also entered Iranian territorial waters but corrected its course after being warned. However, the United States Navy’s Fifth Fleet denied that such an incident had taken place, calling it Iranian disinformation.

Background on Iranian-U.S. confrontations

Iranian and U.S. forces have had a number of confrontations in the past. In early April, the Iranian navy said it had identified and warned off a U.S. reconnaissance plane outside the mouth of the Gulf. In 2019, Iran shot down a U.S. drone which it said was flying over southern Iran.

Key takeaways:

Iran’s navy claimed to have forced a U.S. submarine to surface as it entered the Gulf, but the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet denied that such an incident had occurred.
Iran has had confrontations with the U.S. Navy in the past, including identifying and warning off a U.S. reconnaissance plane in early April 2023 and shooting down a U.S. drone in 2019.

In conclusion, we hope that this story has shed light on the importance of a strong Navy in promoting peace through strength. We urge all our readers to support our mission and engage Americans to rally behind the cause of a stronger Navy. Let us work together to ensure that our Navy is well-equipped and prepared to face any challenge that may arise.

Recruitment Shortfalls and Readiness Issues in the Army, Navy, and Air Force

Sailors man the rails aboard the aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford in June 2021. (Navy)

Hello, and welcome to Americans for a Stronger Navy. At our organization, we are committed to promoting Peace Through Strength. In this blog post, we will be discussing the recent recruiting shortfalls and readiness issues faced by the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Our goal is to inform and inspire our readers, especially those in the Navy, to support our mission.

Summary:

Adm. Lisa M. Franchetti, the vice chief of naval operations, told the committee that their services are doing better than they expected, but that they will still be short at the end of the fiscal year.

Franchetti said the Navy’s readiness is based on people. “We are committed to improving their quality of service and personal resilience, investing in initiatives such as quality housing and childcare, access to the full continuum of mental health care, improved education and an environment free of sexual harassment and sexual assault,” she said. “In this 50th anniversary of the all-volunteer force, we continue to focus on recruiting, retention and reducing gaps in our billets at sea.”

The admiral also spoke of gains in ship readiness and improvements in maintenance. She told the panel that the fiscal 2024 budget request fully funds public and private ship maintenance, aviation depot maintenance, increases parts and spares and continues to grow the highly skilled public shipyard workforce.

Army, Navy, and Air Force won’t reach enlistment goals this year.
Marines and Space Force expect to reach their goals.
Army expects to recruit 10,000 fewer soldiers than their goal of 55,000.
Navy expects to have about 6,000 enlistees short.
Air Force expects to have about 10,000 airmen short throughout the active and reserve components.
Recruitment issues faced by the Army apply to all services, with only 23% of young Americans qualified to serve, and fewer still showing interest.
The Army must focus on warfighting, training for battle, and supporting combatant commands with ready formations worldwide.
The Navy’s readiness is based on people, investing in initiatives such as quality housing, childcare, mental health care, education, and an environment free of harassment and assault.
The Marine Corps is modernizing and producing an even more lethal Marine.

Conclusion:

We hope this blog post has informed you about the current recruiting shortfalls and readiness issues faced by the Army, Navy, and Air Force.

Personnel is the most critical aspect of readiness, and it’s essential to invest in initiatives to improve their quality of service and personal resilience.

As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the all-volunteer force, we must focus on recruiting, retention, and reducing gaps in our billets at sea.

We encourage you to support our mission by subscribing to our organization and becoming an active supporter of a Stronger Navy. Thank you for your time and for supporting our cause.

On April 19, 2023, the U.S. Navy successfully sailed its first drone boat, the L3 Harris Arabian Fox MAST-13, through the Strait of Hormuz, a busy waterway between Iran and Oman. The drone, a 13-meter (41-foot) speedboat carrying sensors and cameras, passed safely through the strait, which is just 33 kilometers (21 miles) wide at its narrowest point. The U.S. Coast Guard cutters, the USCGC Charles Moulthrope and USCGC John Scheuerman, accompanied the drone during its journey

The strait is a crucial waterway through which a fifth of all oil traded passes, connecting the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman. American sailors often face tense encounters with Iranian forces in the area, but this sailing took place without incident, although it drew the attention of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard.

Key takeaways:

The drone, the L3 Harris Arabian Fox MAST-13, passed safely through the strait with accompanying U.S. Coast Guard cutters.
The strait connects the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and is a busy waterway through which a fifth of all oil traded passes.
