YOKOSUKA, Japan (May 16, 2018) - Seaman Dale Gibson, from Deltona, Fla., left, and Seaman Kylan Morgan, from Columbus, Ohio, row a small craft between the ship and the pier. Members from the Deck Department on the 7th Fleet flagship USS Blue Ridge (LCC 19) used the small craft to reach the lowered port side anchor to perform corrosion preventative maintenance. Blue Ridge and her crew have now entered a final upkeep and training phase in preparation to become fully mission capable for operations.
