NAVAL BASE KITSAP-BREMERTON, Wash. (Jan. 12, 2017) – Capt. John Ring speaks during a change of command ceremony on board USS Nimitz (CVN 68), where he was relieved by Capt. Kevin Lenox. Ring oversaw the largest work package executed in a planned incremental availability outside of dry-dock, as well as an expedited inter-deployment training cycle during his tour from 2014 to 2017. Lenox will oversee Nimitz through the Board of Inspection and Survey (INSURV) and Composite Training Exercise (COMPTUEX), which will certify Nimitz, Carrier Strike Group 11, Carrier Air Wing 11 and Destroyer Squadron
