From Update.Ph (Mar 8): US Navy guided-missile cruiser arrives in Manila
United States Navy Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Antietam (CG 54) arrived in Manila for a scheduled port visit Tuesday, March 8. The warship’s crew will participate in community service events and tours, and have time to enjoy Manila.
While many of the crew members are first timers, some are taking this chance to come home.
“I’m excited to go to see my family,” said Personnel Specialist 1st Class Virgilio Minimo. “I’m going to visit the Navy base close to where I grew up.”
“My friend is having a baby shower, so I’m so happy I get to be here for that,” said Logistics Specialist 2nd Class Jamie Jacob, from Manila. “I’m also happy that I’ll get to see my friends and family.”
Antietam is on patrol in the 7th Fleet area of operations in support of security and stability in the Indo-Asia-Pacific. She is forward deployed to Yokosuka, Japan.
