Sea Technology, Mar 2009
The U.S. Navy commissioned the newest San Antonioclass amphibious transport docking ship Green Bay on January 24 at a ceremony in Long Beach, California.
The ship is named Green Bay to honor the nation's Midwest "city by the bay," the Navy said. The city of about 100,000 residents was founded in 1634 by French explorer Jean Nicolet and is the oldest community in Wisconsin.
Deputy Secretary of Defense Gordon England delivered the ceremony's principal address. Rose Magnus, wife of the former assistant commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. Robert Magnus (ret.), is the ship's sponsor.
