The crew of BEAR salutes Fred for all he did in showcasing our operations and allowing our family and friends to sail with us as we plied the waters of the Mediterranean Sea, coast of West Africa, and Caribbean over the past ten months. After spending 222 of the past 300 days operational, steaming over 37,000 miles, and visiting four continents, the crew of BEAR will be getting a break as we turn our ship over to the crew of HARRIET LANE as part of Atlantic Area's Multi-Crewing Initiative. We look forward to seeing all of our virtual shipmates later this summer when the BEAR's crew sails again. Until then, thanks for your tremendous support. Semper Paratus!
