My story involves a Navy Destroyer, the USS Nitze, which features a
Lockheed Martin Aegis weapons system. I was sent to Bath, Maine, to do some
preliminary work on the Nitze. At the same time, my nephew was there as part of
the original crew. My wife and family were guests and got to see the Nitze
commissioned my nephew was a crew member. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to
attend the ceremony. I was working on another ship in Hawaii. I did get to see
the Nitze again when it sailed into Norfolk, Virginia, after the shakedown
cruise for a round of updating.
