September 30 2009: A fond Farewell to the USS Nashville LPD 13. After 39 years in service, this ship was decommissioned today. This was Shane's first duty station, so it will always hold a place in our hearts. Shane will miss climbing the mast to repair the radar! (his most favorite job, especially on the open sea....not joking, he loves it.)A link to the local news station in Norfolk for more on the ceremonies.
