Military Sealift Command fleet replenishment oiler USNS Tippecanoe (T-AO 199) arrives at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii. The arrival marks the first time, in at least 20 years that Tippecanoe has operated in the Navy’s THIRD Fleet area of operation (AOR).

Tippecanoe arrived in Pearl Harbor following transit from the Navy’s SEVENTH Fleet where they have been providing logistics services to ships in the AOR. Following a loadout of supplies and fuel, the ship is scheduled to travel back to SEVENTH Fleet where they will await future tasking in support of Navy operations.

MEET MSC’s NEWEST CIVMARs

Please join us in welcoming a husband-and-wife team, Third Assistant Engineer James Dunagan and Second Officer Brittany Dunagan, to our MSC Family!

We are thrilled to have this dynamic duo bring their incredible talent and energy to the civil service mariner community. Spending just five minutes with them reveals how deeply their faith guides their lives. This is evident in their mutual respect, passion for their roles, and daily commitment to growing alongside their new shipmates.

Both are Kings Point graduates. Brittany graduated in 2024 with a B.S. in Maritime Logistics and Security and James is a 2025 graduate with a B.S. degree in Marine Engineering Systems. They both are also in the Navy’s Strategic Sealift Officer Program – Brittany holds the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade and James is an Ensign.

James first sailed onboard USS Mount Whitney as a cadet and shared his positive experience and sold the idea to Brittany to sail as a civil service mariner with Military Sealift Command.

Eager to serve their country, this young husband and wife team hope to deploy together aboard a Combat Logistics Force ship. There, they look forward to playing their part in supporting U.S. Navy warships at sea.

In his spare time, James loves working on his great-grandfather’s 1965 El Camino—a classic, second-generation Chevrolet coupe-utility vehicle. Together, he and Brittany share a passion for travel and exploring new environments. “Seeing how immense God's creation is through different ecosystems, cultures, and landscapes firsthand is by far one of my favorite activities,” Brittany shared. This shared love for exploration makes them an ideal fit for traveling the globe with MSC. By aligning their daily labor with an appreciation for humanity, their devotion to service will naturally uplift morale and enrich their journey as CIVMARs.

Welcome aboard, James and Brittany! We are thrilled to have you support our country and our fleet.

Today, aboard USNS Comfort (T-AH 20), we honored the memory of those lost on Sept. 11, 2001, and reflected on the courage, sacrifice, and unity that defined our nation in the days that followed.

Keynote speaker Tom Van Leunen, former Military Sealift Command Director of Congressional and Public Affairs, shared his personal experience as a survivor of the Pentagon attack, offering a powerful reminder of the resilience shown that day and in its aftermath.

USNS Comfort holds a special place in that history. In the wake of the attacks on the Twin Towers, the ship deployed to New York City to support recovery efforts, providing critical medical capability to those serving on the front lines of one of our nation’s darkest days.

Today, we remember the lives lost, honor the heroes who answered without hesitation, and reaffirm our commitment to service.

What an amazing day at Cal Poly Maritime Academy today!

We want to say Bravo Zulu to Cadet Zion Jerge who was recognized by Rep. John Garamendi during the Bay Area Maritime Summit, for selflessly putting himself last and saving the lives of two people from drowning.

Rear Adm. Benjamin Nicholson, Commander, Military Sealift Command, had the opportunity to meet with Jerge and present him with a command coin for his heroic efforts.

It’s bravery like Jerge’s that bolsters unity and teamwork, ashore and at sea.⚓💪
