“Underway, Shift Colors!” 🇺🇸

Last week, USS Winston S. Churchill commenced its deployment with the Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group 12.

Before getting underway, the crew hosted families onboard for breakfast, tours, and final farewells.

We are especially thankful to all of the families who unconditionally support our Sailors as they embark on this journey.

Until we meet again, Fair Winds and Following Seas! 🌊⚓️

Current Sailors and Families of Sailors attached to USS WINSTON S. CHURCHILL may request access to the Ombudsman page (USS Winston S Churchill DDG 81 Ombudsman) where they can have access to any necessary information and resources. There was a recent effort that only active Sailors and their Families were included, so if you’ve found yourself or your family to be removed, please request access again by answering the security questions and agree to the rules. Security questions include providing the Sailor’s name/rate/rank and PRD as well as affirming they agree with OPSEC. We apologize for any inconvenience to those inadvertently removed. The Ombudsmen Hayley Wiles and Alicia Lawrence are available as resources to the families. They can be contacted via email at [email protected].
