From The Cargo Letter - June 12 2011 - Malibu's NavyThe affluent, beachfront city of Malibu in western Los Angeles County, California, United States, with a population was 12,645 and home to movie stars, now sports its own navy, as the AEGIS guided missle destroyer USS John Paul Jones DDG 53 made a one-of-a-kind port call on the June 11 - 12 2011 weekend for Navy Days. The 505-foot-long guided missile destroyer is a member of the U.S. Third Fleet, based in San Diego. "Ships like this don't normally visit open ocean piers," said City Council member Jefferson "Zuma Jay" Wagner. "It's very, very rare. They usually dock in a harbor. This has never been done before in the city of Malibu." Tours of the vessel for all were conducted by shore boat over the week end. The vessel is named for America's greatest naval hero -- American Revolutionary War Captain John Paul Jones. Only In California The 505 Foot USS John Paul Jones DDG 53 Is Showcased Behind Two of Malibu Navy's More Numerous Coastal Patrol Craft Your Editor Turned Out With The Entire Town To Welcome USS John Paul Jones DDG 53 On Malibu Pier The John Paul Jones Crew of 338 Experienced Some Malibu-style R&R During The Special Weekend End And Were Guests of Honor At A Private Barbecue. In The Words of Malibu"If you happen upon any of these fine men and women, please do extend your hand in gratitude for their dedication and service. It means so much to them to know that when they are deployed overseas, their family is supported by all of us so let's give them that memory to hold onto during the time they are separated. Buy them a cup of coffee, send over a dessert but of all that each of us could do it's the extension of gratitude that they hold close wherever they are. And a few adopt-a-soldier dinners will be held" |
