PEARL HARBOR (Aug. 14, 2014) Traditional Hawaiian dancers greet the crew of the guided-missile destroyer USS Preble (DDG 88) upon the ship's arrival at its new homeport at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam. Preble replaced the guided-missile frigate USS Reuben James (FFG 57), which was decommissioned July 18, 2013. Preble will serve as a middle Pacific surface combatant to aid and reinforce maritime operations. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Johans Chavarro) |
