PIERRE, S.D.(DRGNews)- Another group of sailors that have been assigned to the United States Navy’s USS Pierre (LCS38) littoral combat ship are in South Dakota’s Capitol city this week, learning about their ship’s namesake.
Commissioning Committee member Mike Mehlhaff, Jr., told the Pierre City Commission that the group had a busy day Tuesday.
If you feel like volunteering, Mehlhaff says there’s another opportunity for the public to meet the sailors Thursday afternoon.
The USS Pierre is an Independence-variant littoral combat ship, home ported in San Diego, California. It has been undergoing sea trials, which take about one year to complete. Providing she completes them successfully, the Commissioning– or when the ship officially goes on active duty– is tentatively scheduled for early November.
