  • The USS America on Track to the Future: an Update from Captain Hall
    USS America Second Line of Defense! ! http://www.sldinfo.com/the-uss-america-on-track-to-the-future-an-update-from-captain- !hall/! The USS America on Track to the Future: An Update from Captain Hall 2013-12-05 We first met with Captain Hall at the time of the christening of the latest large deck amphibious ship for the USN-USMC team. Recently, we were able to discuss the progress of the ship and the next phase of the ship’s preparation for deployment. The Captain is an experienced CRUDES officer. For those of us not raised in the USN, this means an officer with Cruiser-Destroyer surface fleet background. And for Navy folks he would be described as a “black shoe” as opposed to a “brown shoe.” Again for those of us who have not served in the USN, this refers coming from the surface ship community rather than the aviation community. Credit Video of USS America during the builder trials: Huntington Ingalls, November 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKDyvjek0BY He has served as the chief engineer on a Spruance class destroyer and most recently was a Captain of a DDG. And in his last deployment with the DDG, he deployed with the USS Kearsarge as well in the Indian Ocean. It is important to remember that Admiral Halsey, when he went into the hospital before the Battle of Midway recommended that his surface ship Commander (a “black shoe” in Navy parlance) Admiral Spruance take command of Task Force 16, the USS Enterprise and USS Hornet battle group.
