Happy Birthday, Chiefs! ⚓️

Since 1893, U.S. Navy chief petty officers have led, mentored, and inspired generations of Sailors. With these anchors comes a grand responsibility.  

Navy Chief, Navy Pride! ⚓️🇺🇸

The Dusty Dogs 🐶🍀

While #MightyIKE has been in the shipyards for a planned maintenance period, HSC-7 hasn’t gotten complacent. They train daily in their wide skill set so they can be ready to get underway with the #BestDamnShipintheNavy

Who let the dogs out? 🐶 🚁

The Dusty Dogs of HSC-7 train constantly to stay mission ready. Last week, they conducted several Visit, Board, Search and Seizure (VBSS) drills which sharpened their skills on inserting and hoisting operators on board moving vessels.

Last week, Rear Adm. Dusty Rhodes visited USS Lassen (DDG 82) and USS Farragut (DDG 99) while they were ported in Norfolk, before heading back to their homeport in Mayport, Fl.

Sailors were recognized for their outstanding work and the dedication they bring to the mission daily!

Nothing better than Navy chow! 👨‍🍳

Got Gas? ⛽️

#MightyIKE is ramping up! Earlier this month, Air department’s V-4 division on loaded almost ONE MILLION gallons of JP-5 fuel 💪🏼

Having enough jet fuel onboard is a vital step in getting back operational so IKE can launch and recover aircraft.
