    YOKOSUKA, Japan -- The Los Angeles-class attack submarine USS Bremerton (SSN 698) arrived at Fleet Activities Yokosuka, Dec. 22 for a visit as part of its deployment to the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.<br /><br />The visit strengthens the already positive alliance between the U.S. and Japan through the crews' interaction with the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force. It also demonstrates the U.S. Navy's commitment to regional stability and maritime security in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations.<br /><br />"I think it's important for Bremerton to make one last visit to Yokosuka," said Cmdr. Travis Zettel, commanding officer. "The region means a lot to the United States and its Navy."<br /><br />Bremerton's crew operates with a high state of readiness and is always prepared to tackle any mission that comes their way.<br /><br />"This will be my fifth time spending Christmas in Yokosuka," said Zettel. "I consider it to be my second home."<br /><br />With a crew of 154, Bremerton will conduct a multitude of missions and maintain proficiencies in the latest capabilities of the submarine fleet.<br /><br />Measuring more than 360 feet long, Bremerton is one of the stealthiest and most advanced submarines in the world. This submarine is capable of supporting a multitude of missions, including anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, strike, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance.<br /><br />
