This is the first time the honor has gone to a small command, and no wonder - the small crew had an unprecedented number of events and gatherings. Despite an unforgiving workload and long hours while the ship was in drydock at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard, the crew remained focused on arranging countless activities and family gatherings. Tim Domrose, chief of the boat. This program helps build morale and cohesiveness. It allows us to give something back to the Sailors.
Plans are in progress for a deep-sea fishing charter, private pilot s certifications and more.
Mark Ginda, USS Pasadena commanding officer. It's all done by the Sailors. This year's committee inherited a strong MWR program. While the boat was undergoing an extensive maintenance period, the committee members were determined to raise money for the fund. Pasadena's biggest fundraisers were the ship's store and food sales.
