00:00.504 --> 00:01.668
^- Welcome to All Hands Update.

00:01.668 --> 00:03.133
^I'm here in Galveston, TX on board

00:03.133 --> 00:04.478
^the newest ship of the fleet,

00:04.478 --> 00:08.216
littoral combat ship, USS Gabrielle Giffords.

00:08.216 --> 00:12.011
^- The navy has named ships after great battles,

00:12.011 --> 00:16.178
^presidents, cities, states and a lot of navy heroes,

00:19.472 --> 00:22.389
but we also name ships after heroes

00:23.192 --> 00:25.442
to our navy and our nation.

00:26.983 --> 00:29.816
This wonderful lady is inspiration

00:30.457 --> 00:32.397
to every single one of us in uniform

00:32.397 --> 00:36.564
and every single one of us who lives in this great country.

00:37.613 --> 00:40.209
There's been a lot of discussion up here already

00:40.209 --> 00:42.505
about the value that this ship brings

00:42.505 --> 00:45.327
to the United States Navy and the nation,

00:45.327 --> 00:48.074
in both preventing and deterring war,

00:48.074 --> 00:49.592
but also if we have to go to war,

00:49.592 --> 00:52.578
we're gonna kick somebody's you know what, and when,

00:52.578 --> 00:55.971
and it's because of ships like this and crews like this.
