USS Rushmore Visits Vanuatu

During the visit, the crew provided tours of the ship, allowing visitors the opportunity to see and experience life aboard a U.S. Navy warship.

"We value our partnership with the countries in the South Pacific and are committed to assisting them in enhancing maritime security and keeping the sea lanes open for the benefit of all,” said Rushmore’s Commanding Officer Cmdr. John Ryan. “This event is a unique opportunity for the crew to demonstrate the pride and professionalism of the U.S. Navy and reciprocate the hospitality we receive when we make foreign port calls.”
