During its stay in Indonesia, the USS Blue Ridge welcomed winners from an Embassy Twitter contest to tour the ship, the 7th Fleet band performed live music in Jakarta, and the sailors participated in community service activities.
The USS Blue Ridge, flagship of the U.S. Navy's Seventh Fleet, arrived in Indonesia May 11 for a goodwill visit and activities with the Indonesian Navy.
The USS Blue Ridge has been based in the Western Pacific since 1979, and its home port is Yokosuka, Japan. During an arrival ceremony for the ship and its approximately 620-person crew, Capt. Daniel Grieco thanked the Indonesian people for the warm welcome the ship received.(*/DWA/IGT/T007)
