This holiday season aboard Ralph Johnson was one to remember! A special shoutout to our CMC
for stepping in as Santa Claus and bringing smiles to everyone-young and
old alike.

On Christmas Day, our duty section proudly stood the watch to keep the ship
and mission safe. While on duty, they were able to come together for a
Christmas dinner, sharing a meal and camaraderie in the true spirit of the
season.

From our ship to yours, thank you for an outstanding holiday season and
continued teamwork as we sail into the new year.

🇺🇸"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly." - Theodore Roosevelt🇺🇸

On this , we reflect on the dedication and hard work of the men and women of the RalphJohnson (DDG 114). Roosevelt's words resonate deeply with the daily lives of our Sailors, who bravely face challenges, learn from their experiences, and tirelessly serve our nation. From the engine room to the bridge, their commitment to is unwavering. We celebrate their efforts, their resilience, and their devotion to the mission. Happy 4th of July to our crew, their families, and all Americans!
