CNO Holds All Hands Call
Navy News | December 07, 2007

Washington D.C. -- Sailors and Navy civilians attended an all hands call held by Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Gary Roughead at Henderson Hall Dec. 5.

Roughead talked about current issues and answered questions from the crowd.

He spoke about the Maritime Strategy and its significance to the Navy and its partners. He also explained the role the Navy will play in the Maritime Strategy.

"We are going to remain a global Navy," said Roughead. "We are going to remain a forward-deployed Navy. And it's from that forward-deployed capability that we have that we are going to be able to influence events and deter actions that are not helpful to the safety, security and prosperity of our country and other countries around the world."

Roughead talked about the significance of the strategy being a concentrated effort between the maritime services to provide prosperity and peace for the United States and partner nations and the importance of the strategy being cooperative and inclusive to build partnerships with other nations to increase trust.
