Jerome, my son Alex is also on the USS Fort McHenry. Delays in a school usually just means they are waiting for enough sailors to fill a class. It is nothing to worry about. He will class up soon I'm sure. What a school is your son attending?

Avaya, Raytheon Authorized for Navy Ship IP Phone Project...


October 23,2013

The U.S. Navy has approved Avaya‘s Internet Protocol phones for use onboard two amphibious transport dock ships under a systems integration project led by Raytheon (NYSE: RTN).

Both companies carried out a design verification test of the Avaya 9611G IP Phones in order to meet the Navy’s redundancy, reliability and resiliency requirements for ship-based use, Avaya said Wednesday.

The LPD-17 ship program office oversaw the exercise to verify how the phones function with Avaya’s Aura Communication Manager tool.

The phones will be installed on the USS John P. Murtha (LPD 26) and Portland ships.

More than 90 Navy combat and support ships use Avaya’s communication systems for tactical, shipboard communications infrastructure and for support command and control functions.

USS Bonhomme Richard Commanding Officer Relieved

From Commander, U.S. Pacific Fleet Public Affairs

SASEBO, Japan (NNS) -- The commanding officer (CO) of USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6) was relieved of his duties on Oct. 2 due to a loss of confidence in his ability to command.

Capt. Daniel Dusek was relieved by Commander, Expeditionary Strike Group Seven, Rear Adm. Hugh Wetherald.

The relief stems from an ongoing Department of Justice investigation. After careful consideration, Wetherald determined the investigation negatively affected Dusek's leadership ability and was a distraction to the command mission.

Capt. Murray Tynch III, currently assigned as executive officer (XO) for Bonhomme Richard, has assumed duties as commanding officer. Dusek has been temporarily assigned to Expeditionary Strike Group Seven. Dusek reported to Bonhomme Richard as executive officer in April 2012 as part of the XO/CO Fleet Up program and assumed command June 28, 2012.

Forward deployed to Sasebo, Japan, Bonhomme Richard is the flagship of the Bonhomme Richard Amphibious Ready Group. The ship is currently inport Sasebo after recently completing underway operations in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations.
