AFA Cadets visit USS Carney DDG-64
Recently, several AFA cadets had the pleasure of visiting USS Carney (DDG-64) while the ship was visiting Tampa. The Carney is the Navy’s 14th Arleigh Burke Class Destroyer. Built at the Bath Iron Works in Bath, Maine, the ship was named after Admiral Robert B. Carney, an influential leader during World War II and the years following. The Carney was commissioned in Mayport, Florida, where she is now homeported. Hosting our cadets was the ship's First Lieutenant- Ensign Mark Hebert. Mark is a 2001 graduate of Admiral Farragut Academy and a 2005 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy.
