We wanted to take a moment to thank U.S. Navy Boatswain's Mate 2nd Class Zachary Lang from Harker Heights, Texas for his service on board the guided-missile destroyer USS Stockdale!

In the photo above, he observes the flight deck of the guided-missile destroyer USS Stockdale (DDG 106) during flight quarters in the Arabian Gulf, Jan. 10, 2019.
