Norfolk, Va. (Nov. 6, 2006) -- Almost 300 crew members aboard the
guided-missile destroyer USS Ross (DDG 71) returned to homeport at
Naval Station Norfolk. The Ross returned after a six-month deployment
in support of Operation Active Endeavour (OAE) in the Mediterranean Sea
as part of Standing NATO Maritime Group 2 (SNMG-2). While on deployment
Ross worked with more than sixty NATO and non-NATO ships from Israel
and Russia and submarines and aircraft from England, Greece, Italy,
Turkey and the United States. The deployment was designed to be
flexible and provided presence and strike power to support joint and
allied forces afloat and ashore. U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communications
