Pacific Ocean (Apr. 20, 2004) -- The command ship USS Coronado (AGF 11) moves across the Pacific Ocean during a routine underway period. Coronado is serving as the temporary command ship for Commander, U.S. Seventh Fleet while USS Blue Ridge (LCC 19) is in a scheduled dry dock maintenance period. Besides serving as a temporary command ship, Coronado is also experimenting with a unique manning concept.  The crew is made up of MSC civilian mariners and a small group of Sailors, designed to replace the 481 Sailors normally assigned to Coronado.  The combined MSC/Navy crew of 263, and some augmentees from the Seventh Fleet flagship Blue Ridge, support the embarked Seventh Fleet staff.
