NAVAL BASE SAN DIEGO – (July 10, 2019) Alison Smith, principal of Midway High School in Waco, Texas, looks through a bearing circle of a gyro pelorus at the Navigation, Seamanship and Ship-handling Trainer (NSST during an Educator Orientation Visit (EOV) hosted by Navy Recruiting District (NRD) San Antonio. Smith was joined by seven other Central and South Texas educators and counselors, along with support personnel from NRD San Antonio. The EOV is a Navy Recruiting Command (NRC) program with a main focus of showing educators the various facets of America’s Navy and the many career paths available to students. Additionally, the group visited Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron SIX (HSC 6), USS Alexandria (SSN 757), Special Warfare Combatant-Craft Crewmen (SWCC) Training Center, Naval Medical Center San Diego, Pacific Beacon Housing, the Fleet Readiness Center, and the Navy's Undersea Rescue Command, among others. NSST is a state-of-the-art bridge team trainer designed to replicate the environment found on the bridge of a Navy ship and utilizes life-like scenarios with visual simulations to train Navy bridge teams. NRD San Antonio’s area of responsibility includes more than 34 Navy Recruiting Stations and Navy Officer Recruiting Stations spread throughout 144,000 square miles of Central and South Texas territory. The USS Fort Worth is a part of the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet and is the first to bear the name of the nation's 16th largest city. The ship can travel in depths less than 20 feet and reach speeds in excess of 40 knots. The ship is designed to be agile and maneuverable as part of the Navy’s warfighting arsenal (U.S. Navy Photo by Burrell Parmer, Navy Recruiting District San Antonio/Released)
