YOKOSUKA, Japan (April 12, 2021) — Capt. Rich Jarrett, Commander, Fleet Activities Yokosuka (CFAY) commanding officer checks the overall appearance of a browned butter sweet potato hand pie during CFAY’s Dessert Bake-off. Jarrett was called in as the tie-breaking vote between the sweet potato pie and a chocolate strawberry cupcake during the competition held at Kosano Park. Rear Adm. Brian Fort, Commander, U.S. Naval Forces Japan/Commander, Navy Region Japan challenged Navy installations across Japan to create an American dessert inspired by Japanese ingredients. The event was designed to highlight the continued relationship between the U.S. and Japan, and as a way to say thank you for Japan’s continued kindness and hospitality for the Navy communities across the country. For 75 years, CFAY has provided, maintained, and operated base facilities and services in support of the U.S. 7th fleet's forward-deployed naval forces, tenant commands, and thousands of military and civilian personnel and their families.
