210727-N-AC165-0002 (July 27, 2021) – Able-bodied Seaman Nadia Macasaet works in the deck department aboard USNS Walter S. Diehl (T-AO 193). Macasaet explains her role aboard the vessel. "As an abled-bodied seaman, I am tasked to not only safely navigate the seas but also to operate safely and efficiently under sometimes difficult weather conditions during fueling and cargo operations. As a member of the deck department, duties can range from preservation of the ship itself to the handling of lines during arrival and departure operations, and operating large and small machinery from fork trucks to lifeboats."
Macasaet is the first in her family to sail in the maritime industry. “I’ve always been comfortable on the water and found the idea of traveling around the world for work to be a huge plus.”
MSC provides on-time logistics, strategic sealift, as well as specialized missions anywhere in the world, in contested or uncontested environments. Diehl is one of 15 fleet replenishment oilers that make up MSC’s Combat Logistics Force.
