Warner Wilson, safety officer, third from right, and Mike Cook, Military Sealift Command ship’s master, all assigned to the submarine tender USS Emory S. Land (AS 39), observe the lowering of a rigid hull inflatable boat into the water in the Ulithi Atoll, May 19. Ulithi Atoll played a pivotal role in U.S. strategy during World War II, serving as the base of operations for the battle of Leyte Gulf and invasion of Okinawa. Emory S. Land is paying homage to the site while on deployment supporting the U.S. 7th Fleet, the U.S. Navy’s largest forward deployed numbered fleet, operating with allies and partners in preserving a free and open Indo-Pacific region. Emory S. Land provides expeditionary intermediate-level maintenance, services, and logistics support to deployed submarines.
