Midshipman 1st Class Nicole Samella, from Virginia Beach, Virginia, and a senior at Virginia Military Institute, poses for a photo after selecting USS Delbert D. Black (DDG 119) as her first ship assignment during the Naval Reserve Officers' Training Corps (NROTC) biannual ship selection ceremony hosted by Navy Personnel Command (PERS-41) Surface Warfare Officer Assignments, Feb. 25. Samella was the first midshipman to select a ship and chose the guided-missile destroyer, homeported in Mayport, Florida. For 100 years, NROTC has been one of our Nation’s proven Foundries of Navy and Marine Corps Officers – forging leaders who are united in purpose, resilient in spirit, and committed to ensuring that our Navy and Marine Corps Combat Team remains ready to fight and win tonight, tomorrow and well into the future.
