Boatswain’s Mate Seaman Recruit Najaire Dedricks verifies bearings of surrounding vessels with a telescopic alidade aboard U.S. 7th Fleet flagship USS Blue Ridge (LCC 19) while underway in Sagami Wan, March 9, 2026. Sailors stand lookout watches to maintain a continuous watch of the sea and report any kind of hazard that can cause harm to the ship. Blue Ridge and embarked U.S. 7th Fleet staff conduct regular Indo-Pacific patrols to deter aggression, strengthen alliances and partnerships, and advance future warfighting capabilities.
