SAN DIEGO – Vice Chief of Naval Operations (VCNO) Adm. Lisa Franchetti visited amphibious assault carrier USS Tripoli (LHA 7) Jan. 30, 2023.
The VCNO is the second-highest ranking commissioned officer in the United States Navy.
While aboard, Franchetti conducted an executive-level meeting with Tripoli’s Commanding Officer, Capt. John Kiefaber, Executive Officer, Capt. Gary Harrington, and Command Master Chief (CMDCM) Matthew Logdson, as well as leadership from Destroyer Squadron 23, USS Preble (DDG 88) and USS Charleston, Blue Crew, (LCS 18).
Kiefaber said the visit was a great honor and an opportunity to showcase the surface Navy’s capabilities to senior Navy leadership.
“It is always great to show off our ship,” said Kiefaber. “Hearing Navy leadership’s perspective is extremely valuable and will help us accomplish our mission.”
During the meeting, Franchetti discussed Sailors’ quality of life, service, and maintenance requirements for ships.
“The next major milestone in Tripoli’s service life is our upcoming maintenance availability, and Admiral Franchetti’s visit helped establish a clear vision for Tripoli’s future,” Kiefaber said.
