NAPLES, Italy – The U.S. Ambassador to Italy and Commander, U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa, and Commander, Allied Joint Forces Command Naples, hosted a reception aboard the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN 65) during a port visit to Naples, Italy, Oct. 19.
During the reception, the Honorable David Thorne and Adm. Bruce Clingan welcomed Prince Carlo Di Borbone Delle-Due Sicilie, and other distinguished guests, highlighting the continuing partnership between U.S. and Italy.
Capt. William C. Hamilton, commanding officer of Enterprise, and Adm. Clingan each addressed the crowd of military officials and special guests in attendance.
“Thank you for sharing your beautiful city and all of Italy with the over 5,000 Sailors and Marines of Enterprise and (the guided-missile destroyer) USS Nitze (DDG 94),” said Capt. Hamilton. “Besides shopping and eating your delicious food, these Sailors and Marines will be experiencing the rich Italian culture and history on the many tours that have been arranged for us. This is truly an experience of a lifetime.”
Adm. Clingan took the opportunity to thank the carrier’s Italian hosts as well.
“This is a wonderful opportunity for us as the U.S. Navy to express our appreciation to Italy; to thank you for being a wonderful host nation and a steadfast and capable ally,” said Adm. Clingan.
Enterprise has a long relationship with the people of Naples. The carrier made its first ever port visit to the city during its maiden deployment in 1962.
“Since that time Enterprise has visited Naples six more times during our 50-year history,” said Capt. Hamilton. “We all know that much has changed in our long history, but one thing remains true – the Sailors and Marines of Enterprise look forward to the culture and history of this beautiful nation.”
Enterprise is currently on a scheduled deployment in support of maritime security operations and theater security cooperation efforts in the U.S. 6th Fleet area of responsibility.
