Spirit of 1812 Navy Still Visible in Today’s Navy
By George Lammons, CNMOC Public Affairs

 Rear Adm. Jonathan White, commander of the Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command, told the
members of the Kenner Rotary Club that the spirit of the Navy that helped win the War of 1812 is alive and well
in today's Navy, 200 years later.

"Warfighting is our first priority," White said. "We always
have to be ready to respond. We operate forward."

White's address, on April 18, coincided with Navy Week
New Orleans and The War of 1812 Bicentennial
Commemoration events in New Orleans. The events were
part of a series of city visits by the Navy, Coast Guard,
Marine Corps and Operation Sail that began this month
and concludes in 2015. New Orleans is the first and the
last city visit in the series.

New Orleans hosted 10 U.S. and foreign Navy and Coast
Guard ships, including three Navy warships, USS Wasp
(LHD 1), USS Mitscher (DDG 57), and USS DeWert (FFG
45) as part of the celebration.

when he came into the Navy in the early 1980s, women couldn't
                                             serve on combatant ships. Today, he said to emphasize the
                                             change, the Expeditionary Strike Group visiting the city for the
                                             celebration is led by a woman, Rear Adm. Ann Phillips. In 30
                                             years, the Navy has moved from having no women serving on
                                             combatants to having women lead combatant groups.

                                             "We understand the physical environment better than anyone
                                             else," he said. That expertise gives the U.S. Navy an advantage
                                             when facing opposing forces.

                                             "We want home-field advantage at away games," he said using a
                                             sports analogy. "We don't want to play home games. We like away
                                             games."
