Stennis Space Center, Miss. (June 25, 2021) Rear Adm. Ron Piret commander, Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command (CNMOC) offers remarks during the change of command ceremony, Friday June 25. Piret emphasized the importance of the people who comprise all of naval oceanography and their execution of the overall mission. “Not only are we ensuring safe operations, but we are maximizing the fleet’s ability to operate where and when it chooses,” said Piret. “Rightfully, we pursue innovation and technology that advances those efforts, but make no mistake, it is the expertise and dedication of Sailors and civilians, the human element, which has remained the cornerstone of naval oceanography’s success and sustained our relevance in maintaining maritime superiority.” (U.S. Navy Photo)
