Sailors aboard guided-missile cruiser USS Gettysburg (CG 64) kicked off a partnership with Southeast Regional Maintenance Center (SERMC) Oct. 27.
The partnership is designed to increase self-sufficiency and material readiness at the shipboard level and is intended to last throughout the Gettysburg’s current maintenance availability.
During the course of the partnership Gettysburg will send six Sailors to spend 30 days with SERMC technical experts to work on various ships around the Mayport, Florida waterfront. The investment of time and energy into training the Sailors is intended to increase their level of knowledge working toward shipboard self-sufficiency and improved material readiness.
SERMC is a shore command responsible for ship maintenance, fleet technical support and Sailor training throughout the southeast.
