U.S. Navy Chaplain (Lt. Cmdr.) Fred Holcombe serves some 3,500-5,800 sailors on the USS Enterprise. Chaplain Holcombe assists Enterprise crew members with any kind of issue they might have—ranging from a sailor who’s run afoul of his chain of command, to helping someone salvage or maintain a marriage, to even talking some sailors out of committing suicide. He also leads chapel services as well as officiating at memorials. PAGE 37: Chaplain Holcombe leads a special service on the ships’s deck.
