mates. Our deepest sympathies are with the families of these Sailors. Out of concern for the families and the
notifi cation process, I will decline to state how many we have found at this time. We owe that to the families and friends of these shipmates and hope you can respect this process. We will update you after all notifi ca- tions have been made. We have transferred remains to Naval
Hospital Yokosuka. The families are being notifi ed and will be provided the support they need at this diffi cult time. Please keep them in your thoughts are prayers. Their loved ones are what makes this Navy great, so this loss is something we all do feel. The names of the deceased will be released soon.
Unfortunately we don’t have the details
regarding the conditions during their fi nal moments, but hope that the investigation may shed some light on that matter. At the same time, I want to express my
most heartfelt appreciation to our Japanese allies for their swift support and assistance. Japanese Coast Guard ships and heli-
copters were the fi rst on scene and our fi rst medevac, the ship’s commanding offi cer, Cmdr. Bryce Benson, was accomplished thanks to a JMSDF helicopter. A second medevac was performed for
two Sailors with minor injuries. All three patients are alert and under observation at Naval Hospital Yokosuka. We set up a USS Fitzgerald Emergency
Family Assistance Center within hours, and disseminated the phone numbers to their hotlines through social media and Navy websites. This support center remains open for
chaplain and counselor care indefi nitely, 24/7, on the Fleet and Family Support Cen- ter’s 4th fl oor.
But to be clear: my sole focus now has
shifted to helping the grieving family, crew and friends of the Fitzgerald. The Navy family comes together during
a tragedy, and I want to thank the entire Yo- kosuka community rallying their support in these diffi cult days. Fellow Sailors, family members and civilian members of the Navy team were all out here last night to welcome Fitzgerald home and provide the crew and grieving families with food, blankets, clothes and emotional support. MWR, Port Operations, NEX, USO, the Chief Petty Of- fi cer Mess and many others pulled together to help out. I ask all of you to keep the aff ected
families in your thoughts and prayers, and respect their privacy as we work to get them the answers they deserve regarding their loved ones.
