Vernon participates in exercise
Navy Fireman Keat K. Vernon, son of J.L. Vernon of Pecos, recently participated
in Exercise Cooperative Partner '99 off the coast of Bulgaria while on
a six-month deployment to the Adriatic and Mediterranean seas and the Arabian
Gulf while assigned to the guided-missile frigate USS Elrod.
The exercise involving forces from Bulgaria, Georgia, Greece, Romania,
Turkey and the United States was geared towards cooperation and understanding
in addition to addressing and overcoming the challenges present in working
with different navies who possess different equipment, language and tactics.
Vernon's ship is a combatant ship designed to protect amphibious expeditionary
forces, underway replinishment groups and merchant convoys from undersea
attack. In addition to torpedoes, frigates carry helicopters that have
sonar and torpedo capabilities, expanding the ship's reach.
The 1996 graduate of Georgetown High School joined the Navy in November
1996.
