"The opening of APL 70 represents a significant occasion for Kearsarge Sailors and the Norfolk Naval Shipyard," said Greene. "This new barge will provide Sailors with better living accommodations during planned maintenance availabilities and aligns with our Get Real, Get Better initiative. We are committed to enhancing the quality of life for our Sailors and are proud to deliver this new, state-of-the-art barge to the Kearsarge crew."
