Simpson
USS Simpson (FFG 56) briefly visited Charleston, S.C., March 19, 2014, as the ship and crew prepare to return to their homeport of Naval Station Mayport, Fla., following a routine deployment. The Simpson moored at Union Pier Terminal in downtown Charleston to embark family members to ride the ship back to Mayport as part of the Navy’s Tiger Cruise Program. A Tiger Cruise provides the opportunity for the crewmembers’ family and friends to see what the U.S. Navy does on a day to day basis. Per naval instruction, a Tiger is usually any relative or friend (but not girlfriend/boyfriend, fiancée or spouse) of a crew member. (U.S. Air Force photo/Eric Sesit)
