More than 3,000 people gathered on Sept. 18 at the General Dynamics NASSCO shipyard to watch as the Navy christened its newest resupply ship, the USNS Carl Brashear.  The ship was named in honor of Master Chief Petty Officer Carl Brashear, the first African-American sailor to qualify and serve as a master diver in the Navy.
