USS Ronald Reagan Arrives Home Port in San Diego Festive Ceremony
The USS Ronald Reagan docked in San Diego Bay amid a carnival atmosphere and a ceremony honoring the late President Reagan. Nancy Reagan made her first public appearance since his funeral, praising the ship as a living legacy. The event featured Hollywood touches, a whale-themed display, and a fireworks finale. The carrier, commissioned last year, has a crew of 3,600 and toured from Norfolk, Virginia, before reaching California. Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz called it a symbol of valor and freedom.
