PIERRE, (KCCR) — Festivities are underway some 15-hundred miles away for the U-S-S Pierre, the final Independence-Class Littoral Combat Ship to join the U-S Navy with a Commissioning ceremony Saturday morning to welcome the ship to the Navy. Pierre Mayor Steve Harding says while the Commissioning is a big deal for Pierre, it’s just as big for the host city, Panama City Beach, Florida…
The Commissioning is a public event in Florida and Harding recalls being present for the christening of the Pierre last year…
Harding was surprised how invested Panama City is in helping Pierre, the city, celebrate Pierre, the ship…
The Commission is at 10 am Central Time Saturday morning.
