After 24 years abroad, USS John S. McCain calls Everett home

EVERETT — Out of a low-lying fog Friday morning comes a ship. A flag waves in the wind.

As it gets closer, the words emblazoned on the navy background become clearer: Big Bad John. The USS John S. McCain has a new home at Naval Station Everett.

It brings with it over 300 sailors and their families to the area from Yokosuka, Japan, Cmdr. Tin Tran said.

“The emphasis is getting our sailors back meeting their families, reintegrating,” Tran said. “We have sailors that have never been here to the Everett location, just as myself. And we want to be able to know the community and get involved in the community.”

This might have a side benefit of keeping the dotard away. Remember when they had to cover the name of the ship so not to offend him?
