NAVAL SUPPORT FACILITY DEVESELU, Romania - DEVESELU, Romania (Aug. 7, 2020) Cmdr. John Fitzpatrick speaks at the U. S. Aegis Ashore Missile Defense System Romania (AAMDS) change of command ceremony in which Cmdr. Mike Dwan relieved him of his role of commanding officer. The ceremony was conducted at Naval Support Facility Deveselu, Romania, Aug. 7, 2020. Change of command ceremonies are a time-honored naval tradition where the crew formally acknowledges the passing of the command from the current commanding officer to the next. U.S. 6th Fleet, headquartered in Naples, Italy, conducts the full spectrum of joint and naval operations, often in concert with allied and interagency partners, in order to advance U.S. national interests and security and stability in Europe and Africa.
