A tear ran down John Prebatte s cheek as he looked over each of the names of the 37 shipmates he lost on May 17, 1987, when two Iraqi Exocet missiles pierced his U.S. Navy ship.
The engineering officer second class on board the USS Stark was at his father s funeral when missiles sparked destruction on the Mayport-based ship during patrol in the Persian Gulf. That s when members of his Navy family died.
But Prebatte was there for them at Monday s memorial to the Stark s dead at the Beaches Veterans Memorial Park in Atlantic Beach. I trained all those guys, Prebatte said, getting emotional. They are gone, but they are not forgotten.

Don Gabrielson, hosted delegates from the Chilean Navy (Armada de Chile) for the 25th annual Maritime Staff Talks (MST) April 1.
MSTs support the U.S. maritime strategy, “Advantage at Sea,” by building and strengthening working relationships between U.S. and partner nations through face-to-face meetings. Each year the host country alternates, however due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the talks occurred virtually via the All Partner Access Network (APAN) and the Combined Enterprise Regional Information Exchange System (CENTRIXS).
“Chile is a strong partner and valued friend,” said Gabrielson. “We appreciate the important opportunities to grow our relationship and capabilities even more in this coming year.”
