Acting Navy Secretary Thomas Harker attended a ceremony with a Medal of Honor recipient at a private shipbuilder on Tuesday before visiting a public shipyard that overhauls and maintains submarines.
The namesake of the future USS Harvey Barnum Jr., an Alreigh Burke-class destroyer, joined in the keel-laying ceremony at Bath Iron Works.
Barnham, who was honored for his bravery in Vietnam., and his wife participated in the ceremony marking the start of construction and harkens to the days of sailing vessels when construction began with a keel upon which the ship is built.
