Greetings from the Commanding Officer
Welcome to PCU JASON DUNHAMS’s Website! On behalf of our entire crew, we hope you enjoy your visit to what will be the Navy’s most advanced warship, when our ship’s construction is complete. We are honored to be the first ship named after Corporal Jason L. Dunham, a Medal of Honor recipient and one of the Marine Corps great self-sacrificing heroes. Our ship’s motto, “Semper Fidelis, Semper Fortis” embodies Jason’s incredible service and sacrifice, and reminds all who will sail on JASON DUNHAM of the courage, resolve, and leadership we all strive to achieve.
If you are a Sailor who has orders to JASON DUNHAM, congratulations! We are deeply proud to have you join our crew. We have placed a number of links on this web site to help you in your transition to our ship and look forward to welcoming you in person when you arrive. Family readiness is one of our top priorities, so please let us know how we can help you and your family in any way.
Regardless or whether you are a Sailor enroute to our ship or merely interested in a ship named after one of the Marine Corps great heroes, thank you for visiting and we wish you fair winds and following seas!
Sincerely,
Scott Sciretta
Commanding Officer
USS JASON DUNHAM (DDG 109)
