As part of the honor, Makin Island can proudly display the 2023 Surface Line Week banner on the ships brow until the 2024 winner is selected.
“Today, we held the closing ceremony for this year's CNSP Surface Line Week,” said Lt. Cmdr. Jeffrey Steiner, SLW coordinator. “This event marks the conclusion of two weeks of fierce competition between 20 commands in 26 separate events. It was great to see teamwork on full display as Sailors tried to earn their commands the title of Surface Line Week Champion. Special thanks to the USO, Command and Event Coordinators, and Admiral Prout Field and Athletic Directors for facilitating Surface Line Week and the closing ceremony.”
The mission of CNSP is to man, train, and equip the Surface Force to provide fleet commanders with credible naval power to control the sea and project power ashore.
