Sailors that will be stationed aboard a United States Navy ship named after South Dakota’s capital city are visiting their ship’s namesake this week. During the visit, Sailors assigned to the USS Pierre will have the opportunity to learn about the city and history of Pierre. Sailors will meet with the USS Pierre Commissioning Committee, receive a tour from Mayor Steve Harding, speak at local elementary schools, volunteer with Feeding South Dakota and enjoy a social event onboard pontoons on the Missouri River.
