Chief Petty Officer Steven Hoover Hometown in PHL: Olongapo Hometown in USA: Lompoc, CA Years in Service: 13 “I first pulled into the Philippines in 2007 aboard the Blue Ridge. I was able to show my family around the ship and where I worked. I think it was a real proud moment, especially for my mom because she was able to see that I grew up. I was kind of a mirror image of my dad.”
