SAN DIEGO (May 8, 2021) Jesse Mendez, right, the brother of the late Marine Lance Cpl. Miguel Keith, presents Lt. Justin Woods, the first officer of the deck of the Lewis B. Puller-class expeditionary mobile base USS Miguel Keith (ESB 5), with a long glass during the ship’s commissioning ceremony. Miguel Keith is the Navy’s third purpose-built expeditionary sea base (ESB). While originally created to operate as a support ship under Military Sealift Command, Miguel Keith has been commissioned to provide greater mission flexibility in accordance with the laws of armed conflict. It is the first U.S. warship named for Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Miguel Keith, who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for heroism in Vietnam.
