Ships, aircraft conduct Valiant Shield SINKEX Live fire from ships and aircraft participating in Valiant Shield 2016 sank the decommissioned USS Rentz (FFG 46) in waters 30,000 feet deep and 117 nautical miles northeast of Guam Sept. 13.

From the Commanding Officer: Final official post of the USS RENTZ (FFG 46). This morning, we gathered one last time as a unit at Mercer Hall for a group breakfast. With the decommissioning ceremony having been held on 09 May, and the barge turned over on 22 May, all that was left was for one final muster to have breakfast, hand out orders, and go our separate ways. We will always be RENTZ Sailors, no matter where our paths take us from here. It has been my honor to command such a fine and outstanding group of men and women. Dread Nought!

Congratulations to the following Sailors on their advancements today: STG1 Goetz, HM2 Bosch, OS2 Burrell, EN2 Clement, CTT2 Hensley, HT2 Johnson, OS2 Lozano, FC2 Teeples, OS3 Goans, EN3 Gomez, LS3 Hodge, BM3 Jones, IT3 Lamp, EN3 Luong, CTT3 Paprocki, and for a perfect ending, GM2 Rentz.

Congratulations to STG2(SW) Goetz, who reenlisted on May 21, 2014. This will be the final USS RENTZ reenlistment.

Congratulations to OS2(SW) Viator, who reenlisted on May 16, 2014.
