Thirty-five students and 15 teachers from the Lochmaben Roman Catholic School in Cedros were welcomed aboard the USS Gravely (DDG-107) on Monday for an exclusive tour hosted by the ship’s crew.

This followed school upgrades and donations provided by the United States Southern Command (USSOUTHCOM).

The USS Gravely, an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, is docked in Port of Spain as part of the United States’ ongoing partnership with Trinidad and Tobago, the United States Embassy in Port of Spain said in a release.
