SAN DIEGO – The U.S Pacific Fleet recognized the Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Makin Island as the recipient of the Logistics Readiness Excellence Award for fiscal year 2023.

The award recognizes the contributions, achievements and support of afloat supply departments.

“I am honored that the Makin Island team earned the Logistics Readiness Excellence Award,” said Cmdr. Matthew Miller, Makin Island’s supply officer. “Winning this award is a testament to the hard work, attention to detail, and persistence displayed by our sailors in the Logistic Readiness Divisions and all of the repair parts petty officers. Readiness results in lethality, and I am immensely proud that our team is committed to driving operational lethality through logistical readiness.”

Makin Island is currently in a selective restricted availability while homeported in San Diego.
