NUWC Division Newport employee shares family legacy with USS Fort Lauderdale
John Lauderdale of the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Division Newport’s Undersea Warfare Electromagnetic Systems Department displays personal challenge coins presented to him during a tour of the USS Fort Lauderdale (LPD 28) while the ship was docked at Naval Station Newport from Nov. 21-24, 2024. The ship and city in Florida are named after Lauderdale’s great-great-great-granduncle William, who served as a lieutenant under Andrew Jackson when the Tennessee volunteers were dispatched to New Orleans in 1812 and as a major during the Second Seminole War in 1838.
