PRINCE Resident is host on Navy day By Lorraine Frazzini Special to the Pilot SAN DIEGO - As cities across the country saluted the U. S. milita ry May 16, Fireman Michael W. Prince spent the day where he usual ly spends duty days: aboard the USS Cowpens homeported here. But, duty on that Saturday took on a spe cial meaning as Naval Station San Diego opened its gates to visitors to celebrate the holiday. Visitors had the opportunity to board four different small craft and three Navy ships including the Cow pens, a Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser. The ship’s primary mission is anti air warfare, said Prince, the 22-year old son of Lacy and Jean Prince of Southport. The Cowpens's multi-mission ca pability is due to the Aegis weapon system. Designed to identify, track and destroy air, surface and sub marine threats, the system can per form search, track and missile guid ance functions simultaneously while monitoring more than 100 targets. The ship can carry both Tomahawk and Harpoon missiles. Cowpens has a complement of 33 officers, 33 chief petty officers and 339 enlisted men. "I work in engineering, operating 'and maintaining the ship’s propul sion system,” Prince said. "Usually, the crew spends Saturday preparing for the coming week. On Armed Forces Day, we took time out to give tours to visitors from the com munity. "Visitors enjoyed learning about the propulsion system, weapons sys tems and all the ship’s capabilities," he said. Navy participation in the event also included a fighter jet flyover, a performance by the precision parachute team, the Leapfrogs, and operations demonstrations by spe cial warfare forces.
