Cmdr. LaBranche Saying Quotations

I will miss flying the Tomcat very much. Saying good bye to the Tomcat will be like saying good bye to an old friend, but in the best interest of our people, it must be done.

As we near the end of the Tomcat's last deployment, we are proud of our legacy and take solace in the fact that the Tomcat is going out at the top of its game, but also regret saying farewell to an old, revered and trusted friend.
