NAVSUP and FDRMC Enhance Maintenance Network in Africa
The USS Hershel 'Woody' Williams facilitated a ship check in Namibia to engage local maintenance providers. This initiative aims to establish strong partnerships for future naval maintenance and logistics support in the region.

On September 5, 2022, the USS Hershel 'Woody' Williams conducted its first ship check in Namibia, engaging commercial maintenance providers. This event, organized by the Forward Deployed Regional Maintenance Center (FDRMC) and Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Sigonella (NAVSUP FLCSI), enabled providers to assess the ship's maintenance needs and understand the U.S.
Government solicitation process. Following the ship check, a virtual industry engagement was held to educate attendees on contracting regulations. This collaboration aims to strengthen ties with regional partners and ensure timely maintenance for U.S.
Navy vessels, which are crucial for maritime security in Africa. The initiative underscores the importance of local partnerships for operational effectiveness in the region.
