USS Comstock returns to San Diego after 3-month mission in Indo-Pacific
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — The USS Comstock returned to its homeport in San Diego on Thursday after a three month mission in the Indo-Pacific, the U.S. Navy reports.
Marines and sailors aboard the Whidbey Island-class dock landing ship USS Comstock (LSD 45) returned to Naval Base San Diego on Thursday after a three-month mission to the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations in the Indo-Pacific.
The Navy says 115 U.S. Marines and Sailors from Alpha Company, 1st Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, 1st Marine Division also embarked Comstock during the deployment.
While in U.S. 7th Fleet, the Navy says the Comstock participated in exercises Tiger Triumph in India and Balikatan 25 in the Philippines.
'Our ship's successful completion of Tiger Triumph and Balikatan 2025 is a testament to the dedication, resilience, and skill of our crew,' said Cmdr. Byron Stocks, the commanding officer of the Comstock. 'Together, we strengthened partnerships, honed our readiness, and proudly represented our nation on the world stage.'
The Tiger Triumph featured 3,000 personnel, two warships, and seven aircraft, the Navy reports. The Comstock, with embarked U.S. Marines, worked alongside Indian counterparts for two weeks during the exercise.
The Navy says the Tiger Triumph gave participating forces the opportunity to refine humanitarian assistance and disaster response operations, conduct amphibious beach landings and build relationships and camaraderie through cultural exchanges.
'The tireless work ethic of the U.S. and Indian Armed Forces at all levels directly contributed to the successful execution of the amphibious landing,' said U.S. Marine Capt. Erik Ayala, commander of troops for Alpha Company, 1st Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, 1st Marine Division. 'This success highlights the cohesion we currently have with our Indian Partners and will enable us to build on the complexity in the future.'
After completing the Tiger Triumph exercise, the Comstock participated in exercise Balikatan 25 from April 25-29 alongside the Philippine Navy and the Japan Maritime Defense Force, according to the Navy.
In addition to humanitarian projects and logistics operations, the Navy says the exercise featured a Full Battle Test, which combines all domains — air, land, sea, space and cyber, while the group sail tested maritime maneuvers and validated interoperability of doctrine, tactics, techniques, and procedures at sea.
The USS Comstock (LSD 45) is a Whidbey Island-class dock landing ship homeported in San Diego.

From Atheism To Becoming A Nun: Sister Theresa Aletheia's Story
She became an atheist at just fourteen years old due to the suffering she saw in the world and problems she observed within the Catholic Church. Fast forward to now, she's a nun who has fully devoted her life to Christ and her mission: finding God in the midst of misery and providing a safe space for those who have been hurt by members of the Church. Sister Theresa Aletheia Noble, co-creator of Sisters of the Little Way, joins Ben to discuss the epiphany that led her back to her faith, and the practice that landed her on the front page of The New York Times: 'memento mori,' a discipline centered around intentionally thinking about your death in order to ultimately improve the life you live.

Where Can a Big Guy Get Stylish Clothes?
You are correct in observing that we don't talk enough about size inclusivity when it comes to men's wear, or demand that it even exists — which is just plain old silly. I think it goes back to old-fashioned gender stereotypes and the idea that it isn't manly, somehow, to dwell too much on your body (other than perhaps when you are working out), even though that is patently untrue. There is also a misperception that suits cover all sins; as Anne Hollander postulated in her … umm … seminal book 'Sex and Suits,' the male suit as we know it was created to smooth any body into the shape of a Greek ideal. Part of the problem, said Corbin Chamberlin, a journalist who covers the issue, is that despite the recent trend toward oversize looks on the runways, much of 'men's fashion is still clinging to the outdated ideal of the slim, controlled silhouette.' Case in point: Years ago, when Hedi Slimane was still at YSL, my 5'11', fitter-than-normal-sized husband went to try to buy a suit, and could barely raise his arms in the jacket, the sleeves were so tight, and the armholes so small. When he raised an eyebrow at the salesman, the guy looked abashed, and started talking about how they could let out a seam here, another one there. He had clearly had a lot of practice with the issue. Compounding the issue, Mr. Chamberlin said, is the fact that as with women's wear, you rarely see a larger body in an ad campaign, and 'when larger bodies are left out of campaigns, runways and store displays, they're not just underserved — they're erased.' Still, in 2016, IMG Models established their 'brawn' division (it's the male equivalent of the 'curve' division for women, a linguistic effort to move away from the ick term 'plus-size'). And there are designers whose sizing extends to the larger at all price points. Ralph Lauren has a big-and-tall line. So do Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, J. Crew and Old Navy. Prada goes up to XXXL, and Gucci to a U.S. size 50. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
