Honor. Tradition. Valor
Mission statement
Our mission is to ensure a safe path for our brothers and sisters to travel on the open seas. Chief succeeds at this by keeping our crew trained for any situation and keeping our material readiness on par with the highest of standards to keep Chief the lethal vessel she is!
Welcome aboard Warfighter!
USS Chief is lucky to have you and we await your arrival onboard the Fleet’s finest Minesweep. Being forward deployed means you will be a part of a high OPTEMO work environment but it also affords you many opportunities for adventure and to experience new cultures around Japan. If you haven’t gotten in touch with a sponsor contact us at Commandsponsor@mcm14.navy.mil and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
Ready for the Minefield!
