U.S. 7th Fleet and Social Media

From the U.S. 7th Fleet Public Affairs Officer:

Earlier this year, 7th Fleet started an initiative to use social media as a means of communicating and engaging with internal and external audiences. This included establishing an official presence on Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Flickr and YouTube, as well as redesigning our official website, www.c7f.navy.mil, to make it more dynamic and user friendly.

Every day throughout our area of responsibility, the men and women of the 7th Fleet are taking part in exercises, port visits, and other important bilateral and multilateral activities that support our nation's commitment to an engagement strategy based on partnership, readiness and presence. Social media tools provide additional avenues to distribute the news, photos, and video stories highlighting our accomplishments, and to encourage dialogue with the public about what we are doing.

I invite everybody as well as your friends and families to bookmark these sites, to subscribe to our "Tweets", or to become a "Fan". I also encourage you to actively and responsibly participate in the discussion.

Here's where to find us:
