PHCTOLAB AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS The SEVENTH Fleet Public Affairs Office develops and promulgates Navy public affairs policy and procedures to SEVENTH Fleet subordinate commands. These widerang- ing policies are aimed at informing the public at home and abroad, informing the Navy family and maintaining good news media relations. As the Navy's largest overseas fleet, SEVENTH Fleet is charged with patrolling seas covering almost one-fifth of the earth's surface. ln this capacity, it is an instrument of U.S. foreign policy. The mission of SEVENTH Fleet PAO is to tell the Navy story in a clear, factual manner in order to facilitate the American public's understanding of the role and capabilities of SEVENTH Fleet in the Western Pacific. The Public Affairs Division does this largely through full co operation with the news media photo features produced by its assigned photographers and journalists and official news releases 'HHH First row: W.

7' Bom Poot .Flag Boat Pool's basic function is the care and readiness of the Admiral's and Chief of Staff's personal boats. However since on-duty boat crews are not always needed, there are other duties assigned. When at sea, the Boat Pool's duties are split into three areas: taking care of the boats, standing Command Center messen- ger watches, and maintenance of the Flag head and passageway. When in homeport, Boat Pool members are SEVENTH Fleet Staff drivers. Occasionally, Boat Pool personnel may rotate, staying in homeport for a cruise to work for the SEVENTH Fleet Dependents Assistance Team located on base Yoko- suka, Japan.
