3. 简介：

加州本地人，Santa Rosa High Class of 1988，今年整50岁，飞过多种机型，飞行超过3000小时，难得的人才。

下面摘自媒体：

A retired Navy captain and former assistant secretary of defense, Lawrence Korb, was quoted saying the writing of such an unusual letter “shows that this is a person who is putting the welfare of his sailors ahead of his career.”

...... inspired by the Tom Cruise character in the classic 1986 film, “Top Gun.”

About two years after a teenage Crozier saw the flick in Santa Rosa and set his sights on becoming a Navy aviator, he was accepted into the U.S. Naval Academy on a nomination by then-Congressman Doug Bosco, an investor in Sonoma Media Investments, which owns The Press Democrat.

Following graduation in 1992, Crozier trained to fly the Seahawk helicopter, then the F/A-18 Hornet fighter. He logged more than 3,000 flight hours,

Crozier earned a master’s degree in National Security and Strategic Studies from the Naval War College in 2007 and completed Nuclear Power School in 2014.

He received his first command in mid-2017 as captain of amphibious command ship the Blue Ridge, flagship of the U.S. 7th Fleet.

Last Nov. 1, he stood on the flight deck of “The Big Stick” and became the carrier’s 16th captain. He thanked the assembled crew members for doing what is right and just, and “doing it on the greatest warship in the world.”
