Salt Lake City is one of 15 host cities this year for Navy Week, in which the U.S. Navy drops in to meet local officials and show the public its skills. Many of the events are held at the Utah State Fair.
Rear Adm. Moises DelToro III, a University of Utah graduate, said this week the idea is to visit cities that don’t have much of a Navy presence and ”ensure everybody understands what the Navy’s about and why we have a Navy.” DelToro is deputy commander for the Navy’s undersea warfare program and commander for the research-focused Naval Undersea Warfare Center.
