KEEPING AN EYE OUT FOR DADDY

ILLUSTRATION: BILL TIERNAN

The Virginian-Pilot

Dakota Farmer, 1 1/2 years old, searches for his father, who arrived

at Little Creek Naval Amphibious Base aboard the dock landing ship

Carter Hall on Friday. Scott Farmer, an engineman, is a third-class

petty officer on the Carter Hall, the Navy's newest ship.

Commissioned Sept.30, it brings an annual income of more than $11.4

million to Hampton Roads.
