Join us in welcoming Retired U.S. Navy Vice Admiral Robert Thomas as guest speaker at our Navy League/MOAA Dinner Meeting on Monday, August 11, at the Coronado Yacht Club (CYC). Cocktail hour begins at 5:30, followed by a lovely buffet dinner and fascinating update on the trilateral security partnership between Australia, the United Kingdom, and United States (AUKUS), to promote a free, peaceful, and stable Indo-Pacific.
VADM Thomas’ extensive 38-year naval career included numerous assignments on fast-attack submarines and senior-level positions in the Fleet and the Pentagon. His final operational tour was in command of the U.S. 7th Fleet (C7F) in Yokosuka, Japan, in 2013-15; he later retired as Director of the Navy Staff in 2017. VADM Thomas currently serves as a Senior Research Fellow with the University of California’s Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation and full-time faculty member at UC San Diego’s Graduate School of Global Policy and Strategy (GPS).
