In this trailer for an upcoming episode of Continuing the Conversation, the Surface Navy Association podcast, we preview a conversation with SCPO Thomas Christie, USN, Intelligence Specialist and recipient of the 2025 SNA Video Award.
Christie discusses the inspiration behind Sea of Valor, a music video highlighting the sailors and mission of USS Howard (DDG 83). Drawing on the legacy of destroyer sailors and the realities of forward-deployed naval operations, the video captures the professionalism, teamwork, and dedication of today’s Surface Force.
The full episode explores Christie’s passion for storytelling, the creative process behind the video, and how emerging technologies—including AI-generated music—helped bring the project to life. Stay tuned for the full conversation on Continuing the Conversation.
