2010 Fall Patrol
During the 2010 Fall Patrol, from 1 September to 25 November 2010, the Denver accompanied the USS Essex and the USS Harper's Ferry on a tour of Southeast Asia. During the patrol, the Denver took part in the 60th anniversary of the invasion of Incheon, Korea and assisted the Philippines in the wake of Typhoon Megi. On 17 Nov., the Denver, Essex and Harper's Ferry became the first U.S. warships to visit Hong Kong's Victoria Harbor in more than two years.

Famous quotes containing the word fall:
“I believe that water is the only drink for a wise man: wine is not so noble a liquor; and think of dashing the hopes of a morning with a cup of warm coffee, or of an evening with a dish of tea! Ah, how low I fall when I am tempted by them! Even music may be intoxicating. Such apparently slight causes destroyed Greece and Rome, and will destroy England and America.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
