CLEVELAND – Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb proclaimed Saturday as USS Cleveland Day.

A 1:40 scale LEGO model of the USS Cleveland on display at the Great Lakes Science Center was christened.

"And what's so exciting about the USS Cleveland is the fact that this ship not only symbolizes the greatness of our great city but also symbolizes the greatness of this country and the values that we all hold so dear, the values of innovation, the values of entrepreneurship and the values of public service," Bibb said. "And so hopefully this ship will be a reminder of those values to all the great members of our armed forces, but also it'll inspire the next generation to be a part of that public service journey as well, too."
