REUNION DATES

Our next reunion will be August 25-31, 2008 in Norfolk, VA with our ship.  Additional information, forms, etc. will be in the April Badger

 We will be leaving this morning, Friday, for Norfolk and the Docents Lunch.  We should be back by Thursday next week.  Please hold all unnecessary emails.  Thank you.

The following is a question presented to me by Nauticus.   I have searched out the answer but could not come up with one.  Hopefully some of our Third Generation members who were in GM Div. Missiles,  can answer this for me.

Prior to launching a missile, does the ship sound some sort of alarm (like they did prior to firing the 16’s) to notify the crew that a missile will be launched?  How many seconds pass after the alarm is sounded and the missile is launched.

Thanks Dom
