CL-41 Tribute Home

SSN-690 The Sixth Ship of the Fleet to Bear the Name Philadelphia
The plaque below states
" May This Vessel Serve Our Benefactors to Fulfill Our Forefathers Aspirations"

On June 24, 2010 the day before her decommissioning, I carried mementos of the WWII Cruiser Philadelphia (CL-41)
on to our tour of the Submarine Philadelphia (SSN-690)


Onboard we discovered plaques commemorating
the historical connection of these ships of the fleet.
We had a great tour with input from current crew and veterans back for the reunion/decommisioning

I should have gotten a cake photo a bit earlier
A great, impressive visit all around!
