NEWS AND
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS:
1. On June 16th at 1630z Radio communications were
established between USS The Sullivans DD537 (NNN0NLR) and USS The Sullivans
DDG68 (NSUL) on the Navy frequency of 7.382.5 Mhz. We believe this is the first
time in Naval History that two Navy ships bearing the same name have comms with
each other. Fifty plus years after being the first US Naval ship ever named
after more than one person, USS The Sullivans is still making Naval History!
2. I have started a collection of Photos (Photo
Page) of our ships and shipmates. If you have any at work photos of the ships
please let me know. I'll be happy to include them in the Photo Gallery. Thanks!

may want to try the 20 wpm CW Test before you read this
