USS Missouri (SSN 780) in the News

News from my boat:

Rep. Ike Skelton visited the EB shipyard and toured the Missouri, named for his home state. While touring the yard with junior Rep Courtney from CT, Mr. Skelton held a press conference confirming his support for building submarines and the submarine forces continued importance to national security.

A real nuke submariner! Isn't is crazy that you learn about the really sexy things too late in life. I think I saw the submarine movies and read those novels too late :)

Neat blog. Does SSN 780 have a ship's crest yet?

Great blog you have here and thank you for your dedicated service.

I am a retired Chief of the Boat (spent my first 18 years as an ET Nuke) and Vice Commander for my USSVI group here in St. Louis, Missouri. I would appreciate it if you forwarded my information to your COB as we would like to be active with with the ship considering it is named for our state.
