At random: Traditionally, United States submarines have been named after fish and other marine creatures. One exception was the Navy's first submarine HOLLAND which was named after its inventor, John Philip Holland. Today, ballistic missile submarines are named for famous American patriots, with the newest class, the OHIO class, named after states. The LOS ANGELES class of attack submarines are named for United States cities. The nations news class of submarine, the Virginia class, is also named for US States, making them the capital ships of the navy.

Just returned from the service for JoAnne Foote. Jim and family doing as well as can be expected considering this whole episode from start to finish took less than 60 days from discovery to end and this right after their oldest daughter died in October! Our subvets were in attendance including our National Commander, Pat Householder. A moving service as are all of these events the closer we all get to our own calling! Our prayers are with you Jim!

Thanks for the report John... I'm glad there was a good showing of subvets there. I remember meeting JoAnn briefly at the Bash and Jim many times, including our mutual lunch with Cowboy and Danny the infamous A-Ganger at the Horse and Cow some time ago.
