Awarded Another “Battle E” !

Our adopted ballistic missile submarine, USS Alaska, has been awarded a second consecutive “Battle E” Award. This designates Alaska as the premier ballistic missile submarine in the US Navy’s Atlantic Fleet during 2012. This is an incredible achievement by the crew of this boat, and a testimonial to their hard work and training, and to the leadership of the officers and chiefs. Plans are underway for a trip by Savannah Council to visit USS Alaska to participate in the award ceremony honoring this terrific crew.
