Subject: Message from the CO of USS SAN FRANCISCO
I had this forwarded to me by a fellow "Bubble
Head." I know how some of you have been following this pretty close, and
I appreciate your having kept me in the loop with all the email news
about the USS San Francisco (SSN-711), which I have intern been
forwarding on to others. So when this was passed to me I wanted to share
it with you all as well. Loosing a shipmate is never a good thing...

Lets all keep Kevin and his family in our prayers and go long into the web
site and express condolences to the Ashley family for their loss.

Dear family and friends,
Let me express my deep appreciation for the outpouring of support from you
following the tragic grounding of USS SAN FRANCISCO. I cannot yet recount
the details or explain my involvement because the investigation remains in progress. The news stories and recently released photos of the boat in drydock provide a basic description of what happened. The saddest part of this event was the loss of my shipmate, MM2(SS) Joseph Ashley. This week, I had the pleasure of meeting his parents, who traveled to Guam courtesy of the Navy to meet his shipmates & friends. The Ashley's are wonderful people and their visit was memorable for all of us.
Many of you have offered me help in dealing with this crisis, and I am most appreciative. In addition to your continued prayers, I do have a special request for some help from all of you:
(1) please go to the attached website and send a note of condolence to MM2(SS) Ashley's family

(2) please send the attached
link to other people, especially submariners, and ask them to do the
same.
The Ashley family frequently checks this website, and they read and
cherish
every word. They are honored that it currently stands at 33 pages.
After
all of you leave messages and continue this string of support, I dare
not
guess how long it will be. Thank you in advance for your support.
Sincerely,
CDR Kevin Mooney
