Subject: Arrival of Razorback
Shipmates,
I know all of you have been waiting to hear the time and date of the arrival of
the USS Razorback / Murat Reis so here is the information that was released
today.
The USS Razorback will arrive in New Orleans on June 19,
2004 at the Julius Street Wharf about 1400.
For those of you who plan to meet her in North Little Rock, that arrival will be
on Sunday July 18, 2004. I would suggest that you arrive on Saturday because we
want you to be a part of the welcoming crew. There will be places to ride the
final distance to her final resting-place on the river. It is planned for some
barges to carry a band as well as VIPs and as many SAILORS as we can get on
board. The Razorback with more SAILORS on board her will follow these barges.
Please wear your vest and hats to let everyone know you are a Submariner.
Please pass this information on to all those who are interested.
