San Diego Bayside.

At our last one we presented a plaque to the ADM Nimitz Museum for the
"Wall of Honor." It recogines the Firedrake for her role in WWII, Korea
and Vietnam.

We look forward to seeing all of our Shipmates in'99.

The Firedrake was commissioned in 1942, mothballed in 1946(?),
re-commissioned in 1951, and decommissioned in 1970. She served in the
Pacific in WWII, Korea and Vietnam. I was aboard from 1951 to 1954.
