This USS Sioux City will be steaming up the Chesapeake Bay on
November 10th to prepare for her commissioning at the Naval Academy
on the 17th.
The week is full of opportunities for the community to see the
ship, support the ship and it's crew and celebrate this once (maybe
twice) in a lifetime event...unless you are in the Navy...then
maybe not so much! But it starts on Saturday the 10th with the
arrival. The Veterans' Classic basketball tournament is on the 11th
with a Maryland Vs Navy game in hoops! Plenty of opportunity to see
the ship during the week. The official commissioning is at 9am on
Saturday the 17th, and it all wraps up with Navy's final home
football game of the season at the stadium as they take on Tulsa at
330pm on the 17th.
We sat down with RADM Frank Thorp (Ret) who is chairman of the
commissioning committee to see what is in store for
Annapolis.
Things I learned from this episode...
