Sailors stationed at Naval Nuclear Power Training Command (NNPTC) celebrated the 100th birthday of retired Vice Adm. Douglas C. Plate, July 20, near his house in Charleston, South Carolina. Fifteen Sailors saluted and sang happy birthday to the retired three star admiral in honor of his achievements throughout life, while maintaining social distance and wearing masks amid COVID-19. Sailors waited outside across the street from Plate’s residency to wish him a happy birthday. Plate was brought outside on a golf cart decorated with balloons and streamers. He remained on one side of the road, to avoid the risk of exposure from any possible coronavirus, as the Sailors wished him a happy birthday. “I met [Plate] in December 2014,” said Lt. William. T McShane, officer aspects of reactor plant operations instructor at NNPTC. “He was dancing at 96 years old, and he was the life of the party.” McShane, from Madison, Wisconsin, said he organized the birthday event to recognize Plate’s longevity and to honor his contribution to the Navy and the community. McShane said that afterwards Plate contacted McShane’s uncle, whom he had previously met him through, to send thanks to all the Sailors who showed up on his birthday and show appreciation for what they did for him. Plate graduated from the Choate School in Wallingford, Connecticut, in 1938, and was a December 1941 gradutate of the U.S. Naval Academy. He served in a number of surface ship assignments during WWII and the years that followed, including on the USS Misssouri (SSN 780) during the surrender ceremony in 1945. He is a 1953 graduate of the Naval 4 the primary loop War College and a 1960 graduate of The Industrial mostly with the forces afloat. These included command College of The Armed Forces. During his 34 years of of three ships, the Naval Destroyer School, a cruiser- commissioned service, he held a variety of positions, destroyer flotilla, the Mine Force of the Atlantic Fleet, and during Vietnam, the Cruiser Destroyer Force of the Pacific Fleet. He was promoted to the rank of vice admiral in 1972 and became commander of the U.S. Second Fleet and NATO’s Striking Fleet, Atlantic Command and U.S. Atlantic Fleet in February of 1973. “He has seen and experienced so much in life,” said Boatswain’s Mate 2nd Class Tiara Walker. “I want to be like him. To see such history before me, to outlive life, he is such an inspiration.” Plate retired from active service in 1975 and joined the staff of The Citadel as director of planning. He retired for the second time in June 1981, and has since served as a consultant to the College of Charleston, as a director of Braswell Shipyards, Inc., and on a variety of civic committees and boards. He is currently chairman of the City of Charleston Tourism Commission. Plate is a member of St. Michael’s Church in Charleston and The Carolina and New York Yacht Clubs.

Plate and his wife, the former Peggy Deane of San Fransisco, have two children, both of whom are married and living in California. the primary loop 5 CLASS 2002 GRADUATES Following NPS graduation, Sailors will attend prototype training at Nuclear Power Training Unit in Goose Creek, South Carolina.
