    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE For More Information Contact: Bill Tunnell 251-433-2703 251-454-6556 PRESS RELEASE All Hands on Deck! Former Crewmen Returning to USS ALABAMA for Annual Reunion Mobile, Alabama, March 18, 2016 – The men who served aboard the USS ALABAMA (BB 60) will return to Battleship Memorial Park for their annual reunion on Friday and Saturday, April 15 and 16. This will mark the 51st year that the crewmen have assembled for the USS ALABAMA Crewmen’s Association Reunion. “April is the most special time at USS ALABAMA Battleship Memorial Park,” commented Janet Cobb, executive director. “It’s a homecoming for the crew, a privilege only a few World War II sailors enjoy, that of reuniting with their ship. I can’t imagine how these men feel when they pull into the Park and see her at anchor, at rest, ‘The Mighty A,’ ‘The Lucky A.’ Whatever they might have called her back then, they’re still coming home every time they visit her,” Cobb continued. “We look forward to another special few days together with these members of the Greatest Generation and look forward to welcoming them aboard.” This year 12 former crewmen will be attending the reunion, along with wives, children, grandchildren and other family members. “This is such a special time for these families,” explained Bill Tunnell, organizer of the annual reunion and member of the USS ALABAMA Battleship Commission. “The reunion is the time that these brave men share stories of the war and their lives with their grandchildren and great-grandchildren, passing their personal history down through the generations.” As part of the Crewmen’s Association reunion, the Crewmen’s Luncheon, an invitation only event, will be held at the Park.

    The U.s.s. Alabama This 35,000-ton battleship, commissioned as the USS Alabama in August 1942, is one of only two surviving examples of the South Dakota class. Alabama gave distinguished service in the Atlantic and Pacific theaters of World War II. During its 40-month Asiatic- Pacific stint, it participated in the bombardment of Honshu and its 300-member crew earned nine battle stars. Decommissioned in 1947, the ship was transferred to the state of Alabama in 1964 and is now a war memorial, open to the public.

Alabama is sailing quietly on the Pacific Ocean on the night of 26 November 1943. Most of the sailors are sleeping soundly in their racks while the night shift is on watch. At 22:15 the Officer of the Deck receives word there are enemy planes approaching and gives order to sound General Quarters. General Quarters, General Quarters, all hands man your battle stations, forward starboard side aft port side General Quarters. Sailors jump out of their racks and others run to their battle stations in orderly chaos. As water-tight hatches are being closed, Captain Wilson runs to the bridge to take in the situation and starts giving orders. While signalmen search the skies with their signal lights for the approaching enemy aircraft, gunners and loaders ready their guns waiting for orders.
