The Sturgeon Base Christmas Party was a great time. We had 36 people in attendance and a whole pile of toys was gathered for our donation. I took the toys to work for distribution by our housing department who had identified 50 children in need for this holiday. The Toys for Tots program told me to take them there instead of the warehouse and then deliver them there anyway. I saw some of the children walking through the building after receiving their presents – It was a warm and appreciative sight – We did a good thing for the area children – Bravo Zulu to those that gave to this venture. The Christmas Party had a lot of pretty ladies and I couldn’t believe that the guys cleaned up so well. The food and company was excellent. We had a great time mixing and the wives didn’t complain to loudly about the sea stories. We had the two winners of the essay contest along with their parents and grandparents present at the party. Heather and Donovan Foster read their winning essays at dinner. Their acceptance by the crew members was a long round of applause. The kids did an excellent job and their efforts were very well received. Everyone was in agreement that with young people like this participating in their future at the level they showed in the quality of their essay’s, we can be proud of our young people if they are anything like these two. Our next big event will be a joint spring picnic with the Nautilus Base. I would like to see everyone join in and make a success of this venture. There are a great bunch of guys in Ocala who really want to know us better. I hope we forge a strong bond with our fellow shipmates – there are a lot of things we can accomplish together. The District 4 meeting in Jacksonville promises to be a great time. It includes busses to St. Mary’s for a Memorial Service and time at the Submarine Museum. I would like to see a bunch of the Sturgeon Base members there since it is so close to home this year. I have already booked my room – how about joining me for a good time with all of our sister bases in the Southeast. The National Convention in Saratoga Springs is heating up. The Prime Hotel is already booked full and the others are starting to fill. I’ve got the video from them announcing what they intend to do for this convention. If you haven’t seen it, you’re missing a very entertaining and informative presentation by the Saratoga Springs community and what they want to do for us. It’s not far to New London and they are offering trips there if you want to get back and visit the Subase and your old stomping grounds. It just might be as much fun as Reno. We’ll have to start thinking about nominations for a few base officers. Reggie has stated that he has been the treasurer for almost 2 years and is due for some relief. His end of year report balanced right to the penny, so the bookwork is in good order for the next treasurer. We’ll do some research to see how long everyone has served and let you know. At some point we will have to hold elections, so please consider helping the base out and volunteering for a nomination when the time comes. It’s always better when everyone helps at some time during their affiliation with any organization. It’s the only way a group can grow because it spreads the experience around to all the members. See Ya All At The January Meeting.

  • Settled History?

    Settled History?

    Settled history? (Fifth draft 19 August 2015) Andrzej Kozlowski The University of Warsaw The battle A battle is being waged over a obscure episode in the history of the War in the Pacific involving two close allies of the United States, which has been having a damaging effect on US foreign policy while largely escaping the attention of the US public. The dispute concerns the so called “comfort women”, a euphemism for military prostitutes (or, as one of the competing versions would have it, “sex slaves”) used by the Japanese military during the Second World War. The battle ground has largely been the United States, both at local and national levels. The weapons are monuments [LADN] being built in various parts of the United States, newspaper articles and lately school textbooks and the strategic aim is a long term influence on American public opinion. The Texbook Controversy The latest episode in this ongoing struggle involves a McGraw-Hill school history textbook, authored by a J.H Bentley and F. Ziegler [BZ]. Here is how the Wall Street Journal [WSJ1] presented this story: In December, Japan’s foreign ministry asked U.S. publishing company McGraw-Hill Education to alter the Ziegler textbook’s description of Japan’s “comfort women” program during the war. That prompted a letter of protest from a group of prominent U.S. historians. 2 Unfortunately the offending passage is not quoted and neither is the letter of the protesting historians, who are described as “prominent” although it is not clear in which areas of history and how related they are to the matter in dispute.

The conclusion we reached was that the attack by the destroyers was most likely Reexamined, Part on the already-wrecked U-869. If our conclusion is correct, then how did the U-869 come to be on the III bottom of the Atlantic? The Loss of the German Submarine Early Theories The most effective and successful branch of the German By John Chatterton, Richie Kohler, and John Yurga Navy in World War II was the U-boat arm. Hitler feared he would lose in a direct confrontation with the Royal Navy, so the German surface fleet largely sat idle at anchor. Meanwhile, the U-boats and their all- volunteer crews were out at sea, hunting down enemy vessels. They sank the merchant vessels delivering the Allies’ much-needed materials of war, and even were able to achieve some success against much larger enemy warships.
