Bob Cooney, Merit Badge Counselor Citizenship in the Nation - Prerequisites Before Merit Badge Tech, do all of the following (estimated time: 2-4 hours): 1. Watch the national evening news five days in a row OR read the front page of a major daily newspaper five days in a row. Be prepared to discuss the national issues you learned about at Merit Badge Tech. If you are watching the national evening news, take notes as you watch, and bring those notes with you to Merit Badge Tech. If you are reading the newspaper, clip out the articles you read. (Scout requirement 3) 2. Visit a place that is listed as a National Historic Landmark or that is on the National Register of Historic Places. Tell your counselor what you learned about the landmark or site and what you found interesting about it.(Scout requirement 2a) NOTE: There are 13 places listed on the National Register of Historic Places right here in Grand Traverse County, including some you may have already visited, such as the Boardman Neighborhood Historic District, the City Opera House, and the Perry Hannah House, all in downtown Traverse City. See a complete list at http://focus.nps.gov/nrhp/SearchResults/ There are 46 National Historic Landmarks, including some you may have already visited such as Mackinac Island, the USS Silversides Submarine in Muskegon, and Qunicy Mine in Hancock. For a complete list go to http://www.nps.gov/nhl/find/statelists/mi/MI.pdf 3. Choose a national monument that interests you, maybe one you have visited with your family. Using books, brochures, the internet (with your parent’s permission), and other resources, find out more about the monument. Be prepared to tell what you learned about your national monument at Merit Badge Tech. Suggestion: visit http://www.nps.gov/archeology/sites/antiquities/FullMap.htm for a complete list of national monuments such as Petrified Forest, Bryce Canyon, and Carlsbad Cave.(Scout requirement 2d) 4. Choose a speech of national historical importance. Find out about the author, and tell your counselor about the person who gave the speech. Explain the importance of the speech at the time it was given, and tell how it applies to American citizens today. Choose a sentence or two from the speech that has significant meaning to you, and tell your counselor why.(Scout requirement 6) Examples are Abraham Lincoln’s “Gettysburg Address;” Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech; and Franklin Roosevelt’s address to the nation following the attack on Pearl Harbor, “a day that will live in infamy.” Complete all of the above before merit badge tech and you will earn your badge that day. If you have not completed the above requirements before you come to merit badge tech, you can still attend the class, but you will have to work with the counselor to complete the merit badge at a later date.

A Visual Guide to the Gato Class
A VISUAL GUIDE TO THE U.S. FLEET SUBMARINES PART ONE: GATO CLASS (WITH A TAMBOR/GAR CLASS POSTSCRIPT) 1941-1945 BY DAVID L. JOHNSTON 2010 (revised June, 2010) A cursory review of photographs of the U.S. fleet submarines of World War II often leaves the reader with the impression that the boats were nearly identical in appearance. Indeed, the fleet boats from the Porpoise class all the way to the late war Tench class were all similar enough in appearance that it is easy to see how this impression is justified. However, a more detailed examination of the boats will reveal a bewildering array of differences, some of them quite distinct, that allow the separation of the boats into their respective classes. Ironically, the rapidly changing configuration of the boats’ appearances often makes it difficult to get down to a specific boat identification. However being familiar with all of the wartime changes will allow you to narrow down the date of the photo and when combined with other data will sometimes get you the specific name. The Gato class started construction on 11 September 1940 with the Drum at Portsmouth and ended on 01 March 1944 with the commissioning of the Hammerhead at Manitowoc. With a construction period spanning a time of tremendous change within the force, these boats were subjected to several distinct modifications to their outward appearance, with these configurations being distinct enough to allow their visual separation from the earlier Porpoise/Perch, Salmon/Sargo, and Tambor/Gar boats, and the later Balao and Tench classes.

Initial Site Visit Summary for USS Silversides Submarine Museum
April 5, 2019 EA-18-172 Ms. Peggy Maniates, Executive Director USS Silversides Submarine Museum 1346 Bluff Street Muskegon, MI 49441 SUBJECT: USS SILVERSIDES SUBMARINE MUSEUM — RESULTS OF THE U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION’S INITIAL SITE VISIT AND REQUEST FOR CONFIRMATION OF VOLUNTARY CONTROLS; EXERCISE OF ENFORCEMENT DISCRETION Dear Ms. Maniates: I am writing to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff’s initial site visit to the property at 1346 Bluff Street, Muskegon, Michigan, performed on October 23, 2018. The results are summarized below and are discussed in further detail in the enclosed report. During the initial site visit, the staff conducted radiation surveys over approximately 70 percent of the areas inside the USS Silversides Submarine. The staff did not survey the museum buildings outside the submarine. As was discussed with you during our initial site visit, the staff identified a number of instruments and other components (luminous items or products) installed in the submarine that contained radium-226. In accordance with our regulations in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Section 31.12(a)(3), General license for certain items and self-luminous products containing radium-226, the Museum is considered a General Licensee for the possession of these items installed in the submarine, a marine vehicle. Under this regulation, there is no limit on the quantity of luminous items installed in a marine vehicle that may be possessed. Also during our initial site visit, the staff identified one box of damaged gauges and one uninstalled gauge, not in the box, containing radium-226 in a locked storage room in the submarine.

The Historic Site is planning to lease approximately 10 houses AT LINCOLN HOME for low-key business, commercial, George L. Painter or professional use. This can be done under the provisions of the 1980 amendments to the National Historic Preservation Act. As part of the program, the lessee must preserve, restore, and maintain the exterior of the structure during the term of the lease. In turn, the lessee will be permitted to adap- tively restore the interior, subject to the restriction that major architec tural features must be preserved. In early 1985, the Site launched the program by announcing that the Corneau and Stuve Houses would be made available for leas ing. From 1855 to 1860, the Cor neau House was the residence of Lincoln's friend, pharmacist Charles Corneau. Historic records show that the Lincoln family purchased such items as "Cough Candy," "Caster Oil," and "Hair Balsam" at the Corneau and Diller drugstore. The Stuve House, on the other hand, was constructed more than ten years after Lincoln's One-half million people visit the Lincoln Home in Springfield, IL each year departure from Springfield.

Gato Class Boats Finished the War with a Mod 3A Fairwater
A VISUAL GUIDE TO THE U.S. FLEET SUBMARINES PART ONE: GATO CLASS (WITH A TAMBOR/GAR CLASS POSTSCRIPT) 1941-1945 (3rd Edition, 2019) BY DAVID L. JOHNSTON © 2019 The Gato class submarines of the United States Navy in World War II proved to be the leading weapon in the strategic war against the Japanese merchant marine and were also a solid leg of the triad that included their surface and air brethren in the USN’s tactical efforts to destroy the Imperial Japanese Navy. Because of this they have achieved iconic status in the minds of historians. Ironically though, the advancing years since the war, the changing generations, and fading memories of the men that sailed them have led to a situation where photographs, an essential part of understanding history, have gone misidentified which in some cases have led historians to make egregious errors in their texts. A cursory review of photographs of the U.S. fleet submarines of World War II often leaves you with the impression that the boats were nearly identical in appearance. Indeed, the fleet boats from the Porpoise class all the way to the late war Tench class were all similar enough in appearance that it is easy to see how this impression is justified. However, a more detailed examination of the boats will reveal a bewildering array of differences, some of them quite distinct, that allows the separation of the boats into their respective classes.
