On Saturday, September 5 Seattle Base took a short excursion to the
Veterans Memorial Museum in Chehalis WA. and to the
Blueback exhibit at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry in Portland OR.
It was a fun outing and a great opportunity to see some near-by veteran and submarine related locations.
Here are a few photos from the
Blueback portion of the trip.

| An old five-bladed screw (note the USSVI memorial plaque is in front of the screw) |
 |
| Submarine Veterans of World War II memorial |
 |
| The first stop on the tour is the wardroom, where they had some nice size comparison models |
 |
| Then it was off to Control to see the helm and plane controls |
 |
| And the "Christmas Tree" all lit up |
 |
| Then back through the galley to Maneuvering and the diesel controls |
 |
| Then it was back out the hull cut for a quick group photo |
We hope to do more Seattle Base outings like this one. If you have ideas for other trips, be sure to bring them up to the Base officers.
