Shipmates,
We are pleased to announce resumption of our regular meetings and look forward to your attendance at the next Seattle Base meeting is this coming Wednesday, March 16, 2016. We will meet at VFW Post #2995 (4330 148th Ave N.E., Redmond WA 98052). Social hour starts at 6PM with business meeting at 7PM.
We have a lot of information to share with you, including nomination of new officers and some Base activities planned for this year.
We are most pleased our regular speaker Keith Watson will offer what we might describe as a “mystery.” Keith’s presentation focuses on the US Submarine Service wake-up call in 1946.

March - April 2016 Dolphin Brotherhood Posted
The March – April issue of the Dolphin Brotherhood has been posted to the Seattle Base website.
It was a slow couple of months at Seattle Base, so this issue only has general announcements along with the usual submarine related articles. There is an interesting graphic showing submarines in the western Pacific by country on page 7, be sure to check it out.
Hardcopies of the newsletter are in the mail. I hope you all enjoy it.
Also, the christening ceremony for the submarine Washington will be at 8:00 AM PST Saturday, March 5, 2016 at Newport News Shipbuilding. Washington (SSN-787) is the first ship since World War II, and the only submarine, to be named after the State of Washington. The Christening Ceremony will be streamed live on the Washington Christening website http://www.washingtonchristening.com
As always, don't forget to check back here for base updates and other articles of interest. You can find old issues of the newsletter at: Dolphin Brotherhood Archives, which is also a link on the right side of the blog.

2016 USSVI Awards Nominations are Open
The 2016 National USSVI Awards Nomination Process started at the beginning of February. Please take a moment to look over the awards and consider nominating a shipmate or a Base for an award for all the good things this shipmate or Base did during 2015.
Let’s acknowledge and reward our shipmates for a job well done by nominating them an Award. Please review the manual and follow the directions.
The Awards Manual can be found on the USSVI website or at this link.
The 2016 Awards on Schedule and Process Timeline:
Have You Ever Wondered: Where is Your Boat Today?
The Sea Poacher (SS-406) Association has created a DVD where you can find the answer to the status (as it exists) of every U.S. submarine from World War II to the present day of early 2016. Most of the information is not new, but it takes a great deal of effort and time to find it. Now this has been done by the Sea Poacher Association has researched and collated the information into one document that should be of interest to every submariner.
This listing and status includes information on over 600 boats. It starts with the 52 boats lost in the war with Japan and the full 25 museum boats. This is followed by a complete listing of diesel submarines that were scrapped and that have parts such as sails, conning towers, periscopes, screws, and other items preserved at locations in the U.S. and abroad. There is information on nuclear submarines that have been recycled, as well as those currently awaiting their fate. It also includes a comprehensive list of over 80 submarines that were transferred to foreign countries, including their disposition, fate, or establishment as a memorial. Finally, there is an account of the dozens of submarines that were sunk as targets or in other unusual events.
Where is Your Boat Today? It can be ordered at $20 each or for orders of five or more to one specific submarine organization address, we can reduce the shipping costs and make it only $17 a copy. See this link for more information about this and for ordering information.
TRIAD Symposium in Silverdale WA on March 11
I'm Peter Huessy. Since 1983 I've been hosting a Congressional Breakfast seminar series in Washington DC on our nation’s strategic modernization, missile defense, space, counter-proliferation, defense policy and arms control agenda. We have over that period held some 1500 such seminars. In 2012, I decided to expand the series and host annually a TRIAD conference in Washington, D.C. and one at a nuclear-related military base elsewhere in the country. This is the tenth Triad event in the series and it is scheduled for March 11, 2016 in Washington State next to the Navy submarine base. My main partners in this effort are the Air Force Association, National Defense Industries Association, the Reserve Officers Association, and many of our leading Defense contractors with the cooperation of the US Navy and US Air Force.
I want to invite you and the members of SUBVETS and the Kitsap Chapter of MOAA to a conference/symposium on the Benefits of Strategic Deterrence that I am putting on in your area from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM on Friday March 11, 2016. It will be held at the Silverdale Beach Hotel, 3073 NW Bucklin Hill Road, Silverdale, WA 98383, near to the Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor in cooperation with the US Navy. Rooms are blocked for the event.
After the close of the session on Friday afternoon, U.S. citizen participants will have an opportunity to tour an in-port fleet ballistic missile submarine (space is limited). That evening we will have a reception at the hotel.
Below is a copy of the agenda. Among our distinguished speakers are: Admiral Richard Haney, Commander of U.S. Strategic Command; Vice Admiral Terry Benedict, Director, Navy Strategic Systems Programs; Rear Admiral David Kriete, Commander, Submarine Group 9; Maj Gen Michael Fortney, Vice Commander, Air Force Global Strike Command; Lt Gen Jack Weinstein, the USAF Deputy Chief of Staff for Strategic Deterrence, and Brad Roberts, Director of the Center for Global Security Research at Lawrence Livermore National Lab.
We are organizing this event in cooperation with the Naval Submarine League Pacific Northwest Chapter and Puget Sound Naval Bases Association. Our supporting sponsors to date include Lockheed Martin Corporation, Northrop-Grumman, Textron, General Dynamics and Task Force 21 - Minot, ND.
Separately, I will be sending you an email from Constant Contact with a link to register for the March 11 conference/symposium. The invite goes out twice a week. I would appreciate if you would click on the "forward this email" button at the bottom of your invite letter and forward it to your members. Those who register for the conference will be sent instructions on how to sign up for the SSBN tour from my colleague Brian Moran. And Brian can help you with getting a copy of the link to also send to you colleagues and friends.
There is no cost to attend the event. Our caterer and associated costs are being covered by our supporting sponsors. If your group would like to be listed as a supporting sponsor, I would be delighted to chat with you about a contribution to the event where your member attendees could provide such support. Our goal has been to work with the local community around our nuclear enterprise bases, plus their Congressional delegation, the military and civilian work force, the related industry, think tanks and public policy organizations that deal with nuclear issues, as well as the Administration and Congress as a whole, together providing for the nation’s security and supporting the nuclear deterrent enterprise.

February 2016 Commander's Corner and Meeting Update
Editor's Note: Outgoing Base Commander Dick Gonzalez was nice enough to write up one more Commander's Corner to let us know the current leadership situation.
Shipmates,
The January 20th Seattle Base meeting was primarily focused on identifying and electing members to fill the Base Commander and Sr. Vice Commander positions. We trusted we would be able to fill these positions, enabling us to make a seamless transition to the new leadership. Regrettably, we fell short in this task.
As a result, the current and out-going base officers intend to hold a special meeting to discuss and review viable options.
Unfortunately, because of the current leadership situation the February 17th Seattle Base meeting has been cancelled and the next Seattle Base USSVI meeting will be March 16th.
Please help us in letting other base members know about the meeting change.

January 2016 Meeting Notes
We started off the January meeting with Tolling the Boats lost in January, followed by birthday wishes for our members, officer reports, and introductions.
Storekeeper Ralph Sterley reminded everyone that the 2016 USSVI calendars are available for $10.95. Be sure to get your copy soon so that you can enjoy it for all twelve months! He also had copies of Don Ulmer’s new book “Beyond Silent Battleground”, but quickly sold out of the copies. We should have more books soon.
We also want to remind everyone that annual memberships ran out at the end of 2015 and Seattle Base and USSVI National dues for 2016 are due.
Old and New Business
Base Elections – Outgoing Base Commander Dick Gonzalez thanked all of us for the support he has received over his tenure. He let us know how important member participation is in the running of the base and reminded us of the recent closing of South Sound Base due to that lack of participation. He also spoke about the need for members to step forward to fill leadership roles for Seattle Base.
Our current Treasurer, Jim Harper, and Secretary, Bill Giese, have agreed to stay on in their positions. However, no one has stepped forward to take on the positions of Base Commander and Sr. Vice Commander. Both are positions that are vital to the normal operations of Seattle Base.
Because there is no one to fill the Base Commander and Sr. Vice Commander positions, there might not be a meeting in February. There was some discussion about having past-Base Commanders rotate through running meetings until a new commander can be found, but that is not a long-term option. There will be a special meeting of the current and out-going officers to discuss the options moving forward.
The precarious a position this puts Seattle Base in cannot be emphasized enough. Members are welcome, and encouraged, to help resolve this situation.
Base Emails – We did a quick check to make sure everyone that wants email notifications about USSVI and Seattle Base news and announcements are getting the emails. If you are not getting base emails, but would like to, please contact Karl ‘Dutch’ Krompholz. You can find his contact information in the POC section of the Seattle Base Information page.
2016 Seattle Base Calendar – We are pulling together all the important dates for the 2016 Seattle Base Calendar. If you have any events, or even suggestions for event, you would like to have added to the calendar, please contact Pat Householder. You can find contact information for Pat on the Seattle Base Information page.
January Program
Our program for the evening was a presentation by Harvey Hawks, an education docent at the Seattle Museum of Flight and former Boeing engineer, on the Tuskegee Airmen.
Harvey started out discussing the Civilian Pilot Training program and the origins of the Tuskegee Experiment. He talked about the challenges faced by African-Americans in the military in the early 1940s. He covered the organization of the 99th Fighter Squadron, the slow addition of pilots and crews as the programs got up to speed and their deployment to the North Africa in 1943.
The squadron proved its value in combat in North Africa and the Italian campaign. As more pilots became available, the unit was expanded to form the 332nd Fighter Group with four squadrons. The squadrons conducted both ground support and bomber escort missions. They had a good reputation for protecting bombers. During the 179 escort mission flown, only 27 bombers were lost to the enemy (compared to an average of 46 bomber lost for other 15th Air Force fighter groups). However, no Tuskegee Airmen pilot was ever recognized as a fighter ace. Harvey spoke about the wartime exploits of the group and told about Seattle native Sam Bruce, the namesake of the local Seattle Tuskegee Airmen chapter.
After World War 2 the returning pilots and crew were not treated well, but their efforts helped lead to an integrated military in 1948. They also went on to pave the way for younger African-Americans, not just in the military, but also in businesses such as the airlines and Boeing.
It was a great program covering the history of an important and, until recently, forgotten group of men.

January 2016 Meeting Reminder
The next Seattle Base meeting is this coming Wednesday, January 20. We will meet at VFW Post #2995 (4330 148th Ave N.E., Redmond WA 98052). Social hour starts at 6PM with business meeting at 7PM.
Our speaker will be Harvey Hawks, an education docent at the Seattle Museum of Flight, who will discuss the social condition of segregation/integration in the 1930's and the growing awareness of the military action leading to war and the need for the Civilian Pilot Training program. The Tuskegee Airmen Experiment was conducted to see if African-Americans could actually perform the complex task of piloting in combat.
In the presentation, Harvey will follow the success of the 99th Pursuit Squadron, later the 332nd Fighter Group, as they operated in the Mediterranean Theater under the leadership of Col. Benjamin O. Davis, Jr. We’ll also learn about local hero, Sam Bruce, namesake of the local Tuskegee Airmen chapter. After victory in Europe, these gentlemen became leaders in the Civil Rights victory at home.
Tuskegee Airmen is the name given to members of the U.S. Army Air Force units in World War II that were comprised primarily of African American flyers and maintenance crews, though a few white officers and trainers were also involved. The group compiled an impressive record, primarily in the Mediterranean Theater of Operations, despite facing frequent resistance to their presence in the formerly all-white Army Air Corps. Although the best-known Tuskegee Airmen were the fighter pilots of the 332nd Pursuit Group (99th, 100th, 301st, and 302nd fighter squadrons), the 477th Bombard Group (the first black bomber group) was also part of the Tuskegee Airmen. Pilots, navigators, bombardiers, maintenance and support staff, and instructors all played a role.
We hope to see you at the meeting.
