Preserving the USS Olympia - a Protected Cruiser
The USS Olympia, which fought in the Spanish American War of 1898 has been preserved and is a valuable piece of US maritime history. Unfortunately, Olympia needs $10-15 million in repairs to keep her a viable museum for years to come. She has not been out of water for approximately 40 years. If you have connections or resources to help, please contact me at 612-599-1935 or bdskon@fedex.com.

Never Forget
MURMANSK, Russia (Sept. 3, 2011) Sailors assigned to the guided-missile frigate USS Carr (FFG 52) place flowers at the graves of American merchant mariners who died supporting the Polar Convoys. The convoys were a series of cargo routes from the United Kingdom and North America delivering vital supplies to the Soviet Union during World War II. Carr is on a three-month deployment supporting maritime security operations and theater security cooperation efforts in the U.S. 6th Fleet area of responsibility.
