S
Slater DE766 Battle Lanterns
As
you know two World War II Era Battle Lanterns were sent off to USS Slater
on behalf of the entire USS England family. The good news is that the UPS
man delivered them in fine shape and we were thanked via e-mail from Tim
Rizzuto. He also mentioned seeing DE-635's score board ant Annapolis and
how we still do not have an ENGLAND in the Navy.

can help with a donation, information, a little time chipping paint or
anything, please step up.
