Security Violation!
Marines: Drop your socks, grab your weapons and man the new USS Canopus Association Marine Detachment webpage.
Our Marines are becoming more active in the Association and have sent in group photos. I have decided to quarter them on the 2nd Deck just forward of the Mess Deck: |
Holy Loch Update
Our Super Canopus Lifer Jim Hulse recently decided he wanted a Guinness, so he left his home in Buffalo New York and went to Sinbad’s.

Rota Harbor Update
A third pier was under construction in February 2009.
Fred Beebe (HT2 - 1976-1980 - R-1 Flex Hose and Pipe Shop) sent us a set of photos of the completed pier.
Not sure how he came by it. When Ed Pado and I were there in 2009, we were told we may be shot if we were seen with a camera!
