The  Museum-Ships-On-The-Air Special Event is June 9th and 10th.

There will be  submarines, war ships, tug boats and other ships and boats of 
every type on the  
air during that event. See http://www.nj2bb.org/ for more information about  
that event.

Many of these vessels are affiliated to Fists/SKCC and maybe  operated by 
members.

Some have interesting histories such as that of the  submarine USS Pampanito, 
which took part 
in a WWII torpedo attack on an  unmarked Japanese transport ship. 48 hrs 
later, on discovering the
ship was carrying British and Commonwealth POW's, they returned to the  scene 
and at great risk
to boat and crew, surfaced and crammed the sub with survivors. A few years  
ago there was a TV documentary in which 2 British survivors returned to visit  
the boat at it's permanent berth in USA and described their  experiences.
