At random: In 1921, a United States submarine, the R-14, having run out of fuel at sea while looking for the missing tug USS Conestoga, rigged sails from blankets and hammocks sewn together. Bunk frames were used for yardarms and booms. The torpedo loading king post for a fore mast, the torpedo loading boom for a mizzen mast and the telescoping radio mast, for the main mast. The R-14 sailed 100 miles in five days to the port of Hilo, T.H. at a speed of two knots. It has been reported in March 2016 that the Conestoga has been located 3 miles off Southeast Farallon Island, probably sinking with-in a day of leaving port. All hands lost.

Subject: USS Narwhal SSN 671 Reunion Info

The USS Narwhal SSN 671 Reunion will be held on September 10-12, 2009 in San Diego, CA at the Town & Country Resort. The POC for the Narwhal Reunion is Buck Crouch (Narwhal Veteran’s Inc. President) email Buck7@cox.net or telephone (520) 668-7095. An alternate contact is Jon Cox (NVI Web Master) 671plankowner@comcast.net.

The Narwhal Reunion will coincide with the USSVI (United States Submarine Veterans, Inc.), ISA (International Submariners Association) and the SAC (Submariners Association of Canada) 2009 joint convention in San Diego to be held on September 8-12, 2009. This allows Narwhal Shipmates to piggyback on the events that will already be planned with the ability for us to segregate and mingle within those events. We will have our own suite at the Town & Country set up as a lounging, contact and meeting location for the duration of the event. Narwhal will also plan at least one and possibly two Narwhal events focused separate from the convention.

Please check the NVI Web Site http://www.ssn671.org/ for more information and updates about the reunion as they become available.
