I am the organizer of the USS New Mexico BB40 reunion, and we are always on the lookout for new members...either the men who served on "The Queen" or their families. Could you post that we are looking to find any of The Queen's Men or other persons interested in her history to contact me? My email is aspie_pride@yahoo.com. My cell # is 636-497-0583

This launching, on April 23, 1917, was under wartime conditions, with the crowd limited to 1,000 under high security. Crowds of 25,000 had seen prior battleship launches. query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9904E4D8153AE4...

B-59, Richard Norton, and Art Siegel: Thanks for pointing us to more complete information on this ship and the launching event. It will be great to include additional information in our next update to the description.
