Yes, three years ago on the 23rd of January, 2011 we launched our little shuttle that was to become our Grand Legendary Class ship the USS Zavala. We went through some rough and rocky turbulence during that shakedown cruise but we made it and in 9 months too. I just want to say I’m very proud to be here with all of you.

Thank you everyone who came out to our annual winter party. Much fun was had by all.
