Special tour of USS Curts (FFG 38)

DATE: June 15 2010

As part of our appreciation for the HeadStart International School, Kathu, having supported our Navy League July 4th All-America picnic we were able to invite an entire class of students and their instructor on a special tour. Even more rare was both the Commanding Officer, CDR WORKMAN, and Executive Officer, LCDR REED, took the time to personally lead parts of the tour.

Enjoy these pictures taken during our special tour.
