Location San Francisco Waterfront
Pier / Dock to be determined
Details

This event has sold out. Thanks to the connections of a generous Lehigh alumnus and the Navy League of the US, the Lehigh Club of San Francisco has a special opportunity for a naval ship tour during Fleet Week. This is a chance to see an active duty vessel and learn a bit about service in the US Navy.

Though we have confirmation on a ship tour we are awaiting word from the Navy on the exact day and time. It will be either the 8th or 9th of October, probably in the early to mid afternoon. Most likely the tour will be aboard an Arleigh Burke class destroyer (the USS Cole is of this class). There is no charge for these tours but under current security conditions the names of the attendees must be submitted in advance, sometimes accompanied by driver license numbers.

We will send out the final details when we know them but as the date is approaching we wanted to let you know about this unique opportunity.

For questions and to RSVP please contact Walt Usinowicz at (This is a past event)
