To: All Members - US Navy League Eastern Seaboard Council Notice of Annual Meeting
Pattaya, Thailand (September 13, 2008):
The USS Abraham Lincoln Strike Group is on a scheduled
deployment in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of responsibility.
Operating in the Western Pacific and Indian Ocean, the U.S.
7th Fleet is the largest of the forward-deployed U.S. fleets
covering 52 million square miles, with approximately 60-70
ships, 200-300 aircraft and 40,000 Sailors and Marines
assigned at any given time.
When Mermaids Dive Center was approached by the President Peter Thorand to do a joint underwater clean up with the USNS Safeguard (Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit One) and our students, the first reaction was wow! Followed by what do these guys do? What equipment do they use? How can we all dive together?
An active navy league council such as the Eastern Seaboard Council, Thailand, of the U.S. Navy League needs an adequate website, and thus Navy League President Peter Thorand ordered to develop this new site.
