SUBJECT: Address to the 85th Anniversary Submarine Ball
? Audience: Approximately 475 naval officers -- including 20
flag officers -- and wives and a few civilians affiliated with
the submarine force will make up the audience. Neither
members of the press nor foreign nationals will be present.
However, THE NAVY TIMES' photographer will be taking still
photographs for that publication.
? Back round on the 85th Anniversary Submarine Ball: According
to the naval officer, the evening to celebrate their 85th year
of service will be a convivial, relaxed affair. Customarily,
high-ranking naval officers address the group. Last year
Chief of Naval Operations Admiral James D. Watkins was the
keynote speaker, and former CIA Director Admiral Raborn also
spoke to this group in the past.
