Battleship Cove - May 17th 2008

Hi folks, We’re looking forward to Pack 722’s outing to Battleship Cove

WHEN: Saturday May 17th, 2008

WHERE: Battleship Cove, Fall River MA

We’ve reserved 45 bunks on the USS Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. DD850

COST: $25.00 for Scouts who participated in the Popcorn fund-raiser, and $55.00 for all others (prices may decrease if the pack is able to raise additional funds before the outing). Checks should be made out to Pack 722, and mailed to or dropped off at my address 122 Kendrick Rd. The deadline for payment is April 10th.

WHAT’S INCLUDED: The price includes Dinner, breakfast and lunch, access to all of the ships and museums within the cove, and lodging aboard the USS Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. DD850.

WHAT TO BRING: Here are some suggested items for the trip

  • Sleeping Bag
  • Pillow
  • Personal Toiletry items (soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, etc…)
  • Spending money
  • Towel

SCHEDULE: We’ll arrive Saturday afternoon around 1:00pm visit some of the ships, museums and try our hand at knot tying and then have supper in the battleships main dining room. Reveille sounds at 6:30 Sunday morning, followed by breakfast, tours of the ship, lunch in the wardroom and departure around 12:30AM. See the Plan of the Day for details.

The Kennedy is an example of a Gearing class destroyer, which were built during WW2 and became the workhorses of the Cold War destroyer navy. The JP Kennedy served with great distinction during the Korean War, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and America's space program to name just a few. DD850 is now a museum ship to educate the public and serve as a memorial to those who sailed aboard destroyers. Below is an example of the berthing areas that we’ll “bunk” in over night.
