Here is today’s project. I have been thinking about how I wanted to do this since August and I finally put the plan to action today. I cut a submarine shape out of wood then made some mounts for the anchor chain pieces in the middle and the decommissioning placards on the ends. I have a brass plaque coming as well. I commissioned the San Juan many years ago. The anchor chain is off the ship and the placards are made from plexiglass from the battery well. Items presented to all who attended the decommissioning ceremony on August 6th. This project has a lot of sentimental value to me.
