2010 Charleston Reunion

Canopus crossing OVER the new Cooper River Bridge

The 2010 reunion of the USS Canopus Association will be in Charleston September 9-12, 2010. Our host hotel, Sheraton Charleston Aiport Hotel, is one of the nicest in the area. We have a very large meeting room and is just across from their indoor/outdoor pool and lounge area. Bring your swimsuit!

Tour highlights are:

Cold War Submarine Memorial

USS Yorktown and other Patriots Point Ships

Fort Sumter

Old Charleston Navy Base

Hunley Civil War Submarine

Historic Charleston bus tour

There is now a Video page. Check out the Captain Eaton Oral History, Chuck Norris's 8mm film he took in the mid-60's and Tom Denton's walkthrough of the Canopus when it was in the reserve fleet in October 2001, among others.

New Regs for the Ship's Store

The cost for Post Office Priority Mail recently went up from $4.80 to $9.80 for the flat rate box. Therefore, to keep down the cost to the Association for shipping I will need to send out all future orders via parcel post. If you live on the east coast, as many of you do, it will take 7-10 days.

If you want to receive your order in a more reasonable time frame of 2-3 days, you will need to enclose an additional $5.00 for priority mail shipping.

The coffee mugs are sold out. It took five years to sell the 144 mugs I originally bought just before 2004 Reno reunion. There are no plans to have more mugs produced.

At the 2009 Valley Forge reunion, there was a lot of interest in having a USS Canopus commuter cup. Also, there was strong and loud support to bring back the Canopus tee shirt. I will work on these items as soon as I get the work order chit approved.

We have sold out of the rocker patch. The patch set is no longer a set and just the ship's emblem patch.

That is all.
