We won't be doing a big ceremony there for decommissioning. A reunion with the ship as a backdrop may be feasible there also if the distance to Hawaii is too far for most people. If a reunion coordinator steps up, and you all pick a date and location for a reunion, I can help you with getting the word out and coordinating ship related activities. In particular, he is looking for information regarding the remarks that might have been made by VIPs at these ceremonies. Also, I am planning a detailed Kamfish history page for this site to come soon.
All donations are welcome.
One thing that specifically interests me is the involvement of the state of Hawaii in the outfitting of the Kam. When I was onboard in the early 1980s, I was told that the state of Hawaii had sunk a bunch of money into the boat to make her a showboat. One thing I do remember that made the Kam different from other boats was the chrome in some rather unusual places. For example, the covers for the reactor compartment viewing windows were chrome-plated. Also the covers for RCAC, RCDC and many of the lighting panels were chromed.
