Batfish Memorial Foundation

The Batfish Memorial Foundation The Foundation was established to raise funds to provide for the maintenance and preservation of the USS Batfish (SS-310) Memorial for future generations and remembrance of all those Oklahomans who have served in the military of the United States. Those wishing to donate may send thier tax deductable contributions to the address below.

Deck Replacement ongoing this winter The deck work continues at a steady pace. They have ~50% of the deck removed. The forward end is looking better as the new deck is installed. This is a very labor intensive project. They need volunteers to come out and help with the replacement of the deck. Contact Rick at the museum or shoot Mark an email at ussbatfish@yahoo.com for more info. Next coordinated work day is Saturday, Feb. 7, from 9 AM to ??? T he Foundation will be suppling the needed hardware and any special tools. Our next step is to get the funds needed to paint the boat. Remember Lost Boats!

Boat tested for lead paint
The boat has been tested for lead paint. The repainting company selected will have a good idea of what areas will require special precautions when sand blasting.

Memorial Service May 16th
Our annual Memorial Service will be held on May 16th at 11:00 am. The "Tolling of the Boat" will be presented by the USSVI and Submarine Veterans of WWII.

Capital Funds Drives
The Batfish Memorial Foundation is in the formative stages of kicking off out "Paint the Gray Lady" capital funds drives for 2009 - 2010. This drive will be to collect funds for the sand blasting and painting of the USS Batfish. This will be a costly endevor, but is needed to be accomplished as soon as posssible. Sand blasting and painting are very involved and will require the use of a professional company along with many volunteer hours.

Spring Cleanup for Memorial Service
It is that time of year again. We will be having a cleanup on May 2 to prepare the museum for our annual Memorial Service. Another strong showing of support wwould be great. Contact Rick or Mark.
