The end of 2008 us upon us, and it is formally the time to usher out the old and welcome the new. Speaking of new, I'd like to welcome the 26 new members to the site. They have signed up since last night in response to an email I sent out to folks I found on the internet associated with the Bates.
Welcome aboard, shipmates!
Now, since I did not consider the consequences of inviting 263 new individuals to sign up, I'm now overwhelmed with admin details as a result, and I need a vacation. So in about an hour I'm leaving for the rest of the week, to spend some time in a cabin up north, snowmobiling and sitting by the fire.

I trust everyone has had a truly enjoyable Christmas holiday and is now enjoying a little peace and quiet after the December rush to get ready for Christmas. Now that things are slowing back to normal, perhaps we can get on with a little reunion planning.
In the meantime, check out the new photos of the boat in Adak, and new articles in the Logroom Archives. Our newest contributor, Dennis Carroll, has sent the Bates Welcome Aboard booklet, and the front page of the Sasebo, Japan newspaper, from 1982 which features a photo of the Bates pulling into the harbor. Thanks for contributing, Dennis!

December 16th has been a rough day for the site. Intermittent problems plagued us all day which might explain why you were having trouble accessing the site. Finally, we took the server off-line completely, as a result, the site was down for an hour or so.
As of 2150 EST it was back up. Everything seems to be back in order now so you shouldn't have any problems. If you do, please report them to the Site Administrator at admin (at) ssn-680.org.

Check out the Scuttlebutt in the Operational Schedule forum - I added some threads about our schedule between 81 and 85. See if you can remember anything regarding operations, deployments, overhauls and liberty ports and add your info as replies to the threads. If we ever get it hammered out, I'll make it a permanent part of the site.I added a new set of photos from Diego Garcia in 1985, I think, my second visit there. More will follow as time allows.

We have places for photos of yourself on the site. By this, I mean a photo that identifies you, like your driver's license or passport photos, as opposed to the ones we took of each other on liberty, or the photo of you getting your dolphins pinned on.
First, there is the photo that you use to identify you on the site, that shows up in the Scuttlebutt forum and is your User Image on your User Profile. This is also called your avatar. To change this image, or to add one, go the the Sailing List and click on your name, or click on your name in the Current Watchsection, or click on Your Profile in the Watch Quarter and Station Bill. Your user profile will open.
