    4 SISTERS REUNION
    USS NEW JERSEY - USS MISSOURI USS WISCONSIN - USS IOWA

    Commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the only time the 4 IOWA CLASS Battleships sailed together.  Join us for a very special celebration when these four ships will once again sail together.  

    June 7, 1954 was the only time the 4 IOWA CLASS battleships sailed together in their lifetime.  It was only for a few hours and only a few pictures exist to show this very special event.

    Please join us on June 5 - 6, 2004 when the sister ships will once again sail together to celebrate their 50th Reunion - but this time on the airwaves!

    June 5 & 6, 2004 1200 UTC June 5, 2004 - 2359 UTC June 6, 2004

    4 SISTERS REUNION SPECIAL EVENT MISSION:

    To celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the only time the Four IOWA class battleships sailed together during their long history.

    PLAN OF THE DAY: Each group will operate either from the actual ship, if possible, or within view of the ship.  As each ship sets their time, we will post it along with the call sign they will be using. http://www.nj2bb.org/sister.html

    Each ship will handle their own QSL cards.  To get your very special "4 Sisters Reunion" Certificate send $5.00 donation to cover cost of printing and handling and a copy of your log entries for each of the ships. Certificate requests should be sent to:

    Margaret Burgess, KB2BRR
    150 Schooner Ave
    Barnegat, NJ 08005
