The Crew page is now complete, and we are hard at work on the Loss Scenario page. That page will be quite lengthy, so it has been broken up into sections, and currently it is complete up to section 5. Check back often as we add new material, and be advised it may get rearranged a little as we move forward. Thaddeus and Dave are also experimenting with changing the background and text colors, so stand by for some changes there as well. We are actively seeking the support of organizations that can make an attempt to locate the wreck site. There are exciting developments in work, and we will keep you advised.

The team members of The USS Dorado Project traveled to Washington, DC and gave a presentation to Rear Admiral Samuel Cox, the Director of the Naval History & Heritage Command, and Dr. Alexis Catsambis, the head of the Underwater Archeology Branch (UAB). We outlined our case for the project and our efforts were very well received by the admiral and his staff. We also got a tour of the UAB facilities and witnessed first hand their incredible work in preserving artifacts of our naval heritage. We would like to thank NHHC and the UAB for their time and we look forward to greater things to come!
