The reunion began on Thursday, June 12 with a trip to Washington DC to visit the nation's capitol and various memorial sites. Here are some pictures of that trip.

On Friday, June 13 the day began with a trip to Fort McHenry, site of the battle that Francis Scott Key viewed that inspired the writing of the Star Spangled Banner.

Friday evening was USS Francis Scot Key day at the Frederick Keys minor league baseball game. It was a good, long game that the Key's won in the bottom of the 9th inning. The game got over at 11:25pm, well past an old submariners bedtime.

Bad weather delayed the start of the game
