Our first glimpse of the boats on the Bay heading back!

Getting closer and beginning to line up for the pass and review

The Navy Band arrives for return of the YP's

Some of the plebes sailing to greet the YP's, next year guys!


Plebes having some fun, so glad we are one year later!

Timing the arrival for 2:00 p.m. sharp!

The crowd had fun trying to count the number of boats!

Finally we can see the flags and try to spot YP 695...

The band begins, so we know we are getting close!

The crowd was wild with anticipation awaiting the YP's!


First squadron arrives







Bravo squadron approaches, YP 695 should be the last boat!

Trying through binoculars to see the Pennant flag of YP 695!

The first boat of Bravo squadron

Some young fans on hand to greet the YP's


The all look very sharp!

Bravo squadron continues, YP 689

Finally, YP 695, now to try and find John!

Can not find John, later found out he was in the pilot house!

Wondering if John can see us, as he didn't know we were coming!

Wow, how sharp they look!

Mission accomplished, heading to the docks!

Colonel Allen and some members of the Class of 56

Jan and Colonel John R. Allen

Another one, just to be sure!

Unloading the boats...

John spots us hiding behind a car!

John and Alex, shipmates for the first time!
