Pearl Harbor tour by Rep. Takai’s Office

Pearl Harbor destroyerAloha everyone! As announced at our last meeting, Representative K. Mark Takai’s office has arranged a free boat tour of Pearl Harbor, including its surface ships (frigates, destroyers, and cruisers), submarines, historic sites, and the reserve fleet in Middle Loch. Public tours of Pearl Harbor are few and far between, so this is definitely an exciting opportunity.

In addition, because this tour coincides with the start of RIMPAC 2012, there will be many foreign ships in port also, making this tour even more special.

The tour will take place at 4:00pm next week Friday, June 29th and will depart at the USS Arizona Memorial Visitors Center. If you are interested in attending, please contact Rep. K. Mark Takai’s office at 586-8455!
