USS Will Rogers (SSBN-659) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia USS Will Rogers (SSBN-659) was a Benjamin Franklin-class ballistic missile submarine—the last of the "41 for Freedom" Polaris submarines. She was launched on 21 July 1966 sponsored by Muriel Buck Humphrey, the wife of Vice President of the United States Hubert Humphrey, and commissioned on 1 April 1967 with Captain R.Y. Kaufman and Commander W.J. Cowhill in command of the Blue and Gold crews respectively. Will Rogers was based out of Groton, Connecticut, until 1974 when she shifted to a forward deployment at Rota, Spain. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/USS_Will_Rogers_(SSBN-659)   (366 words)

USS Will Rogers (SSBN 659) Will Rogers - born on 4 November 1879 near the present town of Claremore, Okla. - received sporadic formal education between 1887 and 1898, when he left home to become a cowboy on the Eking Ranch in Lipscomb County, Tex., near the town of Highness. From 1925 to 1928, Rogers traveled the length and breadth of the United States in a “lecture tour.” During this time he became the first civilian to fly from coast to coast with pilots flying the mail in early air mail flights. Through Rogers’ continuing series of columns between 1922 and 1935, as well as in his personal appearances and radio broadcasts, he won the loving admiration of the American people, poking jibes in witty ways at the issues of the day and prominent people--often politicians. navysite.de /ssbn/ssbn659.htm   (828 words)
