	Will Rogers
		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 Ewing Ranch in Lipscomb County, Tex., near the town of Higgins.
		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.
		Will Rogers was based out of Groton, Conn., until 1974 when she shifted to a forward deployment at Rota, Spain.

		The events and observances will highlight the Cold War and the national leaders who founded and were the visionaries for the world's preeminent submarine force.

		Labs' options have been under consideration by the Navy, and officials say there are advantages and drawbacks to each of the alternatives- using multiple crews, for instance, will yield a greater efficiency of use, but will also wear submarines out faster, and only delays the shipbuilding requirements, for instance.
