Hi all,

The 7th BDE is hosting an Away Mission to see the Battleship New Jersey at 62 Battleship Place, Camden, NJ Saturday, May 2nd at 10 AM. All Region 7 Members are cordially invited to attend this event.

Prices to see this ship range from $10 to $40 depending on what you want to do. There are three basic options, Self-Guided Access, Guided Fire Power Tour and Main Deck Access. The Guided Fire Power Tour is a guided 90-minute tour and includes full Self-Guided Access. Keep in mind as per the Battleship New Jersey’s website, “Full tours of the Battleship New Jersey are physical and require climbing and descending steep steps/ladders. You will also be stepping over “knee -knockers” or high step-openings along the tour.”

After you do your tour of this Battleship, I’m sure you’ll be hungry. I contacted Ponzio’s Diner at 7 West Rt. 70 Cherry Hill, NJ and the manager I spoke with said they’d be able to accommodate our group. I’d recommend checking out their menu at ponzios.com. They have a large selection of various types of foods. Let’s plan on gathering back at the Visitor’s Center at about 2:30 PM. From there we’ll leave for Ponzio’s Diner. The distance from the Battleship NJ to Ponzio’s Diner is about 16 minutes / 7.4 miles.

In order to better coordinate this event, please let me know if you’re planning to tour the Battleship NJ and if you plan to go to dinner too. Please send an email to me at JusticeOC@aol.com with your name/chapter and if you plan to go see the Battleship NJ and if you plan to go to dinner too, no later than Wednesday, April 29th.

I should point out the Main Deck Access is available for guests using mobility aids with no stairs or ladders and elevator boarding is available. Should you be interested in going to this event, please check out the Battleship New Jersey’s website at battleshipnewjersey.org The phone number to contact this venue is (866) 877-6262. This website has complete information and I’d recommend getting your tickets in advance for the 12 PM tour or you may get your ticket when you arrive. Should you plan to get your ticket when you get there, please plan to arrive no later than 10 AM. Hopefully, we’ll be able to get a group photo too before everyone starts going on their tours.

Please be aware there is a parking fee of $15. So, you may want to carpool if you’re able to.

Should anyone have any questions about this planned event, please feel free to contact me.

See you all soon,
ADM Michael Stein
Commanding Officer/OIC 86th MSG
USS Justice – NCC 556-A
