The USS NC 777 submarine was commissioned in Wilmington this weekend in front of 6,000 invitation only guests. It was absolutely fabulous!! When I was Miss USA, I did a USO tour in Newport News, VA and visited the sub, it's crew and builders while it was still in construction. They were so kind to me and I loved the experience. Well, I was a guest at the NC Azalea Festival a few weeks ago with Commander Mark Davis (pretty much the boss that runs the sub) and he invited me to the commissioning and needless to say, I was ecstatic!So here we are with our good friends, Wells and Dawnn and of course the Captain and his lovely wife B.
The sub is now ready for battle and tops any other naval force in the world. Don't mess with the best! A huge thanks to Commander Davis, Senator Elizabeth Dole and Wilmington Mayor Bill Saffo for a weekend I'll never forget!
