This page is the gateway to various documents concerning the Towers, starting off with the "Welcome Aboard" pamphlet sent to me by Micheal Gormady .  Additional material will be added as it becomes available.

On 4/10/00 added the 1961 USS Towers Commissioning Book, a special thanks to Jerry Minas!

If you're interested in the documentation for the original 'Shellback' ceremony on the Towers; check out Pictures 2 / Gallery 7 !!
