Fun fact: the USS Michigan is an OHIO class ship. /ducks

Some things start out in Ohio but find their success in life at Michigan (See: Bo & Jim)

and Custer, George Armstrong.
Guess you could call Gen. Custer a success, at least at Gettysburg where he mounted a charge with "C'mon you Wolverines!" and turned back a much superior JEB Stuart force leaving Pickett's Charge without support. Yet, he got his West Point appointment as a Ohio native.

Largest, yes. Most advanced? Nope... The Seawolf class (SSN 21) is more advanced and more capable, and the Virginia class (SSN-774) is even newer. What doesn't matter, though, is what platform the Seal's ride on when dealing death and destruction to our enemies. So long as they get there safe...

Many times you can write to ship itself to receive ceremonial or ship specific gear. Ask for what items they have available by firing off a note to :
Supply Officer
USS MICHIGAN (SSGN 727)
FPO AP 96698-2096
(already got mine while at NEX-Kiisap. :)

a "crap ton" of Tomahawk LAMs.

+1 for using Ohio and class in the same sentence.

It would be really cool if the Wolverines made a video for the USS Michigan.

Upholding a proud tradition. In 1909, 250 to 400 (reports vary) of the crew of the USS Michigan (BB-27), which was docked at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, went to Franklin Field to cheer on Yost's Wolverines as they upset mighty Penn 12-6. Penn was the defending national champion and was on a 23-game winning streak.

Thanks for your service USS Michigan crew.

Not everyone on this crew is from the state though, correct? It's just a connection to the name of the boat, right? I feel dumb for asking that but I think this is really cool either way.
September 7th, 2016 at 7:27 AM ^
No, not a dumb question at all. The Skipper is a Wisky graduate. He appreciates the support of Jim wearing their USS Michigan hat.
