O-Zone Helps Bucks Visit USS
Columbus The OSU basketball team has traveled all the way to
Hawaii to play in the Rainbow classic this month, and
though the Bucks have worked hard on the trip, they did
have some time for sightseeing. The O-Zone is proud to
have played a small part in assisting the Buckeye
hoopsters in having a good time while in the Pacific.
Some months ago, O-Zone reader Fred Dohse emailed us
about a little change of address he had. Beside being a
loyal O-Zone supporter, Fred is a U. S. Naval officer who
had been assigned to the White House as an advisor to the
National Security Council. Fred was transferred to
Hawaii, where he now commands three squadrons of nuclear
attack submarines, one of which is the USS Columbus.
Fred sent the O-Zone staff official USS Columbus
hats, photos of The Columbus, and an invitation
to tour the boat if we are ever in Hawaii. Since Mr. Ed
is stuck here in snowy Columbus this December, he thought
it might be cool if Fred could host the OSU Basketball
team while they were in Hawaii. Mr. Ed contacted the OSU
basketball program, and found that they were indeed
interested in touring the boat. OSU director of
basketball operations Randy Shrout emailed Fred Dohse,
the arrangements were made, and the Bucks did in fact
have the opportunity to tour an actual working nuclear
attack boat while they were in Hawaii. Fred Dohse was
kind enough to send us some pictures of the Bucks as they
toured the sub. Hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
