| The photos below are courtesy of T.R. Lamb, husband of of Louise L. Ghormley, the granddaughter of Vice
Admiral Robert L. Ghormley. The bottle that is inside the silver outer case is a replacement for the original
launching bottle (dent's from the originally launching activity are visible in the lower right corner of the
second photo when enlarged to full size). The Mahogany box with its label was presented to Mrs. Robert L. Ghormley
after the Christening. It has been in the family ever since. |
