David Taylor Model Basin aluminum replacement program

Tom's summers working there; Severn River corrosion test as source of Navy corrosion data; classified sonar research building. Setting for the aluminum-replacement program.

So in the early to mid eighties, David Taylor — this is Annapolis, just across from the Naval Academy. Some of you pointed out that it's just a park now, but they used to have some real work going on there. There are some very nice buildings. I remember Captain Corky Graham — I don't know if he ever made admiral, but he had been a student in 13A, and he rose to the rank of captain. When he became commander of David Taylor, he kicked someone out, because there's a beautiful antebellum-type home on the grounds, and he was single, but he kicked out some other captain because he wanted to live in this nice antebellum home.
