History

After 11 months in the role Captain Bainbridge stood down to join Astro Control Services and CAPT David Sanders took over.

The Covington was changed to be the meeting chapter for Tampa Bay, FL, and as such Captain (JG) Rick Matheny took command, the ship continues to engage and support members that are based further afield.
