My father served aboard the Maryland and was there on Dec. 7, 1941 He was a GM 1st class in 6-B Division stationed on gun 3 that morning. Stanley Gruber is his name and he's doing fine. He and my mother are planning to attend the 60th reunion in Hawaii this year. I am writing this in hopes of hearing from any shipmates that know my dad or have any specific recolections of him during that period. Thank you and I'm proud of all you gentleman!

I recently saw one for sale on ebay so I contacted the company call Nauticus Models. It turns out the owner or this mail order model ship company is a friend of mine. He is based out of the Boston area and says he will try and keep 1/700 scale models of the Maryland availible for you vets. He can be reached at: This kit will measure about 8 inches long and is cast as she looked Dec 1941. Take Care!!!!!!
