CARRYING ON A TRADITION: Did you know that the wartime crew of the Massachusetts published a ship's newspaper? It was called the Bay Stater, and you can examine authentic issues of this newspaper, which are on display in our Crewmembers' Hall on BB59.

Today, Battleship Cove continues this tradition by publishing the Bay Stater magazine, free with all of our Museum Membership packages. This attractive quarterly publication keeps members updated on Battleship Cove's events and programs, and includes exclusive interviews with leadership figures like Senator John McCain, and US Secretary of Veterans Affairs Anthony Principi.

Additionally, the Bay Stater keeps you current on all our ship restoration projects, and gives you a behind-the-scenes perspective on our staff and museum leaders.

THE SON ALSO RISES: If any man epitomizes American values, it is Senator John McCain. A distinguished veteran, statesman, and family man, this retired naval aviator has dedicated his life to national service, as his father and grandfather, both four-star admirals, did before him.
