Showing trim lines and a reconditioning from stem to stern, the old 'Grace G,' once the proud possession of Commander William J. Hansen, was recently purchased as the recreation boat of the Fleet All Weather Training Unit here.
Built in Red Bank, New Jersey, in 1929 and powered by a 110 h. p. Flagship marine engine the new fishing boat has an overall length of 32 feet 7 inches.
An informal contest was held by FAWTU to find a suitable name for the new fishing boat. The winning name, "Misguided Miss L," was submitted by C. J. Ringwood, Aviation Machinist first class. In return for submitting the winning name Ringwood received a $25.00 savings bond, presented to him by Captain L. S. Price, Commanding Officer of FAWTU.
Captain Price was instrumental in laying the groundwork and authorizing the purchase of the "Misguided Miss L." Because of his foresight more than 125 officers and men have, to date, enjoyed the fishing parties, and the daily schedule points to many more enjoyable trips.
