* Patrol Gunboat Association Reunion (Asheville and Tacoma Class Patrol Gunboats, Tenders and Staff) will take place Aug. 12 to 16 at the Founder's Inn in Virginia Beach, Va.

The first USS Tulsa (PG-22), was an Asheville-class gunboat, commissioned in 1923 and in service until 1946. The ship’s name was changed in 1944 because a new cruiser was planned to use the name.
