I wish I knew who "Ernie" was, and even who the Commanding Officer was (I cannot read the signature),
but maybe you do! If you do, please let me know!!! I bet there's a great story behind this presentation.
If you served on the Pelican, then this may be an extremely valuable and interesting piece for you to own.
I think it's very interesting! I'm happy to have saved it from total obscurity to be properly preserved.
Signed in gold ink.
USS
Pelican
(MHC-53)
was the third
Osprey
-class
coastal minehunter
and the third ship in the Navy to bear the name of the bird. From 1 January 1997 on,
Pelican
was part of the Naval Reserve Force. In that role the ship was used as training platform for naval reservists. Both decommissioned and stricken from the
Navy List
on 16 March 2007,
Pelican
was transferred to the
Hellenic Navy
the same day. There she was recommissioned as
Evniki
.
