Summertime is here and that means conventions, outdoor activities and lots of driving. We would like to encourage everyone to remain safe during these hot months. If you are behind the wheel, basking in the sun or gathering with friends always be aware of unsafe practices.

Speaking of getting together, the annual Fleet Day is coming up on Saturday, July 27th. This will be held at Taylorsville Park in Taylorsville Utah. The games, that are open to everyone, will run from 10am to 5pm. This year the USS White Buffalo is coordinating the games. We are looking forward to seeing our Star Trek family there.

What did you all think of the final season of Star Trek: Discovery? We are talking about it on the Seventh Fleet Discord. While there are no new episodes coming out in June, the second season of Star Trek: Prodigy starts on Netflix in July. All episodes should drop on the same day so happy binging.

Congratulations To:
Emily Bolander (USS Pulsar) for being promoted to the rank of Ensign.

Hailing Frequencies Open logo

The fifth and final season of Star Trek: Discovery is almost upon us. It has been quite a ride. It will be interesting to see where this final adventure takes us. A lot of us have been enjoying Star Trek: Strange New Worlds that was presented to us after the second season of Discovery. We will be watching on Paramount+ on April 4th. Don’t forget that any spoiler discussion of the episodes should take place in the #Spoiler-Zone channel of the Seventh Fleet Discord server.

The filming has completed on the Section 31 movie for Paramount+. There has already been some photos and a special announcement made about one of the characters that had her origins on The Next Generation.

We have a date for our upcoming Fleet Day. The games will be held on Saturday, July 27th at a park in Taylorsville. This is a fun event that everyone can bring their families and friends to attend. Thank you to the USS White Buffalo for putting this Fleet event together.

Spring is here and a lot of us can’t wait for the warmer weather. Don’t forget that safety should be at the forefront when you start with your outdoor activities. One of the events that the State of Utah holds every April is the Great Utah Shakeout coming up on April 18th. This is a state-wide earthquake drill that starts at 10:15 am. Information on how to prepare for this drill and how you can protect yourself from earthquakes can be found at the link just posted above.

Don’t forget to join us on the Seventh Fleet Discord server. Gif-Wars has been very popular as well as sharing memes. The #Spoiler-Zone is where we can openly talk about the latest episodes (not just of Star Trek) without having to worry about spoiling it for someone who hasn’t seen the episodes yet. We also need photos of your pets for the #Porthos-Pals channel. This becoming the new online hangout.

Hailing Frequencies Open November/December 2023

Leave a comment
Hailing Frequencies Open logo

So our apologies about the lack of an update recently. The primary webmaster who writes up the monthly Hailing Frequencies Open had a medical issue last month. Thankfully he has made a recovery and is now back in action (after following doctor’s orders). To make up for it, we will combine November and December into one post.

It is with a sad heart that we must announce that Aimee Jacobs of the USS Ticonderoga passed away in November due to complications with cancer. There was a very good turnout of fleet members at her viewing and funeral. A donation was made by both the Seventh Fleet and the USS Ticonderoga to her funeral expenses. We would like to extend our condolences to her husband, Brad Jacobs, and the rest of Aimee’s family.

Here is what the cover to the 2024 Seventh Fleet Calendar will look like. If you haven’t gotten your $10 in to buy one, please contact your commanding officer ASAP. We need to have 50 orders to get the best price for a print run. This calendar will contain photos of the various 25th Anniversary Bingo entries.

Speaking of 2024, we have a date for the Admiral’s Banquet. It will be Saturday, February 3rd in Roy, Utah. This is a uniformed or nice dressed event where we come to celebrate the anniversary of the Seventh Fleet. All members and their plus one are invited to attend. All of the January dates were booked, so we had to move to the first Saturday in February. The USS Kelly is hosting and they have quite a few items that they are looking forward to presenting. There will also be another silent auction at the banquet. Also at the banquet we will be recognizing the winners of the 25th Anniversary Bingo. Make sure your commanding officer has your credits down if you made a bingo (completed five items) or blackout (completed all items) so that we can make sure your award is present.

The USS Valkyrie is back under command of Captain Charles Core after Lt. Commander John Paskett has stepped away to take some much needed leave. The chapter is now running as a Constitution Refit class with the registry of NCC-6353. We thank Lt. Commander Paskett for his service.

For some reason, the email we have set up for the Seventh Fleet academy on the @seventhfleet.org domain hasn’t been forwarding to Commodore Marla Trowbridge, the Academy Commandant. To make sure that emails are getting to her, please use SeventhFleetAcademy@gmail.com for all correspondence. If you have sent something recently and did not receive a response, please re-send to the gmail address listed above.

Star Trek: Prodigy will be available on Netflix starting on December 25th. The last season of Star Trek: Discovery will launch sometime in April, 2024. Pre-production has started on the Section 31 movie.

If you are interested in being contacted by one of our chapters for membership, please fill out our Online Interest Form. We will then forward it to the chapter that you requested.

Don’t forget to join us on the Seventh Fleet Discord server. Gif-Wars has been very popular as well as sharing memes.

We had a great Fleet Day 2023 last month. Many thanks to the crew of the USS Pulsar for putting on a great event. This is basically our summer reunion for our Star Trek family and every chapter was represented. Don’t worry, if you missed out the USS White Buffalo will be hosting the 2024 Fleet Day next year.

FanX: The Salt Lake Comic Convention is quickly approaching. We will have a booth coordinated by the USS Valkyrie and the USS White Buffalo will be running the Artemis bridge simulator at the con. Both sections are in need of volunteers. If you are able to help out, please contact your commanding officer. This convention will be held at the Salt Palace on September 21-23.

When the call goes out to Star Trek fandom, the fans responds in droves. As most of you may have heard, the future of Star Trek: Prodigy is up in the air right now. If you haven’t watched this show, it may have already been pulled off of Paramount+. You can still get the disks from Amazon by following this link. There has also been a #SaveStarTrekProdigy petition started at Change.org that you can sign at this link. Talk about the show on social media with the hashtag and sign the petition. It has been a great show that has contributed to the Star Trek universe.

Science fiction author Peter David has written several Star Trek novels and comics. We’ve had the opportunity to meet him at FanX: The Salt Lake Comic Convention. Unfortunately he has been experiencing several compounding health issues, which unfortunately have lead to several medical bills. There has been a GoFundMe set up for him and we would like to encourage anyone who can to donate.

We’ve only experienced three episodes of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season two, but they have been AH-Maze-ing. The episodes have only continued to get better.

Welcome Aboard:
Crewman 2nd Class Keira Jensen who is joining the USS Valkyrie
Crewman 2nd Class Caden Wesner who is joining the USS Valkyrie
Crewman 2nd Class Ivy Zemke who is joining the USS Valkyrie

“We Do Not Stand Alone” is more than just a motto for the club. It is words we should live by and put into action. The commanding officer of the USS Kelly let us know that a member has reached his training assignment for the Army National Guard.

What an ending to Star Trek: Picard. Wow! To all of the actors, writers and production personnel we just want to say “Very well done!” If you haven’t seen it yet, we won’t spoil anything for you, but go see it sooner than later. There were a lot of things that we were not expecting. There was a lot of closure and happy moments. Thank you to everyone who worked on this series. Hopefully we will see the (rumored) spin-off that everyone wants to see. Hint: Sign the petition.

If you are missing new Star Trek on Paramount+, you won’t have to wait very much longer. Season two of the very well done (and Bingo inspiring) Star Trek: Strange New Worlds will be released on Thursday, June 15th.

Science fiction author Peter David has written several Star Trek novels and comics. We’ve had the opportunity to meet him at FanX: The Salt Lake Comic Convention. Unfortunately he has been experiencing several compounding health issues, which unfortunately have lead to several medical bills.

We have been very happy with the crew reactions to the Seventh Fleet Bingo. This is our game we are playing for the entire year of 2023 to celebrate our organization’s 25th anniversary. Keep sending your photos into Bingo@SeventhFleet.org. We will be posting some very soon on this blog.

The crew of the USS Kelly are making plans to attend the Las Vegas Star Trek convention coming up on August 3-6. Details are still being worked out, but they would like to extend an invitation to go with them.

The third season of Star Trek: Picard has been knocking it out of the park. Every Thursday is a celebration to sit down and watch new Star Trek. We can’t wait for the upcoming seasons of Strange New Worlds, Lower Decks and other seasons that will soon be released on Paramount+.

There are a couple of you who purchased the Seventh Fleet calendar and haven’t picked it up yet. If you are missing a calendar, please let us know. The commanding officers should have the calendars for the chapter orders.

Don’t forget that we are also active on our Seventh Fleet Discord Server. We have special channels for posting your bingo pictures, memes, events, rolplaying, and even a spoiler section if you can’t wait to talk about the latest episodes. Feel free to join us.

At the Admiral’s Banquet, there was an opportunity to order custom t-shirts with various funny Star Trek sayings on them. The cost is $15 a shirt. The following designs are available by emailing valkyrie63534@gmail.com.

Congratulations To:
Lt. Commander Jennifer Lee who was named the Executive Officer on the USS Valkyrie.

So the 2023 Admiral’s Banquet was a great success. If you missed it, you missed some good food and some good times with friends. We had a chance to watch a special video from Friend of the Fleet, Larry “Dr. Trek” Nemecek congratulating the members for making it to 25 years as a Star Trek club. Many thanks to the members of the USS Valkyrie for putting together the wonderful pasta bar that we all enjoyed. Captain Ann Knowlton ran another successful silent auction and we want to thank the City of Richmond for use of their wonderful facility. The USS Kelly is hosting the 2024 Admiral’s Banquet which is tentatively planned for Saturday, January 27th. They are already working on the plans for this event.

And speaking of the Seventh Fleet 25th Anniversary, we are celebrating all year long. At the banquet we had a presentation giving us the different challenges that we are all participating in for 25th Anniversary Bingo. This was inspired by the Enterprise Bingo seen on the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds episode “Spock Amok“. To find out the details, head over to our special page located at Bingo.SeventhFleet.org. There you can see the explanations of the different challenges and how you can get credit for doing them. Don’t forget, if you post them to social media, use the hashtags of #7thFleet25 and #WeDoNotStandAlone.

The crew of the USS Kelly are making plans to attend the Las Vegas Star Trek convention coming up on August 3-6. Details are still being worked out, but they would like to extend an invitation to go with them.

The release date for season three of Star Trek: Picard is Thursday, February 16th. The latest trailers have come out and several Seventh Fleet members are really interested in watching the final season.

Congratulations To:
Eric Moorer from the USS Kelly for being promoted to the rank of Ensign.
Julie Henkes from the USS Kelly for being promoted to the rank of Lieutenant (j.g.)

Welcome to the year 2023. It is a time of excitement as the new year brings a chance for new opportunities. We are saddened by the recent lost of Captain Roger Taylor, but we are looking forward to getting together to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the founding of Starfleet Command’s Seventh Fleet.

The 2023 Admiral’s Banquet will be held on Saturday, January 28th at the Richmond City building in Richmond, Utah. This uniformed (or nice dressed) event will start at Noon and is being hosted by the USS Valkyrie. We will be holding a memorial and gathering for photos. Chapters will present reports and music videos. This is a special event for members and their plus ones to gather and celebrate our Star Trek family.

To celebrate the 25th Anniversary, the Seventh Fleet will be planing a variant of Enterprise Bingo seen on the Star Trek: Strange New World episode “Spock Amok“. This yearlong event has twelve challenges with the titles listed below. If you complete five of the challenges, you will earn a BINGO. If you complete all twelve then you will earn a Blackout. You can complete one of the challenges by taking a photo with you doing the challenge. This can be sent/shown to your Commanding Officer, emailed to Bingo@SeventhFleet.org or posted on social media with the hashtag #7thFleet25 and #WeDoNotStandAlone. There will be a separate blog post with additional details.

The titles of the twelve challenges are:

45th Rule of Acquisition
Allamaraine
Best Served Cold
Directive 927
Do you Trust Me?
Ex Astris Scientia
GCEP

Hailing Frequencies Open December 2022

As we reach the last month of the year, we look back with many fond memories. We were able to finally start getting together as a Star Trek family. We were able to attend conventions and club meetings. We are very proud of how this group stuck together and helped everyone out in challenging times. This is part of the spirit of community that we’ve been able to foster.

The due date to order your 2023 Seventh Fleet Calendar is December 18th. This is when your $10/issue needs to be delivered to your commanding officer. Remember that we need to reach a minimum of 50 calendars to get our price (which has not changed since we started doing the calendar 11 years ago).

The 2023 Admiral’s Banquet is quickly approaching. This will be held on Saturday, January 28th at the Richmond City facility in Utah (that we’ve held the banquet in the past). Since everyone liked the Noon start time at the last banquet, we will be sticking with this time for the next event. The USS Valkyrie will be hosting the event and the meal will be in the theme of a cantina. More details will be forthcoming, but mark your calendars to attend. This is one of the few fleet-wide events that we host.

And speaking of the USS Valkyrie, congratulations to Lt. Commander John Paskett who has been named as Acting Captain. Lt. Commander Seth Nielsen is now the acting Executive Officer. Captain Charles Corr is moving into a more active roll helping out the Admiralty with his Fleet Captain duties. Thank you to those leaders who have stepped forward to help out.

And finally, 2023 is the 25th Anniversary of the Seventh Fleet. This is an amazing achievement from the members as most clubs don’t make it to their second year. We plan to celebrate all year long by playing 25th Anniversary Bingo. If you’ve seen Enterprise Bingo from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, then you may have an idea of what this will be about. The full details will be released before the official start on January 1st. But the titles of the bingo entries are as follows.

45th Rule of Acquisition
Allamaraine
Best Served Cold
Directive 927
Do you Trust Me?
Ex Astris Scientia
GCEP
Quark 2000
The Scorch
