Hailing Frequencies Open August 2025

Hailing Frequencies Open logo

If you missed out on the 2025 Fleet Day held in Roy, Utah this year, you missed out. The owner of The Queen’s Realm was very impressed with the events that we had that day. She posted a photo contest on her Facebook page (shared to the Seventh Fleet Facebook page) and if you appeared in one of the photos, stop by the store for a prize. Several store patrons stopped by to check out all of the fun that we were having. Several members also came up to us afterwards and said it was better than they were expecting. To Captain Joe Colflesh, thank you for coordinating all of the volunteers who ran games. There were quite a few trivia based games (if you participated, put that down on your duty report) and several members brought games of their own designs. To the game masters, thank you for volunteering your time to run these for our Star Trek family. The USS Ticonderoga is hosing the 2026 Fleet Day on Saturday, July 18th. It will be a return to the traditional format at a park in Clearfield.

Have you been watching the latest season of Strange New Worlds. Wow, they have pulled out a few different interesting episodes. Some that have had major connections to the continuity of the entire franchise. Some of these have been very interesting. Also the teasers and trailers that came out of the San Diego convention have been interesting to watch as well. If you haven’t seen them, here’s a few of them.

Our charity for FanX: The Salt Lake Comic Convention will be R.E.A.C.H. (Raising Education Through Arts Characters and Heroes). This 501c3 charity teaches anti-bullying literacy, history and art. Every year FanX gives us the opportunity to perform our community service charter. Instead of a booth on the floor, we will be coordinating our efforts with the Starship Frontier Artemis Bridge Simulator. Feel free to come visit us there.

There are some big changes coming up to our rank advancement system that will go into effect on September 1, 2025. For more information, contact your Commanding Officer. There will be more options and some streamlining of our current system depending upon your level of interest.

We are still trying to fix our online interest form with little success. We are about to move to a different plugin all together. If you’ve submitted a form and have not received any response, please let us know by emailing us at Join@SeventhFleet.org and let us know which chapter you would like to have reach out to you. You can also talk to us on our Facebook page, on our Discord server or by following us on our BlueSky account.

Video from Larry Nemecek

Friend of the Fleet, Larry “Dr. Trek” Nemecek sent in a special video to the members of the Seventh Fleet. This was a congratulations on the 25th Anniversary of the Star Trek club. He has graciously allowed us to post it on YouTube so we could share it with our members who did not see it at the Admiral’s Banquet. Thank you Larry.

FanX 2021 Photos/Videos Part One

And another FanX: The Salt Lake Comic Convention is in the books. Many thanks to the many volunteers from different Seventh Fleet chapters who helped out at the booth. We were able to raise some money for the Best Friends Animal Society-Utah. A big thank you to all of the members and friends who came by to visit us at the booth. And another big thank you to Dan Farr and his army of volunteers at the convention. We greatly appreciate your efforts in putting this show together.

If you are visiting our website after checking out our booth, welcome. Feel free to look around and learn more about us. If you have any questions or you would like to join one of our chapters, feel free to email us at Info@SeventhFleet.org. We hope that you’ll be able to join us at one of our many fun events in the future.

Here is a video taken at the con that features the Seventh Fleet.

Our own Admiral Stark was interviewed by Salt Lake Magazine at the con.

And we know that a lot of photos were taken at the convention. We would love to post them on a future blog post. Feel free to email them to Webmaster@SeventhFleet.org and we will upload them soon. Here are some that we already have.

Admiral’s Banquet 2021 CinC Speech

We missed seeing everyone at our annual Admiral’s Banquet which is usually held on the last Saturday in January. When faced with a challenge, this group comes together and finds ways round those issues. This year we held the banquet online where we connected by video conference. After a brief speech by the Commander-in-Chief, Rear Admiral Carl Stark, everyone settled down to eat a favorite meal and watch Galaxy Quest together. It was a movie we all owned and all enjoyed.

Here is the speech from the CinC for you to enjoy.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone later this year at the Fleet Picnic and Fleet Day. We also hope to see everyone at the 2022 Admiral’s Banquet.
