Hailing Frequencies Open July 2026

Hailing Frequencies Open logo

Normally we like to talk about upbeat things here in this monthly blog-newsletter. However we also have to acknowledge when thing happen around us. Especially when we try to follow our motto of “We Do Not Stand Alone”. The month of June had quite a few deaths in our Star Trek family and we wanted to support our friends and family.

On the USS Ticonderoga, we lost Brad Powell who had passed away while camping. A sad story on the USS White Buffalo where a teenager of the Raven GreyFrogget is no longer with us. There is a GoFundMe page set up for any donations to help with the funeral costs. Steve Wall on the USS Rendezvous had also passed away in the month of June. And finally Johnathan “Gumby” Simmons from the USS Stormbringer had passed away at the end of June. Gumby wasn’t a member of the Seventh Fleet, but always welcomed us when we visited our Star Trek cousins at StarFest in Denver. To all of those affected by these passing, We Grieve With Thee. May their memories always be a blessing.

Don’t forget that Season Four of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds will premier on Paramount+ on Thursday, July 23rd. The latest trailer has been released here.

The 2026 Fleet Day is coming up quick on Saturday, July 18. The USS Ticonderoga will be hosting this event as part of their 30th Anniversary celebration. This will be held at the Weber County Southwest Branch in Roy, Utah. There will be both indoor and outdoor events. This is a family friendly event that is open to all members and interested parties. This is only one of two events that the Fleet plans for the year.

We are looking for a host for the 2027 Admiral’s Banquet next January. We are also looking for new locations to hold the banquet at. If you happen to visit a community center, banquet hall or other gathering location that you think could hold 100 people, please find the details and pass them onto your Commanding Officer.

If you voted in any of the primary elections last month, make sure you add it to your duty reports to your chapters as it’s worth Leadership Promotional Merit Points.

If you are looking for more information about us feel free to look around this website. Please visit our Online Interest Form (which is undergoing changes so you can also email 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.

Summertime is here and this is the time when we can get a lot of reading done while relaxing or on vacation. If you’ve read any new Star Trek books, tell us about them. If you write up a review and send it to the webmaster, it could show up as a future blog post or even in a club newsletter. Speaking of new books, it was just announced that Jett Reno’s Guide to the USS Athena will be published in September of this year. It is good to see that Star Trek technical manuals are still catching the attention of Sci-Fi fans.

The 2026 Fleet Day is coming up quick on Saturday, July 18. The USS Ticonderoga will be hosting this event as part of their 30th Anniversary celebration.

The primary elections are currently happening across the United States. Did you know that if you voted in any election (big or small) you can earn Leadership Promotional Merit Points. And if you vote in both the Primary and General election, you will earn the PMPs for both efforts. We feel that participating in the community electoral process is worthy of leadership points because you help shape the future. Oh, just make sure you report them to your chapter as per their local reporting guidelines.

March is upon us and it is a period of time changes (Daylight Savings), weather changes (hello spring) and the last few episodes of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy (what a first season). Our first conventions are quickly approaching (SaltCON and Ogden-Con) and we are starting to come out of our winter blahs.

SaltCON-Spring will be held on March 12-15 at the Davis Convention Center in Layton. This gaming convention is also where the Artemis Bridge Simulator will be run by the USS White Buffalo and Starship Frontiers. If you would like to volunteer, please get a hold of Captain Aaron Stevens. Then on Saturday, April 4 is Ogden-Con that will be held at the Ogden Union Station next to the Frontrunner stop. The USS Ticonderoga will have a booth there with a Star Trek photo op. We are also looking for a chapter that would like to coordinate volunteers for FanX: The Salt Lake Comic Convention held at the Salt Palace on September 24-26. And because we’ve had several members attend the Star Trek Cruise (and post an article on it) we’ve added that to our convention calendar.

Fleet Day will be held on Saturday, July 18 in the Layton/Ogden area and will be hosted by the USS Ticonderoga. This is an open event for all families and friends to attend. More details soon.

Hailing Frequencies Open January 2026

Hailing Frequencies Open logo

After a disastrous year of 2025, we are more than happy to enter 2026. Hopefully it will be a year of peace and growth for us all as we make our world a better place in the future. We would like to encourage everyone to reach out to those in need, make yourself better by personal growth or just do one thing a day that makes a difference. Let’s make this a better year to remember.

January 3rd will be our 28th Anniversary as an organization. We would like to thank every member who volunteered their time, energy and effort. Even it it was just showing up and participating at the meetings and activities. We wouldn’t have been able to do this without you.

As our tradition, we hold the Admiral’s Banquet in January to celebrate our anniversary. This year, the USS Rendezvous is hosting the event at the enclosed pavilion at the Trenton Park on Saturday the 24th. Note, this is not the same building we’ve met at previously in Richmond as originally intended. The address is 14 W. Main Street, Trenton, UT. The doors will open at 11:00am with the meal of soup and salad starting around 12:30pm This is a time where the Admiralty celebrates the members and acknowledges the accomplishments of the past year.

Also in January is the premier of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. This will be aired on Paramount+ on Thursday the 15th. Several trailers have already been released and there are a lot of returning Star Trek alumni who will be on the show. Watch it together as a group and then tell us what you think about it on our Discord Server, our Facebook Page, our BlueSky Account or just email us at Join@SeventhFleet.org.

Hailing Frequencies Open December 2025

Hailing Frequencies Open logo

The month of November was a busy one for the nanites working on the Seventh Fleet website. Almost 2,700 photos were uploaded to the Seventh Fleet Photo Albums going all the way back to 1988 (before we started as a parent organization). We were able to identify most of the individuals in the photos and the events that they were taken at. But we may have messed up a few. Corrections have already been sent in (and updated). Thank you. These photos were also meta tagged by event and chapter. Thus when you click on one of the pages for that chapter, you will find a link to all of their photos (and blog posts). We want more photos from the events that you have just enjoyed as well as those from past events. Please send them to Photos@SeventhFleet.org.

With it also being December, it’s time to get your orders in for the 2026 Seventh Fleet Calendar. The publisher was able to give us a good bid so we could keep the cost at $10 a calendar. This will run from January 2026 to January 2027. Contact your CO ASAP if you would like to order one.

Another notice about December that we would like to pass along is the warning about the weather. Travel can get hazardous over the next few months, so be careful out there. Especially traveling to see friends and family for the upcoming holidays.

The Seventh Fleet Admiral’s Banquet is coming up next month on Saturday, January 24th (note, this isn’t the last Saturday of the month). It will be held in Richmond, Utah. For additional details, contact your chapter CO. This will be hosted by the USS Rendezvous.

Did you have a good Thanksgiving? Tell us about it on our Discord Server, our Facebook Page, our BlueSky Account or just email us at Join@SeventhFleet.org.

Lieutenant Josh Sorensen for being named the Acting Executive Officer of the USS Pulsar

Another FanX has come and gone and we had a ton of fun. We got to meet a lot of new friends, raise some money for a good charity and play a lot of Artemis. If you are checking out our website after the convention, welcome. We hope you reach out to us soon using the information on our Online Interest Page, on our Discord Server, our Facebook Page, our BlueSky Account or just email us at Join@SeventhFleet.org.

The Seventh Fleet booth before the convention starts.

We would like to thank the many, many volunteers and members from the USS White Buffalo, USS Roanoke, USS Pulsar, USS Ticonderoga, USS Kelly, USS Delaware, USS Valkyrie and USS Rendezvous. Not only for helping out with the booth or Artemis, but for helping out with the convention or even just stopping by to say hello to members of the Star Trek family. We truly Do Not Stand Alone. We would also like to thank Dan Farr, the FanX Staff and volunteers for all of the help they provided that allowed us to fulfill our community service charter. We also made sure to thank the police officers who were present keeping us safe at the event. Their patrols and K9 units were noticed and appreciated.

Have you been listening to Star Trek: Khan audio drama or seen the new Star Trek Scouts aimed at very young fans? We will link both of the first episodes below for your enjoyment.

We need your geeky photos!!!!! Not only for the soon-to-be updated Photo Albums, but for the 2026 Seventh Fleet Calendar. Please send them to Photos@SeventhFleet.org. Please identify the people in the photo. We had a lot of people tell us how impressed the past calendars were when they visited us at the FanX booth.

The nanites are still polishing up various sections of the website. We still plan to tackle the photo albums and Seventh Fleet Council page soon. If you see anything out of place or have suggestions, please email Webmaster@SeventhFleet.org.

Welcome Aboard:
Crewman 2nd Class Tommy Bencomo who joined the USS Roanoke
Crewman 2nd Class Abby Callor who joined the USS Roanoke
Crewman 2nd Class Derek Callor who joined the USS Roanoke
