Thank you to everyone who attended our January 24th Admiral’s Banquet. And a special thank you to the crew of the USS Rendezvous for scrambling to find a new location after the initial site fell through. We will have some photos posted soon in the new 2026 Online Photo Album. We are now looking for hosts for the 2027 Admiral’s Banquet tentatively scheduled for January 30th. We are especially looking for possible hosting locations in different locations that are not too expensive. If you come across one that can hold at least 100 people and has kitchen facilities, please let your Commanding Officer know.

The 2026 Seventh Fleet calendars were passed out at the banquet. If you ordered one and haven’t picked it up yet, please contact your Commanding Officer.

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.

We’ve already got several conventions coming up soon. 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.

Several episodes of the new Star Trek: Starfleet Academy have been released and they have been amazing. While we don’t discuss spoilers on our Facebook Page or our BlueSky Account, we have a spoiler channel on our Discord Server. Don’t forget that you can also reach us by email at Join@SeventhFleet.org.

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.

Congratulations To:
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

And 2025 is now here. First things first, from your planet, welcome. Our big event for this month is our annual celebration of the founding of the Seventh Fleet called the Admiral’s Banquet. This is where the Admiralty gets to celebrate the many members of our Star Trek family. The USS Rendezvous is coordinating this year’s event. This year the banquet will be held in Richmond at the same location that we had some of our past banquets. This will be held on Saturday, January 25th starting at 11am. The cost for the banquet food will be $5.00, cash at the door. The food will be Dutch Oven Chicken or Pork, potatoes, salad, rolls and desert. There will be a Quark’s Bar run by the USS Valkyrie. There will be ship videos and a silent auction. Volunteers are needed for setup and take down. Please contact your Commanding Officer if you would like to help. This is a uniformed/nice-dressed event for members and their plus ones.

We were just informed of the passing of a Seventh Fleet member that happened earlier in 2024. In May, Dineh Torres had passed away while in care of her family. She had been a member of the USS Kelly back in 1994 and had attended several meetings and out-of-town conventions while with the club. In the photo below she is highlighted while we were at the Christa McAuliffe Space Center (a simulator that used Star Trek to educate kids). Many thanks to Erin Ruston for tracking down this information. The Seventh Fleet would like to extend our condolences to Dineh’s family. May her memory always be a blessing.

Wow, we were young.

So what did you all think of the season finale of Star Trek: Lower Decks? Admiral Stark informed us that he was getting a LOT of roleplaying game ideas that could be run using Star Trek Adventures from that last episode. Remember to keep the pressure on Paramount to get a return for the show with a special, mini-series or TV movie. And speaking of TV movies, Star Trek: Section 31 will premier on Paramount+ on Friday, January 24th. It will be good to see Michelle Yeoh back in the Star Trek universe.

We have a new social media account to use for communication purposes. With the rapid growth of BlueSky, we felt it was necessary to grab our username that we’ve used on other social media sites. The service has been adding a million members a day. A lot of Star Trek actors and professionals have made the jump as well including William Shatner, Kate Mulgrew, George Takei, Anson Mount, LeVar Burton, Wil Wheaton, Jeri Ryan, Robert Picardo, Michelle Hurd, Wilson Cruz, Todd Stashwick, Chase Masterson, Eugene Roddenberry, Alex Kurtzman, Terry Matalas, Mike McMahan, Mike Okuda, Larry Nemecek and many more. We are discovering more on a daily basis. You can follow the us by clicking here: @SeventhFleet.bsky.social.

If you are looking for more information about us feel free to look around this website. Please visit our Online Interest Form 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 or on our Discord server.

2024 is quickly coming to an end and what a wild ride it has been. We are certain that many members of our Star Trek family will be busy with the holidays. So remember to be safe out there when it comes to cooking and travel. The weather in the inter-mountain west can get nasty real quick.

The first three episodes of Star Trek: Lower Decks have been released on Paramount+ and they are hilarious. We have now seen what the Gallemites mentioned from Deep Space Nine look like. New episodes are released every Thursday. We don’t know what future plans are in store for Lower Decks after season five. While it’s been announced that this is the last season, there are always possibilities. A Lower Decks TV movie? Picked up by another streaming service like Star Trek Prodigy was? The best way to tell the powers that be that we want more is to watch these new episodes.

Conventions, Hailing Frequencies Open

Hailing Frequencies Open October 2024

Hailing Frequencies Open logo

Another FanX: The Salt Lake Comic Convention has come and gone. The Seventh Fleet was very well represented by our main booth with the full sized shuttle, the Artemis Simulator running two bridges and attendees in general. We had a lot of volunteers who helped at both locations and with the convention itself. Not only did we help the convention, but we were able to fulfill one of our primary missions of community service. Funds were raised for the Cache Community Food Pantry (and you can still donate by clicking on the link, please let them know that the Seventh Fleet sent you). Many thanks to the USS Rendezvous for coordinating the booth and the USS White Buffalo for coordinating the Artemis Simulator. And we couldn’t do this with out the help of Dan Farr and the staff and volunteers at FanX. Thank you.

The Seventh Fleet and Star Trek were also presented on the news at FanX. ABC4 had a presentation about the Star Trek: The Next Generation Panel. ABC4 also interviewed members of the Seventh Fleet at the Artemis Simulator. If you took pictures at the convention, please send them into Photos@SeventhFleet.org.

If you stopped by either location and checked us out, welcome. We hope you had fun at the convention. Please visit our Online Interest Form and let us know which chapter you would like to have reach out to you. Even if you wrote down your information at the booth, this helps us get your details to the chapter as quickly as possible. You can also look around this website and ask us questions. We would love to have us join the fun at one of our many upcoming activities.

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.

We are looking forward to the fifth season of Star Trek: Lower Decks that will be airing on Paramount+ on Thursday, October 24th. The first two episodes will premier on that date with new episodes continuing every Thursday until December 19th. Some of us are still crossing our fingers that there will be more Star Trek: Lower Decks in some format in the future. There will be new Lower Decks comics being released by IDW Publishing, but we’d love a series of Lower Deck made-for-TV movies (hint, hint). Hopefully if we all watch Lower Decks, the powers that be may consider it.

Actors, Conventions, Hailing Frequencies Open, Show News

Hailing Frequencies Open September 2024

Some sad news greeted us on August 5th when it was announced that actress Patti Yasutake passed away due to cancer. She was 70 years old and Star Trek fans knew her best as the character Nurse Alyssa Ogawa. Admiral Stark remembered meeting her at one of the Starfest conventions in Denver where she had the biggest smile.

In some good news, production in Toronto has officially started for the next Star Trek TV series, Star Trek Academy. Actors so far announced for this new series includes Holly Hunter, Paul Giamatti, Kerrice Brooks, Bella Shepard, George Hawkins, Karim Diane, Zoe Steiner and Sandro Rosta. Mary Wiseman, Oded Fehr and Tig Notaro would be returning as their respective characters from Star Trek Discovery. One of the biggest surprises is that the holographic doctor, played by Robert Picardo, will also be making an appearance. We don’t have a release date yet, but we are hopeful for something in mid-to-late 2025 on Paramount+.

FanX: The Salt Lake Comic Convention is quickly coming up in September. They have quite a few Star Trek guests announced. The Seventh Fleet will have a booth on the main vendor’s floor being conducted by the USS Rendezvous. Here we will be displaying the updated Shuttlepod Fairbanks. This will also be the 10th anniversary of the Fairbanks unveiling. The USS White Buffalo will also be running three bridges for the Artemis simulator. Volunteers are needed for both locations. If you would like to volunteer, please contact your Commanding Officer.

Feel free to join us on the Seventh Fleet Discord Server.
