"These packets are larger than the keel laying invitation shown on the previous page. These packets were
obviously mailed after the actual keel laying ceremony; since, they would not have had photos of the event
before it occurred. I am not sure why there were two types of post facto cards - one in red and one in blue.
Perhaps a plank owner can explain this? Petty Officer Rakers was fortunate to locate a few of these, while
aboard U.S.S. Richard B. Russell (SSN-687). "I would be glad to scan the inside pages and a larger image if
anyone is interested." - Steve Rakers
