ff I Mrs. Robert A. Frosch, the wife of the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research and Development at the time of commissioning. The Tradition Of The Sponser The origin of the christening ceremony for seagoing vessels goes far back into antiquity when the spirit ofthe person christening the ship was said to center the ship and remain there forever. Passing on to modern times as an inviolable tradition, the christening of modern ships and boats by a special person is still practiced by all nations in one form or another. Ships of the U.S. Navy were orginally christened by men until the middle of the 19th century. On 22 August 1846, the first woman ever to sponsor a United States Ship, Mrs. Lavina Watson Fanning, christened the sloop of war, GERMANTOWN, at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. Since that time, the christening of a U.S. Navy ship has always been carried out by a woman. Even today, the sponsor continues to hold a special place in the hearts of the men who sail the Navy's Ships. . A, I H , 1 'su , , ,f f J, Wg, ,, fqmffyf, I ,, , ff, , f, ,ww Q
