April Maletz presents an engaging historical presentation about the role of women in the U.S. Navy aboard the decommissioned Iowa-Class Battleship USS Wisconsin (BB-64).

The event is the largest and longest running event for new CPO selects in the Hampton Roads area; and attracts over 850 CPO selects from over 50 area and out of state commands each year. The event was hosted by the Hampton Roads Naval Museum, Nauticus, the City of Norfolk, the Hampton Roads Naval Historical Foundation and area Chief Petty Officers.
