Summary

Description The U.S. Navy ammunition ships USS Kilauea (AE-26) and USS Butte (AE-27) are christened in a dual ceremony at the Fore River Shipyard, Quincy, Massachusetts (USA), on 9 August 1967. Sponsors pulled lanyards which triggered christening devices aboard ships instead of smashing traditional champagne bottle. Unusual christening was necessary because of the time of the high tide on which the ships were to be moved.
