U. S. Navy to Name Ship USNS Lucy Stone

An article posted 20 September 1916 on Worcester Telegram.com gives information about, and local reaction to the news that the U.S. Navy will name a fleet replenishment oiler in honor of 19 century West Brookfield native Lucy Stone.  Lucy was active in both the Women's Suffrage, and the Abolitionist movements.

Update : A U. S. Navy press release dated 29 September 19, 2024 announced the christening of the USNS Lucy Stone (T-AO 209), a fleet replenishment oiler at the General Dynamics NASSCO shipyard in San Diego, California.  A full account of the ceremony may be found at this link. https://www.navy.mil/Press-Office/News-Stories/Article/3913761/usns-lucy-stone-christened-as-mscs-newest-fleet-replenishment-oiler/
