late Captain Beard was a major sponsor of the USS Lionfish.
NOT
YOUR AVERAGE JOE: Battleship Cove regrets
to report the passing of Captain Joseph Beard, a longtime director and loyal supporter
of USS Lionfish. As Commanding Officer of Naval Reserve Submarine Division I-41,
Captain Joseph Beard exemplified leadership: His submarine division trained on
board Lionfish. Fortunately for Battleship Cove, when Beard's term as CO
expired, his commitment to the ship and the museum that preserves her did not.
Beard underscored this fact in 2002, 2003 and 2004 with $5,000 donations to Lionfish.
Beard,
who utilized the Lionfish as a reserve training vessel in Providence, Rhode
Island, has given a lot of his own personal fortune to restore and preserve the
vessel. In 2001 Beard spearheaded the restoration of the submarine's five-inch
wet mount, which was discovered
by a Cove volunteer outside a Norwich, Connecticut, VFW and dedicated during the
Lionfish reunion in September 2002.
