From the May 2, 2016, Sussex County (NJ) Post by Glenn Rolfe.
Gunfire echoed across Cape Henlopen State Park on Saturday (April 30) as the surrender of the German U-boat-enactment of the surrender of the German U-boat-enactment of the surrender of the German U-boat U-858.
Military vehicles as well as uniformed American and German soldiers staged events.
This is was through the efforts of the Fort Miles Historical Association, the 261st Coast Artillery and 1252nd Service Command living history groups and Delaware State Parks.Special presentations focused on Delaware military history, the Civil Air Patrol during World War II, the Navy presence at Cape Henlopen and plans for the USS Missouri's 16-inch gun barrel.
Fort Miles was declared operational just before the attack on Pearl Harbor and was built to protect Delaware Bay and the Delaware River.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
