Sea Aggie Former Student Network

We at the SAFSN are very proud of Captain Wade and his accomplishment. We hope continued success to serving on the Sea Aggie Former Student Network Board of Directors and as Master of T/S Lone Star State.

Today, Captain Wade Howell ’02 became the first Master of TS LONE STAR STATE, the Texas A&M Maritime Academy’s new training ship and fourth National Security Multi-Mission Vessel. This historic milestone has been made possible by decades of work by countless dedicated supporters – thank you! Details on welcoming the Lone Star State home will be provided in the coming days. Monitor university channels for more information.
