   Waters from Idaho's Lakes Will Christen the Bow of the USS IDAHO
The first waters to grace the bow of the USS IDAHO at her christening will not be champagne,
nor the harsh saltwater of the Atlantic Ocean, but rather freshwater from Idaho’s most scenic lakes.
This summer, former Governor Dirk Kempthorne and USS IDAHO Sponsor Terry Stackley
gathered water from four breathtaking lakes from all corners of Idaho. They visited Payette Lake in
west central Idaho, Red Fish Lake in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area, Henry’s Lake in
eastern Idaho, and Lake Pend Oreille in Idaho’s panhandle.
“The christening water for the USS IDAHO will be waters from Idaho,” former Governor Dirk
Kempthorne explained to KIVI-TV reporter Steve Dent. For more see: https://www.kivitv.com/

Kempthorne is the chairman of the USS IDAHO Commissioning Committee Advisory Board.
The USS IDAHO is tentatively scheduled to be christened in the fall of 2023.
