About our convention theme logo:
The theme “Every Model Tells A Story” is illustrated in our logo, for everything in that logo has its own story. The blue background, the Palmetto tree and crescent represent the flag of South Carolina. The five ships, aircraft, and spacecraft, all with their own stories, bore the name “Columbia” as they made history. Starting at lower left and going counterclockwise, they are:
- USS Columbia (CL-56): A Cleveland-class light cruiser named for our city, Columbia was commissioned in 1942 and fought in several major campaigns in the Pacific. During four years of service, “The Gem of the Ocean” earned 10 battle stars and the Navy Unit Commendation.
- Wright-Bellanca WB-2 Columbia: Introduced at the 1926 National Air Races, the WB-2 was designed for long-distance endurance flights. It was named Columbia in honor of the Columbia Aircraft Company. It almost became the plane Charles Lindbergh flew on his historic 1927 flight, but did become the first to carry a passenger non-stop across the Atlantic. The WB-2 set several records and achieved several “firsts” before it was destroyed in a 1934 hangar fire.
- USS Columbia (SSN-771): The 60th Los Angeles-class fast attack submarine, Columbia entered service in 1995. Honoring three United States cities (including ours), the ship carries our city’s name in the current fleet.
- Apollo 11 command/service module Columbia (CSM-107): Named to honor Jules Verne’s fictional spaceship Columbiad, CSM-107 took astronauts Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin to the Moon in July 1969. While Armstrong and Aldrin made their historic trip to the surface aboard the Lunar Module Eagle, Collins remained aboard Columbia in lunar orbit. The command module of Columbia, the only section of the historic Apollo 11 spacecraft to return to Earth, is now on display at the National Air and Space Museum.
- Space Shuttle Orbiter Columbia (OV-102): On its first flight in 1981, Columbia became the first of the Space Shuttle fleet to fly in space and introduced the era of the “reusable” spacecraft. In 28 missions over 22 years of service, Columbia conducted test flights and scientific missions, deployed satellites and space probes, serviced the Hubble Space Telescope, spent more than 300 days in space and traveled more than 125 million miles in orbit. Columbia and the seven astronauts of STS-107 were lost when the orbiter disintegrated during re-entry on Feb. 1, 2003. (Above Columbia, seven stars in the approximate shape of the constellation Columba honor the STS-107 crew.)
