 Foul Anchor: CPO History Program Chief petty officers and new selectees can get a unique view of senior enlisted leadership history through a dynamic presentation by The United States Navy Memorial. "Foul Anchor: A History of the Navy Chief Petty Officer," traces the history of senior enlisted leadership from the days of sail to the present. Using vintage uniforms, insignia, and photographs, presentations are made to more than 400 chief petty officer selectees annually.

Master Chief Hacala, who holds a Bachelor's Degree in History from The University of Michigan, has written extensively and has spoken to thousands on naval history topics.
