| USSVI Creed “To perpetuate the memory of our shipmates who gave their lives in the pursuit of their duties while serving their country. That their dedication, deeds and supreme sacrifice be a constant source of motivation toward greater accomplishments. Pledge loyalty and patriotism to the United States of America and its Constitution .” |
That's our CREED above, but it's not who we are.
We are United States Submarine Sailors! We were, and are, members of the elite fighting force of
the United States Navy. We are all QUALIFIED IN SUBMARINES.
Included are submariners from the very early boats: S, R or earlier: WWII boats; post-war GUPPY
boats and FBM and Fast Attack submariners. All Qualified in Submarines - from E2 to 4 Stars.
Retired, short timer, or active duty - it makes no difference.
If you are Qualified in Submarines we want you in United States Submarine Veterans Inc.
We have 100+ local Bases (chapters) from Pearl Harbor to Portsmouth, NH and two Internet
bases. Our members are from every state in the Union.
In addition to the regional and district meetings throughout the year we also hold a National
Convention in a different city every year.
If you want to learn submarine history from the people who wrote it, tell or hear sea stories from
Pre-WWII, WWII, Korea, VN, Cold War or right now, USSVI is the place to do it.
If you want to find shipmates, plan or attend a boat reunion, eat, drink, or just share a common
bond that never goes away, USSVI is the place.
If you are active duty and wonder how things used to be, or how a problem used to be solved, a
USSVI meeting is where you can ask. Want to ask a question only COMSUBPAC/COMSUBLANT
can answer? There are many members of both staffs that are members.

WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN USSVI
Because this is where you find all the Submariners.
This is where everyone understands what you do or did, and you understand them. This is
common ground. Only Submarine Sailors need apply for regular membership. However, we also
include provisions for Ladies Auxiliary and Associate memberships.
Some things USSVI does:
We also have a national print magazine, The AMERICAN SUBMARINER. It has news, sea
stories, and articles of Submariner interest. Most USSVI Base's have a Newsletter (some in print,
some on-line or both) with local Submariner information, sea stories, and meeting information.
For more information on USSVI or the USS Florida Base please take some time to browse
