Our May tour of the Trident Training Facility and Submarine had to be rescheduled to June 5. Few civilians get to explore one of our Fleet Ballistic Missile Submarines. But you must be a Navy League member to tour. It’s easy to join. We are also going to have our tour of the USS Gridley at NS Everett on June 19. Details are online. Our May Armed Forces Week activities were a huge success! The Senior Enlisted Barbeque was a well attended with over 140 guests. The Gala on Armed Forces Day was another outstanding event. We were fortunate to have Adm Frank Caldwell, Director of Naval Nuclear Propulsion, as our guest speaker. Also joining us was the Honorable Derek Kilmer, US Congressman from our 6th district. Much thanks to Larry Salter for coordinating both events. Our upcoming June 11 luncheon will feature Capt Mike Lewis, Commander, Submarine Squadron 19 as the speaker.. The Navy League Ofcers and Board of Directors gathered recently for an impromptu visit to see Dr. Byron Faber and award him the Navy League Scroll of Honor for all that he has done to support our Navy League council. The Scroll of Honor is Navy League's highest civilian award. Byron has done an outstanding job in coordinating our tours and supporting and entertaining our sea service members. His hard work has been greatly appreciated.

Eloquent as always, the Mayor spoke about the City's eforts to clean up derelict buildings, a difcult task and one at which they are having much success. As one would expect, Mayor Wheeler talked about the great history of the Navy/Bremerton team. He is enthusiastic about sailors settling in our city and region. He praised his City employee team for making great things happen is Bremerton. Parking is always an issue worth discussing. The city is implementing a system that allows people to check parking availability prior to coming to the city and thus be able to go directly to a lot with spaces available. 72nd Armed Forces week Armed Forces Week in our area is quite an event.

  • Marine Nuclear Power: 1939 – 2018 Part 2A: United States - Submarines
    Marine Nuclear Power: 1939 – 2018 Part 2A: United States - Submarines Peter Lobner July 2018 1 Foreword In 2015, I compiled the first edition of this resource document to support a presentation I made in August 2015 to The Lyncean Group of San Diego (www.lynceans.org) commemorating the 60th anniversary of the world’s first “underway on nuclear power” by USS Nautilus on 17 January 1955. That presentation to the Lyncean Group, “60 years of Marine Nuclear Power: 1955 – 2015,” was my attempt to tell a complex story, starting from the early origins of the US Navy’s interest in marine nuclear propulsion in 1939, resetting the clock on 17 January 1955 with USS Nautilus’ historic first voyage, and then tracing the development and exploitation of marine nuclear power over the next 60 years in a remarkable variety of military and civilian vessels created by eight nations. In July 2018, I finished a complete update of the resource document and changed the title to, “Marine Nuclear Power: 1939 – 2018.” What you have here is Part 2A: United States - Submarines. The other parts are: Part 1: Introduction Part 2B: United States - Surface Ships Part 3A: Russia - Submarines Part 3B: Russia - Surface Ships & Non-propulsion Marine Nuclear Applications Part 4: Europe & Canada Part 5: China, India, Japan and Other Nations Part 6: Arctic Operations 2 Foreword This resource document was compiled from unclassified, open sources in the public domain. I acknowledge the great amount of work done by others who have published material in print or posted information on the internet pertaining to international marine nuclear propulsion programs, naval and civilian nuclear powered vessels, naval weapons systems, and other marine nuclear applications.
