To encourage research and writing on naval and maritime subjects, preserve documents, portraits and other records of prominent figures deeds and memories of our naval and maritime history, and through the fellowship of our members advance the Naval Order's unselfish service and worthy aims for the security and enduring well-being of our country. To foster an informed interest in the Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, Coast Guard and Merchant Marine, NOAA and the Public Health Service with the understanding that their efficiency is essential to national security and that their readiness to make victory in war certain and speedy will deter aggression and minimize dangers to world peace.
Are you passionate about what we're doing? Let us know! Yes, we study the history of our maritime services and we visit historical sites but what makes us different is that we actively take steps to bring this knowledge to a wider audience by placing markers or promoting essay competitions. We are always looking for volunteers to help us make our vision a reality. We'll help you find a way to volunteer that best suits you. We're excited to have you join the team!
