The Silent Service
 Most Memorable Quotes

"We shall never forget it was our submarines that held the lines against the enemy
while our fleets replaced losses and repaired wounds".

Admiral C. W Nimitz USN
 

"No one has done more to prevent conflict - no one has made a greater sacrifice for the cause for  Peace - than you,
America's proud missile submarine family. You stand tall among our heroes of  the Cold War."

                         General Colin Powell
 

"Put simply, over the last century, America's submariners have risked, served, fought and on occasion died
so that Americans might have a safer and freer life.  In the process,
they have given full measure to the Navy, the nation, and the free world.
I can think of no higher price."

Admiral William J. Crowe, Jr. USN Ret.

"Any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life
worthwhile ... can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction,

FROM THE SHIP'S STOREKEEPER
 

As you should be aware, our base profits from everything we sell or everything you buy from the base store.
We have added many items to our inventory, some of which are: Small Gold & Silver dolphins Lapel pins,
Small window decals, Sub Vet license plates especially for the RVers,
Gold & Silver stars for patrol, pins bumper stickers, DBF pins for you die hards.
I can also try to get items you request, if they are not on my inventory list. So come to the meetings and see
some of my samples and  spend some of that hard earned money of yours the base can use your support.
