Understanding Sonar – Countries around the world, including nations that are potentially hostile to the United States and its allies, are obtaining quiet, modern submarines. These small vessels pose a real threat to national security if we are unable to detect them. Modern submarines operating with batteries and air propulsion technology are very quiet and particularly hard to detect in the acoustically complex near shore/shallow water environment. Therefore, sonar technicians require extensive real-life training on active and passive sonar systems to detect these vessels. Read the full article from the U.S. Navy's Ocean Stewardship program »

USDN Study [PDF] – Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower – Never before have the maritime forces of the United States—the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard—come together to create a unified maritime strategy. This strategy stresses an approach that integrates seapower with other elements of national power, as well as those of our friends and allies. [click here for full report]

Our History

It seems to me that all good Americans, interested in the growth of their country and sensitive to its honor, should give hearty support to the policies which the Navy League is founded to further. For the building and maintaining in proper shape of the American Navy, we must rely upon nothing but the broad and farsighted patriotism of our people as a whole, and it is of great importance that there should be some means by which this patriotism can find an effective utterance. Your society offers just the means needed.
– T. Roosevelt.

Navy League Of The United States Bremerton-Olympic Peninsula Council – The Navy League of the United States was founded in 1902 as a civilian maritime organization, and grew rapidly with the strong encouragement and support of President Theodore Roosevelt.

The Navy League has long been dedicated to educating the American people, the media, and the executive and legislative branches of government about the need for the United States, a maritime nation, to maintain a strong maritime force. This includes the Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and U.S.-flag Merchant Marine, together with a robust defense industrial base and capable ready reserve forces for each of the armed services.

We believe that America's goals of global stability, freedom of the seas, and the maintenance of a lasting world peace mandate continued strong defense capabilities to preserve U.S. naval/maritime superiority. We must increase interest in and gain support for initiatives that enhance U.S. naval and maritime capabilities.
