Navy League of the United States

"Citizens in Support of the Sea Services"
Welcome Aboard!

Since its founding in 1902, and with the support of President Theodore
Roosevelt, the Navy League of the United States has provided a powerful
voice for a stronger sea service to Congress and to the American People.
The Navy League has grown to become the foremost citizens' organization to
serve, support, and stand with all the U.S. sea services -- the Navy, Marine
Corps, Coast Guard and U.S.-flag Merchant Marine.




NLUS Mission

The Navy League has set forth the following objectives:

  • To foster and maintain interest in a strong Navy, Marine Corps, Coast
    Guard and Merchant Marine as integral parts of a sound national
    defense and vital to the freedom of the United States.

  • To serve as a means of educating and informing the American people
    with regard to the role of sea power in the nuclear age and the
    problems involved in maintaining strong defenses in that age.

  • To improve the understanding and appreciation of those who wear the
    uniforms of our armed forces and to better the conditions under which
    they live and serve.

  • To provide support and recognition for the Reserve forces in our
    communities in order that we may continue to have a capable and
    responsive Reserve.

  • To educate and train our youth in the customs and traditions of the
    Navy, the Marine Corps, the Coast Guard and the Merchant Marine
    through the means of an active and vigorous Naval Sea Cadet Corps.
