Fleet Plan of the Day

#1 – Top Reasons to Join coldwarboats.org

POD - Fleet
Crewmembers stand in front of the USS ASHEVILLE (SSN 758) in a floating drydock.
The USS ASHEVILLE (SSN 758) and crew, the last boat to be commissioned during the Cold War.

Reason One – Contact a Shipmate - This is one of the three primary missions at Cold War Boats - CONNECT. We have established a central point for locating shipmates and being located that protects your privacy, and that of those you reach out to. 

It means that both of you have to be registered, so it follows that “Get Registered and Spread the Word” is our ‘connecting’ mantra. We have almost 12,000 names, which sounds like a lot until you realize there may have been more than 500,000 shipmates that served on Cold War Boats between 1946 and 1991. 

You can contact other registered shipmates with the click of a mouse. Log in to coldwarboats.org, locate your shipmate on the Master Personnel Roster or any boat’s Master Sailing List, choose Send PM (Private Message) if you want to keep your email address private, or choose Email to, well, send an email, with your email address. Their contact info remains private until they choose to share it with you.

Looking at the calendar this morning, I discovered that I qualify as antique, being older than 50 and just a smidgen this side of 70. You don’t need me to remind you that days are short for all of us. Join us at Cold War Boats, reach out and connect, and never have to say “I regret not reconnecting sooner…”

There is not a moment to lose.
