The Cold War Boats Association and website depends on our membership to help us grow. You spread the word by sharing on social media, chatting it up with your shipmates, and so forth.

But the very nature of the submarine community works against us. Social media is divided by boats/commands; they are exclusive, and rightfully so. We don’t have much tolerance for posers, wannabes, and preying advertisers. That also makes it hard for us to spread the word.

In the long run, that is a losing end game. There are fewer of us Cold War boat sailors every day - I know, just from our own Eternal Patrol list. The time is near when it will be more important to be part of the Cold War Boats community than it will to be part of a dwindling few members of a specific command.

To make it easier for us to invite other shipmates to join us, we have added an INVITE SHIPMATES tab to your User Profile. In the accompanying photo, you can see the new tab and the simple methods we provide to make it easy for you to invite members of your exclusive boat/command community. 

Log in at coldwarboats.org, and go to your User Profile by clicking on your name under Current Watchsection in the upper right column, then:

  1. Add an email address, or several (separated by commas) and click SEND INVITES. Individual email invitations will be sent to each address, or
  2. Share an Invite Link. Click CREATE INVITE LINK, and a link will be created that you can post in your social media, like your boat’s Facebook group. Group members can click on the link and it will take them directly to register at the website.

In either case, your links and invites are unique to you and will be tracked in your profile, so you can see when those you invite respond. 

Increase your sponsorship level - the tag that appears next to your name in all the sailing lists, by inviting your shipmates to join us a Cold War Boats.

  • Two accepted invitations - Contributor
  • Five accepted invitations - Sponsor
  • Twelve accepted invitations - Patron
  • Twenty-five accepted invitations - Ambassador

Now that we’ve made it easy to invite your shipmates, log in and invite those shipmates that you would like to have be a part of Cold War Boats. There is not a moment to lose!
