This hand, to tyrants ever sworn the foe, For freedom only deals the deadly blow;
Then sheathes in calm repose the vengeful blade, For gentle peace in freedom's hallowed shade.
~ President John Quincy Adams

Many thanks to the shipmates of the USS HADDO (SSN 604) and especially Ralph Stroede, former champion of the Haddo website, for their generous donation to the USS HADDO (SSN 604) website and the Cold War Boats Association.

Their significant financial contribution recognizes the responsibility the Cold War Boats Association has taken on in maintaining the USS HADDO (SSN 604) website, preserving your memories, your stories, and your photos for not only each of us who served on Cold War boats, but for our children and their children.

Investing their support, they make possible our mission: reconnecting shipmates, preserving Cold War boat history, and honoring the sailors and families who sacrificed so much to bring the Cold War to an end.

The USS HADDO (SSN 604) leads the Fleet in making this possible. I personally thank each and every one of you!

~ Brad Willamson, Director, 14 MAR 2025

Share the good stuff, shipmate!
