SSBN 620 Plan of the Day

USS JOHN ADAMS (SSBN 620) Site Launched

Brad Williamson

The USS JOHN ADAMS (SSBN 620) website at coldwarboats.org has been launched, and already has a handful of photos, a Commissioning Brochure from 1964, a brochure from the inactivation in 1988, and Deck Logs from 1964 and 1965. 

The site is ready for fitting out - all it needs is your submissions of photos, stories, and artifacts. It can be found here: https://coldwarboats.org/the-boat-620/uss-john-adams-ssbn-620/quarterdeck-620

John Adams was a Lafayette-class submarine, and boasted an impressive service career during the Cold War.

If you have photos, stories, or artifacts related to the 620, reach out to me until we get a Site Lead volunteered! I'll make sure it gets on the 620 site. If you're planning a John Adams reunion, again, let me know. The new 620 website has a reunion function already built in that will let you organize, promote, and keep track of attendees and events.

All John Adams shipmates are invited to make the USS JOHN ADAMS (SSN 665) site on Cold War Boats their new on-line home.

Welcome Aboard!
