Support the SSN 797
Consider joining us
The opportunity to celebrate the beginning of a Naval warship from keel laying through Christening and ultimately the Commissioning of the ship into active status, is of course, a rare opportunity.
The goal of the IOWA Sub Club is to provide ongoing support for the crew and their families throughout the lifecycle of the ship. Here are some examples of ongoing activities:
- Host crew members to attend the State Fair, Irishfest (Waterloo), BIX (Quad Cities), RAGBRAI and other statewide events.
- Provide quality of life enhancements on the boat (improved bed sheets, rack curtains, gaming items) Sadly, the ‘government’ issued items just don’t cut it here!
- Act as an emergency backstop for family while the boat is deployed. This may be in the form of covering a minor home or auto repair, etc.
- Annual Milestones & Holidays events held to boost morale and create ongoing camaraderie.
We invite both the citizens of Iowa and all other states to join us on this journey through active participation of awareness and or monetary support.
