Howdy, folks, I have just found a great site for Submariners.
"www.ussvi.org"
It has many interesting features, one of which is the ability to access photos of you Sub School graduation class.
Try it out.

Bill, this is Bill (William Towne) I ust added a new command, the USS America CVA-66, How do I add ship photos on the USS America's page? My potos went onto my page. I have reserched this ship and found out where she was suttled, etc. I knew a Sailor onboard her. I want to put about 4 photos on that page and put facts where she lies under the photos. Thanks.

Thanks, Bill! Keep up the good work. A former squadron mate from the '60s gave me a call out of the blue and I signed up ASAP.

Hi Bill...great site! I was recently searching for some old navy buddies when I stumbled upon your site. I served a tour in the navy where I met my husband who retired from the navy in 2003!

Hi Bill - thanks for writing back - I assume you can read what I sent John so I wont repeat the Branson conflict I have. Refueled from the Truckee several (many) times in the Atlantic and Med. So many years have gone by!! I will try to put something together for a blog. I really pay for it now but have never been into photographs etc so may not have alot - will put my History together as well and see if I can load in to site. GTMO really was a special place if they only realized that now. I was in 28 yrs. Active and Active Reserve. Take care and keep in touch please-
Thanks, Steve Wagner STGCS(Ret)

Bill,, The dates of the USS Leyte CV-32 reunion is wrong, Should be 29 Septenber to 3 October, 2010, The FRA today had it printed wrong. Please change it on your site, Thanks "Van"

Thanks Chief. Greatly appreciated. We all need to continue promoting the site, as the power of the network corresponds to the number of nodes on the net. I manage a LinkedIn group with a few hundred members, many of which are prior Navy. It will be my privilege to provide this link with endorsement.
