USSVI Naples Base

On this Memorial Day weekend we remember the lives we've lost. Forever in our hearts.

Members of USSVI Naples Base are pleased to have attended the Best Buddies Walk in Estero FL again this year. These walks, held nationwide, support inclusion for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Here are a few images from this beautiful day, including the Estero Fire Department representatives, and Florida Everblades mascot, Swampee. Thank you to those members who showed up early and stayed late to help make our float look better than ever.

Did you know there are 3,554 people in Florida with Navy Submariner license plates? We rank 109th out of 185 plates

Cheer for the USSVI Naples base submarine float at the Naples St. Patrick's Day parade today. A huge thank-you to those who made this year's parade happen. Got a photo to share? Post it for us!

Wishing you the luck of the Irish on this day when we're ALL Irish.

Always a good time representing our submarine community with our Gold Star Mom’s at the annual Vet’s Expo.

Today, John Brennen, Mike Lyster and I celebrated 100 years of life for this wonderful human being. Oh, and yes, he was also a submariner. LOL ⚓️🇺🇸

Happy 100th birthday to our favorite WWII shipmate, Bill McGrath! 🎉🎂⚓️🇺🇸
