  1. Welcome to the Navy League of the United States

  2. What is the Navy League? The Navy League is a group of 50,000+ patriotic citizens who believe that the United States of America must remain a strong maritime power in order to protect our freedoms and our economic way of life.

  3. History of the Navy League In 1902, President Theodore Roosevelt asked business leaders in New York City to organize a group to communicate our message – and the Navy League was born. President Roosevelt even provided funding from his Nobel Peace Prize to support the establishment of the Navy League.

  4. What Does the Navy League Do? The NL Headquarters staff assists the leaders of the Sea Services – Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, US-Flag Merchant Marine – in communicating their needs to the Congress of the United States. Past National President Sheila McNeill talks with Senator John McCain.

  5. What Does the Navy League Do? The Navy League sponsors Sea-Air-Space, one of the largest Maritime Expositions in the world!

  6. Navy League Councils The heart and soul of the NL is the 270+ local councils worldwide that directly support sea service personnel – our sailors, marines, coasties, and merchant mariners.

  7. Our Goals • Educate community leaders and citizens about America’s need for strong sea services. • Support the men and women of the sea services. • Provide assistance to sea service families. • Support our youth programs.

  8. Adopted Ships and Units Navy League councils support the Sea Services by adopting ships and units of the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. Ships = 252 Stations/Units = 282 Youth Groups = 731

  9. What Separates the NL from Other Military-Related Organizations? Our membership requires ONLY that you be a citizen, not necessarily a former member of the military; and Our mission is to support active members of the sea services, not promote services for our members. We are an active-duty service organization, rather than a veteran’s service organization.

  10. Who Should Join? • Any citizen who believes in the importance of a strong maritime nation. • Any citizen who wants an opportunity to connect with the sea services and to serve our young warriors, their families, and our youth. • Those who have served America for many years and are now separating or retiring.

  11. Please JOIN NOW and become part of our patriotic community!
