Watch the USS NEW MEXICO Commissioning!
The USS NEW MEXICO was commissioned on 27 March 2010 at the Norfolk Naval Base and is now officially a member of the fleet of the United States Navy. The hugely successful commissioning events were a result of the tremendous financial and in-kind support provided by the citizens of New Mexico and many other states.
As the host state, New Mexico has a continuing obligation to support the crew of USS NEW MEXICO. The SSN 779 Committee, a part of the Navy League’s New Mexico Council, has taken on a continuing effort to raise funds and organize in-kind support for the SSN 779 crew.
Some projects the SSN 779 Committee is organizing support for in 2010 are:
- A Crew Party in August
- Decoration of the Crew’s Mess
- Replacement of Passageway Curtains with New Mexico style fabrics
- Crew visit to New Mexico
The SSN 779 Committee welcomes your input through the Contact Menu. A Committee member will contact you to discuss and coordinate your input.
