Welcome to the San
Francisco Council web-site!
The men and women
who serve in America’s sea services need the support of their fellow
citizens more than ever. Our sailors need the backing of a strong voice to
advocate for the resources they need to serve their country. The Navy League
is that voice on issues of maritime strength and security, and our local
council is actively engaged.
The Council is
supporting service members in our community by providing “Sailor of the
Quarter and Sailor of the Year” awards to two local commands; namely the
Submarine USS SAN FRANCISCO (SSN-711), and US Coast Guard Station Golden
Gate. We also support the NROTC unit located at UC Berkley each year with by
presenting a sword for the Brigade Commander and an award for the top
Merchant Marine Academy graduate of California Maritime Academy, located in
Vallejo, California.
We support
instilling the values of patriotism, responsibility, disciple, and
leadership in America’s youth through the Local Division of the Naval Sea
Cadet Corps. We are actively and politically supporting the continuation of
the high school ROTC units in San Francisco.
Outside of San
Francisco, the perception is that San Francisco is unfriendly to all
military. But, San Francisco has always been known as a ”Navy” town!
In-spite of some local government publicized “unique” policies, our annual
Fleet Week event in October, is attended by hundreds of thousands of people
each and every year.
Our San Francisco
Navy League is working to set the record straight. Just this year the
Commanding Officer and Command Master Chief (Chief of the Boat) of USS SAN
FRANCICSO, met with Mayor Newsom who conveyed his support to the Navy. This
was a great first step for support of sailors in San Francisco. Join us in
this endeavor to once again have San Francisco considered by all to be a
“Navy” town.
A major effort of
this Council has always been the education of the public as to the
requirements for a strong national defense. The Sea Services must remain
properly equipped, and need to recruit the best and the brightest of our
young people. Each year, we conduct five general membership lunches at
Scoma’s located at Fisherman’s wharf, San Francisco. We invite a guest
speaker who has a unique and insightful view on a defense related topic.
If you believe
that these goals are worth pursuing, we want you to join our group. The Navy
League is a civilian organization, and you need not have served in the
military to be a member. We enthusiastically invite you to go to the sign on
page, complete the membership application, or just come to our next lunch,
and help to continue the legacy of support to our sea services that has
continued for over 103 years.
