SUPPORT USS Delaware (SSN 791)

Navy League of the United States, Hampton Roads takes great pride in supporting the Navy in bringing USS Delaware (SSN 791) into the Fleet in Winter of 2019. The time honored tradition of Commissioning a boat includes several special events that surround the actual ceremony itself. Our nonprofit 501 (c)(3) organization incorporated in the Commonwealth of Virginia allows the citizenry at large to contribute to the efforts that are not funded by the Department of Defense. These contributions are tax deductible in accordance with State and Federal laws. The commissioning of this vessel will be our 26th that Navy League has participated in Hampton Roads.

Our Nation’s latest Virginia class fast-attack submarine SSN 791

The Virginia-class is 7,800-tons and 377 feet in length, has a beam of 34 feet, and can operate at more than 25 knots submerged. It is designed with a reactor plant that will not require refueling during the planned life of the boat – reducing lifecycle costs while increasing underway time.
