USS South Carolina Association
About the USS South Carolina Association
On July 26, 2023, the USS South Carolina Association was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Virginia as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
MISSION STATEMENT
We, the former crew members of the nuclear cruiser USS South Carolina (CGN-37), with the aims of promoting and enhancing the memory and preserving the heritage of our ship and promoting fellowship among its veterans, do hereby establish, enact, publish and adopt these bylaws for and on behalf of this unincorporated association. The Association shall be a fraternal organization, not affiliated with the U.S. Department of the Navy, which has as its sole purpose and intent the scheduling and conducting, at intervals to be determined by its membership, reunions and meetings of shipmates, and the establishment of communication within its membership.
Become a member
Membership is voluntary in the form of a minimal donation to the USS South Carolina Association, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization formed to operate ship's reunions without having to pay third-party companies to assist us, as we did from 2017 to 2021. Funds raised by the association will be used to offset future reunion costs so that any crew member who takes part can benefit. In accordance with association bylaws, funds may only be used to support association and veteran-related charitable activities. Members who are active at the time of registration for future reunions will receive a discount on registration fees.
We are thankful for your support. You are welcome to come to future reunions whether you are a member or not.
