We also make available to everyone public images and records found scattered in various locations Indexed in one place for easy reference.

U.S Navy Cruiser Sailors Organization
“We are an all-volunteer, tax-exempt organization by, for, and about U.S. Navy cruisers and their crews. Our headquarters is located in Rehoboth, Massachusetts. Formed in 1992 by seven cruiser sailors (see the ‘History’ tab), the organization has grown rapidly into a vibrant, member-oriented association with 3,300 active members. We have members who served in all 168 cruisers, the number of ‘modern’ cruisers built since the 1930’s!”
