Peace Through Strength: National Security and the Role of The U.S. Submarine Force in the 21st Century

We welcome you to enjoy this unique opportunity to gain insights from some of our nation’s most distinguished military leaders while contributing to the future of the U.S. Navy Submarine Force.

In this first of a multi-part series of panel discussions, distinguished speakers General Joseph Dunford (USMC, Ret.), the 19th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Vice Admiral Michael Connor (USN, Ret.), the former Commander of U.S. Submarine Forces and NATO’s Allied Submarine Command will explore how the U.S. Submarine Force contributes to the issues in today’s geopolitical global environment. In the Silent Service of today, ships like our own USS Massachusetts present a formidable component of our National Security Strategy.

All funds raised from this event will contribute to the events supporting the commissioning of the USS MASSACHUSETTS (SSN 798) – the Navy's latest and most advanced nuclear submarine – in Boston Harbor in 2025.
