A tale of history awaits to be told from the
hands who enter here. Inside the hatches, Fore to Aft, Port to Starboard, all
decks, compartments, and work spaces, from every planned operation to any near
mishaps aboard, these memories exist in our personal experiences. There are
successive generations wondering, "What's it like to be serving aboard a
submarine?" - Sharing among the crew here will revive several memories and bring
lore to life. So, hoist her anchor and keep ole Dolly rockin'!
The USS James Madison Reunion Association has bee responsible for four crew reunions so far with a fifth in the planning stages. Our most recent reunion was held in Bremerton WA in 2009 and included a tour of a TRIDENT Submarine as well as renewing of contacts with shipmates.
If you served before on this boat, your shipmates here are on
a quest to contact you! Hail to the DOLPHINS, Silent Servicemen, the proud men
of the USS James Madison SSBN627 who wear them!
W E T S U!
It took 48+ years for the Jolly Dolly and us to reach this point.
Please have patience as we build this site.
