WHAT WE ARE DOING HERE
A letter from the Chairman:

This project started on December 22, 2000 as a conversation about the diminishing information available to the interested family of veterans who served on the boats in these eras. Not only has many Veterans chosen to forget about their time in the boats, but, also about the equipment they worked with. Now the internet has opened the door to information for Veterans, family members and patrol craft enthusiasts and a resurgence of interest in these great boats has taken place. 

As we veterans get older it now, more than ever, seems necessary that someone keep this little piece of history alive, and it is from discussions just like this that the concept of a Combatant Craft living museum was created. So here we are a small core group willing to combine our interests and talents to make it happen.

Mission

It is our purpose to preserve, maintain and bring up to operational standards these machines so that their true significance can be experienced through sound, smell and wind in the face.

Our Motto: "Never too late" 

The boats are out there and the interest exists. The internet opens up a communications portal to share the news, raise the money and communicate the successes and failures as we proceed forward.

I remember an old saying from the past, "Don't get pissed, re-enlist." Now is the time to re-enlist in the Combatant Craft of America Navy. Here we are doing it for fun and maybe a little duty to preserve these boats for everyone to enjoy. We will be stronger with a larger membership and younger average age.

Join the fun because, its definitely not a Job, its an Adventure. Best regards, Dan Withers ETN3 1963-66 Port Ludlow, Wa
