The USSVI Submariner's Creed

To perpetuate the memory of our shipmates who gave their lives in the pursuit of their duties while serving their country. That their dedication, deeds, and supreme sacrifice be a constant source of motivation toward greater accomplishments. Pledge loyalty and patriotism to the United States of America and its Constitution.

"To Honor Those Who Serve, Past, Present, and Future". Lest We Forget

Creed in three parts

05/03/2016

The purpose/creed of USSVI is to perpetuate the memory of our shipmates who gave their lives in the pursuit of their duties while serving their country that their dedication, deeds, and supreme sacrifice may be a constant source of motivation toward greater accomplishments, and to pledge loyalty and patriotism to the United States of America and its Constitution.

In addition to perpetuating the memory of departed shipmates, USSVI shall provide a way for all submariners to gather for their mutual benefit and enjoyment. Our common heritage as Submariners shall be strengthened by camaraderie. The USSVI supports a strong U.S. Submarine Force.

The organization will engage in various projects and deeds that will bring about the perpetual remembrance of those shipmates who have given the supreme sacrifice. The organization will also endeavor to educate all third parties it comes in contact with about the services our submarine brothers performed and how their sacrifices made possible the freedom and lifestyle we enjoy today."

Welcome to the Smoky Mountain Base

Welcome to Our Website. What is a base? It is the people who make it up. From the leadership to the members, we are all "Brothers of the Phin" who band together, not only to just be part of a group, but to be part of a family. If you qualified on Submarines, you know the special bond you share, and here, continue to share. So, if you are in our area and want to see what we are all about, come to one of our meetings, kick the tires and get in behind the wheel for a non-committal run. Bring your wife along.

Need something to do? Come on out to one of our meetings. There is nothing better than sharing experiences with those that have been there.
Get involved! Help us help others. Something as simple as a visit with kids that are in the hospital can make a huge difference.
Moving forward. We are always looking for ways to make a difference. Contact us with your ideas anytime with the contact form
We love our subs. Please see our news section for the latest submarine news we could find
