Providence Gains a Partner!

Sloop Providence Salutes the USS Providence



On Tuesday, December 10th, Providence Temporary Mayor John J. Lombardi announced a namesake partnership to establish a bond between the City of Providence and the Los Angeles class nuclear submarine USS Providence - SSN719.

The namesake partnership will support the morale of the ship's crew and their families as they return to sea, which will add a new dimension to the cultural life of our city, and introduce the students and citizens of Providence to the (non-classified) particulars required in being a sailor on a nuclear sub.


Check the website-- by the end of December, they should have an email address that will allow anyone to write to sailors aboard the ship.
