The Navy League of the United States, Minnesota Council hosted the 247th Navy/Marine Corps Birthday Ball on October 15, 2022 at the Mystic Lake Casino and Conference Center in Prior Lake, MN. This year’s theme was “On Watch 24/7 for 247 Years”
The Minnesota Navy League is pleased to announce that USS Minneapolis Saint Paul conducted a change command on Monday, September 19, 2022.
Cmdr. Hiram Andreu assumed command of USS Minneapolis Saint Paul (LCS 21) from Cmdr. Alfonza White. Cmdr. White took command of LCS 21 during its workup phase, visited Minnesota at the State Capitol and the Duluth Airshow in June 2021, and took USS Minneapolis Saint Paul through its workup phase and delivery to the Navy.
The USS Minneapolis-Saint Paul is home. The decommissioned nuclear-powered fast attack submarine’s towering sail and rudder have been transported to the Minnesota Military & Veterans Museum in Little Falls from the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, Washington.
The disassembled pieces arrived at Camp Ripley, Minnesota on Monday, Aug. 29, and the artifact will be a distinctive feature at the new 32-acre Minnesota Military & Veterans Museum & Library, expected to open in Spring 2025. The “sail” of a submarine is the tower-like portion that protrudes from the hull at the center of the boat, and the rudder is at the rear of the vessel.
The Minnesota Navy League Council is thrilled to announce the first official public event for the USS Minneapolis Saint Paul (LCS 21) commissioning week with a special tapping of “Wayfinder Freedom North Star Pale Ale” on Wednesday, May 18th at 5pm at the Bent Paddle Brewing Co. 1832 W Michigan St, Duluth, MN 55806.
