The Greater Cincinnati Navy League, a silver member of the Cincinnati Chamber, has three primary tasks:

  1. To advocate for the nation’s sea services: the Navy, the Marines, the Coast Guard, and the Merchant Marine.
  2. To support local youth programs for Sea Cadets and JROTC to encourage young people to serve our country.
  3. To inform their 250+ members about matters related to our sea services through luncheons, dinner meetings, quarterly newsletters, and their website.

This year, the Cincinnati Navy League began constructing an important local landmark that is likely to become a civic icon. The “USS Cincinnati Memorial Peace Pavilion” will be a full-sized representation of the submarine, over 360 feet long, and will use artifacts from the Nuclear Submarine USS Cincinnati, SSN 693, to commemorate the importance of this ship and its crew during the Cold War. It will engage visitors with the science, technology, engineering, and math embodied in a submarine and the skilled trades required to build Navy ships.

The memorial is adjacent to the Voice of America Park and Athletic Complex in West Chester, in Butler County. The park includes a sports complex that attracts over 500,000 young athletes and their families each year. The memorial will feature many interactive displays designed by local schools for visitors, especially students, to explore features of a submarine’s systems. We invite the public to follow our project as it progresses towards its completion in the spring of 2026. See their video highlighting the vision and mission of the project here.
