This site is dedicated to the continued memories of the men who sacrificed their most promising and productive years to serve their country and their shipmates onboard Nathanael Greene during its twenty two years of outstanding Naval Service.   The never ending saga of submarine service is, and has always been; one in which the best and brightest that America had to offer, volunteered to set aside their hopes and dreams, so that they might be challenged and molded by a commitment that offered few tangible medals or rewards, presented ever present danger, and forced upon them extended periods of social isolation.  Those who have never lived and worked with just such a crew, would be hard pressed to understand the life long bond of brotherhood that exists therein.  

The submariners conditions of silence that exist in today's age of instant communications, are no different than they were nearly a century ago when the first "boats" were pressed into service.  All too often the first sign of trouble occurs when a boat and her crew are overdue on their return to port. The "Silent Service Fleet" of today still maintains conditions of total communication silence, receiving only, and seldom if ever sending a reply.
