National Commandant Ronald Wilson hosted the National Executive Staff Meeting in April at Gurnee Illinois where they also provided an award to Sailors at Great Lakes Naval Station.

Along with the National meeting, there was also a Commissioning of the USS CHICAGO SHIP #69 that place on Saturday, April 22, 2023. The Navy Club of Chicago is the first ship in over 23 years that has been commissioned.

The commission process was extremely quick and easy thanks for the support from National. We encourage new ships to open up and continue to grow the Navy Club.
