This Website is dedicated to all former crew members, families, and friends of the FBM submarine USS Von Steuben, SSBN 632. It is a 100% not-for-profit endeavor undertaken by former crew members of the boat. We don't necessarily endorse any of the ads that appear at the top of the pages, nor do we have any control over them. That's the price that we have to pay for "free" space on the Internet.

The materials on these pages were contributed by your shipmates. It would be impossible to list them all, but some who have contributed "above and beyond" are: Leroy Vick, Bob Marble, Joe McCoy, Jack Weatherwax, and Fred Durette. We encourage other contributions, so don't be shy!

HOW CAN I HELP?? Glad that you asked that!

• First, check the master crew list to see if your own information is listed completely and correctly. If it isn't, send the correct info to: [email protected]
• Next, check the list for shipmates and submit the names of people whom you clearly remember as being onboard. Only submit those for whom you are fairly sure of correct information (spelling of name, rate, years onboard, etc.).
• Finally, try to help locate at least one other former shipmate. We'd like to not only identify all of the former crew, but to also have basic contact info (e-mail, city & state) for as many of them as possible.

As with any endeavor of this sort, especially one in which hundreds of people are potentially involved, there are always lots of differing opinions about how things should be done. Your suggestions are welcome, but please don't take offense if they aren't implemented quickly, or are not implemented at all. This stuff is being done in "spare time" and not many of us have too much of that. This will probably be an ongoing construction project--it wouldn't be worth coming back to if it were not!

Our basic approach is to keep things simple and informative. The emphasis is on content, rather than format, so you aren't likely to find twirling images, dancing babies, and background music on this site. If you need that stuff, find a baby who can dance, juggle, and sing while you browse these pages! :-)
