USS Paul F. Foster Association

For those who served aboard USS Paul F. Foster (DD-964), the ship was more than just steel and machinery—it was home. It was where friendships were forged, challenges were faced together, and memories were made that last a lifetime.

The USS Paul F. Foster Association was created to keep those connections alive and to ensure that the history and legacy of our ship are never forgotten.

Reconnect with Shipmates

One of the greatest benefits of joining the Association is reconnecting with the men you served with. Many shipmates lose contact after leaving the Navy, but the Association provides a place where former crew members can find each other again.

Through our website, reunions, and ongoing communications, shipmates have the opportunity to renew friendships, share stories, and remember the experiences that made serving aboard Foster so unique.

Attend Reunions and Special Events

Our reunions give shipmates the opportunity to gather in person, often for the first time in many years. These events provide a chance to share sea stories, remember old times, and introduce family members to the people who were part of such an important chapter in our lives.

Whether you served in the early years of the ship’s commissioning or later in her career, reunions bring together generations of Foster sailors who share the same bond.

Preserve the Legacy of USS Paul F. Foster

The Association plays an important role in preserving the history of USS Paul F. Foster. By collecting photographs, documents, and personal stories, we help ensure that the experiences of those who served aboard the ship are remembered and shared.

Future sailors, historians, and family members can learn about the ship and the men who served on her because of the efforts of our members.

Stay Informed About the Ship’s Future

USS Paul F. Foster continues to serve the Navy today as a test ship. The Association helps keep shipmates informed about the ship’s status and future while maintaining strong support for the Navy as decisions are made about her eventual retirement.

Be Part of the Community

Perhaps the most important reason to join is simple: camaraderie. The Association provides a place where shipmates can stay connected, support each other, and continue to share the pride of having served aboard USS Paul F. Foster.

Membership dues help support the operations of the Association, maintain our website, and make reunions and other activities possible.
