USS Paul F. Foster Association
About Us
Our Mission and Goals
Our mission is to establish a community where former shipmates of the ex USS Paul F. Foster can maintain connections and stay linked to the ship’s legacy. In the near future, we aim to build a diverse and robust membership base to ensure the Association’s longevity for generations to come.
We are committed to supporting the United States Navy until the final determination of the ex USS Paul F. Foster’s fate has been decided, and to join the Navy in honoring and celebrating her retirement—whenever that day may come.
As a former shipmate, former member of an embarked air detachment, or current crew member of the USS Paul F. Foster / Self-Defense Test Ship, you are eligible for membership in this newly formed Association. Widows and widowers of former crew members shall be offered Honorary Membership in the Association.
The USS Paul F. Foster Association is a nonprofit 501(c)(19) organization that may accept an annual donation for membership. Memberships and Donations will go toward keeping the cost of future reunions at a minimum, supplying the Ship’s Store with ship’s memorabilia, and covering the costs of operating the Association.
