This site and the USS James Monroe Association is dedicated to the brave men who, during the Cold War, served their nation in the Silent Service. The Silent Service refers to the servicemen who served beneath the seas in an intense and successful effort to deter the use of nuclear weapons in times of crises past. These brave men often spent months "at sea" while performing their duties with two rotating crews of 14 officers and 126 enlisted men.
There was much more activity in this service area than the general public understands. Please feel welcome to visit our site. Our links page provides valuable references to this time in history - the Cold War. Our Sailing List includes the names of over 600 service men.
The USS James Monroe Association gathers for reunions, publishes a Newsletter and provides a way for members to stay in touch with each other.
