Good Morning, friends and family of GERMANTOWN!
Thank you for your responses to our post about the Memory Book. Because we have received such a positive reception, we will now be going forward with its creation! Of course, a Memory Book wouldn’t be possible without the recollections of GERMANTOWN’s Sailors throughout the years. If you have any pictures that you would like to submit, please email [email protected] with the year and backstory; and if you already have sent your pictures, let us know if you’d be interested in seeing them on our pages.

If your pictures do not make it in the Memory Book, we intend to display them during the Decommissioning Ceremony.
The cutoff date of submissions will be 01JUN2026, so don’t delay!
