We Remember Submariners Competitors

The United States is a maritime nation, and the U.S. Navy protects America at sea. Alongside our allies and partners, we defend freedom, preserve economic prosperity, and keep the seas open and free. Our nation is engaged in long-term competition. To defend American interests around the globe, the U.S. Navy must remain prepared to execute our timeless role, as directed by Congress and the President.

The National WWII Museum tells the story of the American experience in the war that changed the world—why it was fought, how it was won, and what it means today—so that all generations will understand the price of freedom and be inspired by what they learn. Offering a compelling blend of sweeping narrative and poignant personal detail, The National WWII Museum features immersive exhibits, multimedia experiences, and an expansive collection of artifacts and first-person oral histories, taking visitors inside the story of the war that changed the world. Beyond the galleries, the Museum's online collections, virtual field trips, webinars, educational travel programs, and renowned International Conference on World War II offer patrons new ways to connect to history and honor the generation that sacrificed so much to secure our freedom.

At Beneath The Waves, we work towards protecting our ocean and its inhabitants. What started out as predominantly a shark research not-for-profit in 2013, has evolved into something bigger. Today, we bring people from all corners of the world together to create protected marine areas and advance the conservation of threatened marine species--and in turn, ensure the survival of our own species in the years to come. We're generating ideas based on our research that are innovative, forward-thinking, fresh, and impactful.
