WELCOME TO NAVY LEAGUE HONOLULU COUNCIL
The Navy League of the United States is a civilian organization dedicated to informing the American people and their government that the United States of America is a maritime nation and that its national defense and economic well being are dependent upon strong sea services – United States Navy, United States Marine Corps, United States Coast Guard and United States Merchant Marine.
An F-35C Lightning II, assigned to the “Argonauts” of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 147, flies over the Bay of Bengal as part of Maritime Partnership Exercise (MPX) 2021, Oct. 17, 2021. MPX 2021 is a multilateral maritime exercise between the Royal Australian Navy, Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, U.K. Royal Navy, and U.S. maritime forces, focused on naval cooperation, interoperability and regional security and stability in the Indo-Pacific and is an example of the enduring partnership between Australian, Japanese, U.K. and U.S. maritime forces, who routinely operate together in the Indo-Pacific, fostering a cooperative approach toward regional security and stability.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Aloha!
Our nation’s Sea Services have historic and enduring ties to Hawaii and the Pacific. For many years, the Honolulu Navy League has served to connect the citizens of Hawaii to the men and women of the Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and U.S. Merchant Marine.
As home to U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, the U.S. Pacific Fleet, Marine Corps Forces Pacific, the 14th Coast Guard District, and significant U.S. merchant shipping, Honolulu plays a key role in projecting and supporting American Seapower.
Hawaii’s economy is highly reliant on maritime security and oceanic commerce, and after tourism, national security is the largest economic sector. The presence of the Sea Services enhances the preparedness and resiliency of Hawaii in the event of external threats or a natural disaster.
The citizens of Hawaii benefit from the presence of the Sea Services, and the Honolulu Council plays a unique role in supporting the Sea Services and their families.
Please look at the calendar of events on this website and find something that interests you. There are ample opportunities to engage, learn, communicate, educate, serve, volunteer and have fun!
We hope you will join our Council and become part of our important mission.
Sincerely,
Bill Kearns
President
Navy League of the United States
