Join Our Reunion

Each year USS IOWA VETERANS ASSOCIATION hosts the USS IOWA reunion for our Navy shipmates past and present. Special hotel rates are available, plenty of entertainment is located nearby, and we have a variety of activities planned for attendees.

Every year on April 19th, shipmates, families, and friends gather for a Remembrance Ceremony at Iowa Point on Naval Station Norfolk VA 23511 and onboard USS Iowa moored at 250 S. Harbor Blvd, San Pedro CA 90731. Both Ceremonies generally start at 9:45 am local time. For additional information concerning access, parking, seating, lodging, or other planned activities at either location, please contact: For the Battleship: David Canfield (PBC Vice President and former crew member) at his email or the Veterans Association of USS Iowa for assistance.
