SUPPORT THE CAMPAIGN
The Freedom of the Seas campaign to build the National Museum of the Surface Navy was launched in 2018 by the Pacific Battleship Center, a 501(c)3 non-profit based in Los Angeles. The Pacific Battleship Center was founded in 2008 with the mission to ignite curiosity, connect communities, and enhance understanding of America’s role in maritime peace and prosperity.
The crew of the Pacific Battleship Center has numerous accomplishments since its founding including:
- Securing the donation of the ex-USS Iowa from the US Navy in 2011.
- The Battleship IOWA Museum as a top 5 Los Angeles museum and attraction.
- Co-founding LA Fleet Week, a unique affiliation between the City and Port of Los Angeles, the military, and the USO.
- Delivering in-situ STEM education programming to 10’s of thousands of Los Angeles area students.
- Veterans West, an innovative program focused on veterans connection.
- Interfacing with local disaster planners and responders to strengthen resillience.
- Freedom of the Seas Awards, a national level program recognizing leaders in all sectors.
The Pacific Battleship Center is funded through the generosity of individuals, foundations, and companies who donate, volunteer, and financially support the initiatives of the organizations. We receive no government funding towards the operations of the organization.
