USS Rich Virtual Homeport

The USS Rich Association is fraternal group comprised of former officers and crew members who served aboard the ship during her 32 years in service to our nation.

In addition to this extensive website and a quarterly newsletter, the Association sponsors a USS Rich Memorial aboard the floating museum, USS Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr. (DD950) at Battleship Cove in Fall River, Massachusetts. A memorial plaque has been placed at the Nimitz Museum in Fredricksburg, Texas.

Members of the association actively support the maintenance and upkeep of the USS Laffey (DD724) by holding an annual Field Day aboard the ship. This highly-decorated Sumner-class destroyer is another floating museum which is located at Patriot's Point Naval and Maritime Museum in Mount Pleasant (Charleston), South Carolina. Additional volunteer efforts are conducted aboard the Laffey at various times throughout the year.

The highlight of membership is, of course, the annual Rich Reunion held each year at locations throughout the United States:

Membership dues are a nominal $15.00 per year from January 1 to December 31
