The USS Oklahoma SSN 802 Commissioning Committee is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit charitable organization working alongside State and Navy agencies to provide for the christening and commissioning of the future USS Oklahoma SSN 802. 

Remaining donations will be allocated for a special fund benefiting the crew of the submarine called the Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) Fund. The MWR Fund helps offset a range of support efforts for the crew such as emergency travel for the sailors, further education, and holiday meals.

George Washington said, “Without a decisive naval force, we can do nothing definitive."  The first USS Oklahoma and her crew left us a legacy of perseverance, courage and sacrifice. We move forward in the same spirit. Go Navy! Go Oklahoma!

Go Navy! Go Oklahoma!
