PING is our electronic newsletter filled with Naval Submarine History and Upcoming Museum Events!
PING is published on a monthly basis. But we also hope to bring out periodic special editions when we have special stories we want to share.
We value your opinion and actively seek your feedback.
So please send us your comments so we can make PING better and provide you with content that is useful for you.
So, if there is a particular topic you would like to explore, an aspect of submarine history that really interests you, anything related to US Submarine history, let us know and we'll put something together.
