Welcome aboard, shipmate!
This is our place, the USS WILLIAM H. BATES (SSN 680). The Bouncin' Billy B. may be gone, but she will never be forgotten. She pulled her weight and more, helping bring an end to the Cold War, and brought us home from every mission. It is for that, and a thousand other reasons, that we honor her memory.
This is a place to remember the boat, the exotic ports, the never-ending missions, and most of all, the iron men of the William H. Bates.
