The
Surface Navy Association (SNA) was incorporated in 1985 to
promote greater coordination and communication among those
in the military, business and academic communities who share
a common interest in Naval Surface Warfare and to support
the activities of Surface Naval Forces. The Association's
first elected President, Vice Admiral Robert L. Walters,
presided over the first board meeting in January, 1987.
In an effort to expand the communication
and education goals
of the Association, an annual symposium and convention was
begun in 1988. |
