USS OLYMPIA
The Philadelphia Commandery holds luncheons throughout the year. These luncheons introduce a guest speaker discussing areas of interest to the US Navy, Marines, and naval services. Luncheons are held at historic venues throughout downtown Philadelphia. (All events require gentlemen to wear jacket and tie).
The Philadelphia Commandery also joins other veteran and naval/military organizations locally in commemorating historical events, such as the Battle of Manila Bay aboard the USS Olympia (now home ported in Philadelphia). The commemorations are in support of the Naval Order's mission to preserve naval and maritime history.

NAVAL ORDER OF THE UNITED STATES
National and Commandery Sites
The Naval Order of the United States is the living history of our sea going services. Our membership keeps history alive through the restoration of historic artifacts, establishment of memorials at key sites, and the active collection of our shared history through academic papers, published works, and ad hoc stories.
We are a growing community of members spanning multiple generations and military engagements. Using written, visual, aural and social media, we tell our stories and work as a community to build, restore, and commemorate our treasured national history of those who went to sea in the name of our country.
Please visit our national website, or one of our commandery websites if you plan on travelling to that location.
