In order to honor Tench Francis as the founding officer of the Navy Supply Corps, the Tench Francis Legacy Society was established by the Foundation to recognize those members who have included the Foundation in their estate planning.

Under the Heritage Committee, the Ship Display Program was created to capture the traditions and customs of the Navy Supply Corps, as well as tell its cherished story on board some of our most treasured warships. These Memorial Ship Museums are our primary venue to engage and educate the public, providing a record of the Navy Supply Corps history and maritime traditions. From aircraft carriers to battleships, museum ships across the country host 12 to 15 million visitors per year.
Our recent project with Battleship North Carolina includes the Provisions Issue compartment, Officer Galley, and a Storeroom (pictures below). The replica can selections are based on a 1941 photograph and archived Supply Dept. records. The exhibit is still being created, but it is fun to see the progress!


Additionally, at the Battleship IOWA, the Navy Supply Corps Foundation partnership includes support for Vicky's Doghouse Cafe. Located on the main deck, Vicky's is a popular destination for patrons of the museum ship. The signage below was installed just in time for LA Fleet Week!


To learn more about our Museum Ship displays and exhibits, visit our Heritage page! Also, we would love to see pictures of you enjoying these exhibits. Email communications@usnscf.com with photos of your adventures!

Our Chapters are the face of the Foundation--bringing the Supply Community together through professional networking, community outreach...and incredibly fun socials! Check out the amazing 227th Birthday Celebrations around the globe!
