The Navy League of the United States Central Florida Council is unique among military-oriented associations in that it is a civilian organization dedicated to the education of our children and adult citizens, including our elected officials, and the support of the men and women of the sea services and their families living in, visiting, or from Central Florida. You need not have served in the military to be a member of the Navy League. We have been in central Florida since the 1960’s and are a chapter of the national organization of the Navy League of the United States headquartered in Washington, DC.

We of the Navy League of the United States stand for a strong America - a nation morally, economically, and internally strong.

We oppose any usurpation of the Congress's constitutional authority over the Armed Services.
We urge that our country maintain world leadership in scientific research and development. We support industrial preparedness, planning and production.
We support efforts of our government to achieve worldwide peace through international cooperation.
We advocate a foreign policy, which will avoid wars - if possible; if not, win them!
