Well, I've created a Facebook page for SUBMARINEMUSEUMS.ORG so if you're on there, search for "SUBMARINEMUSEUMS.ORG" and become a fan.  :)

I believe this link will get you to it:

http://www.facebook.com/pages/SUBMARINEMUSEUMSORG/99979933905

I also have a personal Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter page.

Thanks John.  I know that at least a few of the regulars here have a Facebook account and maybe a MySpace account.  There are at least 2 great submarine groups on Facebook ... "Submarines" and "Got Dolphins?" are very big.  They have discussion boards and all that.  The SUBMARINEMUSEUMS.ORG thing is just a fan page.  I don't want to even think about being tied exclusively to Facebook, no way.

So if you have a Facebook account, become a fan and tell a friend.  If you don't have a Facebook account, what are you waiting for?  :)

Awesome Lance, I was going to suggest creating a facebook page a while back but I wasnt sure that many people on this site had facebook or anything, I thing this is a big step forward for the site, and for our Subs! Thanks for doing everything you have done Lance

This great - there are about 6 or more submarine related FaceBook groups now - just search for friends using Submarine.  I have now hooked up with two former Russian Submarine offices, one was skipper of K-77 (Valery Grigoriev, and the other is Igor Kurdin, officer on the K-407 (Delta).  Igor is the Chairmanof the Submariners of St. Petersburg. http://www.submarinersclub.ru/

So jump in there if you have not joined.  Also this is a good way to get some interest in this site.  A couple of the submarine groups is over 1,000 members and growing.  Many are on active duty, and many are recently discharged from the looks of their postings.
