Bill > J00506

This resolution memorializes Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 11, 2025, as Submarine Day in New York State, recognizing the historical and ongoing significance of submarines in national defense. The resolution highlights the importance of submarines and their crews, noting that the United States Navy was born in Whitehall, New York, in 1775, and that National Submarine Day commemorates the government's acquisition of the USS Holland on April 11, 1900. The document provides historical context about submarine development, including early vessels like the Turtle from the Revolutionary War era and the USS Alligator from the Civil War. It emphasizes the critical role submarines have played in protecting national freedom over the past 123 years and acknowledges New York's connections to submarine history, such as the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum and the New York State Submariners Memorial. The resolution aims to express gratitude to the submarine fleet and the courageous men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces, ultimately requesting that a copy of the resolution be transmitted to Governor Hochul.
