HR 5970 United States House · 119th Congress

Save Our Ships Act

This bill creates the Historic Naval Ship Preservation Grant Program under the Department of the Interior to fund the physical preservation of decommissioned military vessels displayed at public sites like museums and memorials. It authorizes $5 million annually for competitive grants to state/local governments or nonprofits managing these "covered sites," covering vessel repairs, environmental protection, and education programs related to shipbuilding and submarine careers. The program directly supports organizations that maintain historic military vessels, ensuring public access to these educational resources. It does not alter existing vessel ownership or military operations but provides dedicated funding for their upkeep and educational use.
