The Association is organized to maintain a proud and active relationship between the citizens of Delaware and the crew and families of USS Delaware (SSN 791), specifically to:

 

• Support the morale, well-being, and recreation of the crew and their families.
• Encourage, advocate, and generate statewide support for the crew of USS Delaware throughout the life of the submarine, and beyond, and to educate the citizens of Delaware about their namesake submarine.
• Educate the crew about the beauty of Delaware and the heritage of previous vessels commissioned as USS Delaware.
• Raise funds and finance appropriate events and activities associated with these objectives.
