WELCOME TO THE
NAVY LEAGUE OF THE UNITED STATES,
BARCELONA, SPAIN COUNCIL

Founded in 1970, the Navy League of the United States, Barcelona Council, is the oldest European Council of NLUS and is one of over 320 Councils world-wide of the NLUS. Our organization is unique among military-oriented groups in that it is a non-political, neutral, civilian organization dedicated to education about Sea Services, and the support of the men and women of the Sea Services of the United States and the 25 other members of NATO. Members of the Navy League bring to life our motto -- "Citizens in Support of the Sea Services"

The objectives and purposes of the Navy League are educational and motivational in matters related to maritime issues. NLUS has over 72,000 members. The individual councils form the heart of the Navy League. Councils are essential to meeting the mission and goals of the Navy League because ordinary citizens become involved in council activities. The Barcelona Council of the Navy League sponsors many activities throughout the year, such as specialized tours of visiting vessels, networking opportunities, educational talks, excursions, and camaraderie. You need not be a U.S. citizen or have prior service in the Navy to join. Membership is open to non-active military only. Our members come from many nations and speak a variety of languages, although we conduct our official business in English. Visit ou Presentations Page for a preview of sponsored events or our Events Page for activities promoted for the interest of our members.
