Established in 2019 to support the commissioning of the fourth U.S. Navy ship in American history to bear the name Cleveland, our vision is to support positive civil-military relations by creating and maintaining a strong, meaningful, and direct bond between citizens of northeast Ohio and the crew of USS CLEVELAND (LCS 31). The Foundation has a threefold mission: - To send USS CLEVELAND (LCS 31) to the Fleet with the greatest start possible - To support the ship and crew throughout her service life - To welcome her home to Cleveland at the completion of her Naval service
