Why I am doing this.

Being a Life Member of United States Submarine Veterans Inc. carries a certain responsibility.  That is to perform some service in support of the USSVI Creed.  The Creed reads:

To perpetuate the memory of our shipmates who gave their lives in the pursuit of their duties while serving their country. That their dedication, deeds and supreme sacrifice be a constant source of motivation toward greater accomplishments. Pledge loyalty and patriotism to the United States Government. 

Who I am

BIO:  Jim Christley retired as a Senior Chief Electrician from Naval Service in 1982 after serving on two diesel boats, three fast attacks and making eleven boomer patrols.  After another seventeen years in the engineering field working in submarine noise reduction, he turned to fine art as a third career.  Working in watercolor and oil, he paints marine themes.  His work can be seen at various galleries in Southeast Connecticut and in various private and corporate collections.
