The 2026 USS Yosemite Reunion
Finally, the 2026 Reunion is Open for Registration
Bill Krug has completed his planning and negotiations for the upcoming 2026 USS Yosemite Reunion in Annapolis, Maryland, which is scheduled for April 22-26, 2026. Bill and the leadership team have worked to secure the best pricing for the hotel, banquet dinner, and tours. You can now sign up for our Reunion; everything is set. Thank you in advance for your patience. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Bill Krug by email w.krugiii@gmail.com or call him directly at (570) 878-2860.
For the 2026 Reunion, non-members who served aboard the USS Yosemite, or their spouses from deceased members who will come with family members this year, and of course, you may also be a “Friend of Yosemite”, too, may also sign up as the President’s Guests to attend, along with their families, without requiring an Association sponsor. As the President’s Guest, you don’t have to be an Association Member to attend.
Save these dates from April 22, 2026, through April 26, 2026. Join us in Annapolis for camaraderie, tours, and our annual Reunion.
