About this event

We are pleased to announce the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) has invited a limited number of TRA members and their family to attend their 2026 Friends and Family Cruise Day to be held August 8, 2026. The Friends and Family Cruise is a naval tradition held either before or after a long deployment, offering the crew members an opportunity to show off their ship to their loved ones. As you might imagine, they put on a great show! Captain Will Mathis has kindly allowed members of the TRA to participate in this wonderful event. There will be guided tours of the ship, demonstrations on the flight deck, meals (continental breakfast, lunch & snacks) and entertainment for all ages. This ship sails early in the morning from her homeport at the San Diego Naval Base in California and returns in the late afternoon. This promises to be an unforgettable experience onboard "The Big Stick!"

Before registering, PLEASE READ ALL of the materials and forms that were provided via email to all active TRA members concerning. Attendees must be between the ages of 8 and 75.
