The USS BOSTON Shipmates organization has two purposes:
- Collecting and preserving information about the contributions of BOSTON ships and crews to the history of our great country.
- Reuniting men who served aboard a USS BOSTON so they can renew old acquaintances, rekindle rich memories, and swap sea stories.
Our reunions are planned, organized, and run entirely by our volunteer committee members, many of whom have had a part in managing ten or more USS BOSTON reunions. Unlike other organizations, we have one central committee with a wealth of experience. Two of our committee members are Certified Meeting Planners.
There is no business meeting at our reunion, just comradeship and clean family fun. Wives and widows (and other family members) are welcome, and enjoy themselves. Six to eight widows typically attend the reunion each year.

The next reunion will be held in Portland, Maine. The dates are July 10 through 13, 2008.
