USS Cooperstown is a Freedom-class littoral combat ship that joined the United States Navy’s fleet on May 6, 2023. She is the first naval ship named to honor the 70 baseball Hall of Famers who served the United States during wartime in a range of conflicts that spanned the Civil War, World War I, World War II and the Korean War.

The Commissioning Celebration was co-hosted by the New York Council Navy League and the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in May 2023 in New York City. Our Commissioning Sponsors and Team Players helped give the crew an exciting week of high-profile events leading up to the Commissioning Ceremony on Saturday, May 6.
