We are still building our website. Please return soon for more photos, sea stories, and memories from the battalion over the years.
In 2001, CDR Korth retired from the US Navy after 32 years of service, most of which with NCHB-5. This group of sailors have become part of his extended family, and in an effort to keep the family together, CDR Korth launched the NCHB-5 Association.
The purpose of the Association is to support the work of NCHB-5 and the ongoing camaraderie of shipmates past and present.
Numerous NCHB-5 alumni serve as regional representatives throughout the Pacific Northwest, organize local gatherings, and help keep shipmates connected. NCHB-5 shipmates who would like to participate in local gatherings should reach out to their Regional Rep. Email us and we'll connect you!
