The USS ALABAMA Crewmate Program was founded in 1967 as an ambassador effort for the then newly created USS ALABAMA Battleship Memorial Park.  The Crewmates volunteer their time at events promoting Battleship Memorial Park, the City of Mobile and State of Alabama. The program, now in its 59th year, has offered more than 300 young ladies an opportunity to represent Battleship Memorial Park and our community.  The USS ALABAMA Crewmates have dedicated thousands of community service hours not only to Battleship Memorial Park, but also to Mobile County, Baldwin County, and the State of Alabama. The contest, held yearly, is based upon an application and interview process.  Outside judges select the USS ALABAMA Crewmates based on poise, personality, intellect, community involvement and interest in Battleship Memorial Park.  Each year, $13,500.00 in scholarship money is awarded to the young women selected as USS ALABAMA Crewmates. To qualify, young ladies must be between the ages of 19-21, reside in Mobile or Baldwin County, and, if selected, remain residents for the duration of their term Now Hear This! USS ALABAMA Battleship Memorial Park is pleased to announce the selection of the 2026-2027 USS ALABAMA Crewmates. These young women will serve as ambassadors for Battleship Memorial Park for the coming year. The USS ALABAMA Crewmates will be awarded a $2,000 scholarship to the college or university of their choice. At the end of their year of service, Miss USS ALABAMA and Miss USS DRUM will be named. These two young women will receive an additional $1,000 and $500 scholarship respectively. Elizabeth Catranis is the daughter of Dr. Theodore and Connie Catranis.
