USS Indianapolis Commissioning Ceremony

Event Information

We are honored and privileged again to have a Naval Vessel named for our capital city, Indianapolis. The Commissioning ceremony will take place on Oct. 26, 2019. We hope you will join us for the many events that will take place as part of this celebration that honors the hard work of the crew in getting Indianapolis ready for sea and its official entry of Indianapolis into the Navy’s fleet. We anticipate the attendance of many senior military leaders, elected and appointed governmental officials, numerous business leaders, community leaders and veterans of previous Indianapolis crews as we honor and celebrate this historic event. The commissioning Ceremony is an official Navy event. There is no admission fee, however, due to limited seating and security, admission is by invitation only. Requests for tickets may be made here.
