Former members of the Connecticut Naval Militia in Bridgeport advocate reorganizing the state Naval Militia. A bill to reorganize units is planned for the upcoming Legislative session.

Many veterans who served in the Third division during the war were mustered into regular service and sent to North Carolina. Now discharged, they seek to revive the state Militia unit.
