@skullnbonesgame Thought it was my system. Deleted game and reinstalled, rebooted router, cable modem...what a pain. Tried to report the issue on the website and got a message that I wasn't allowed. Guess it's just me...

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary

[U.S. Navy @USNavy]

At the heart of America’s story is the sea. From the Continental Navy to today’s global force, the Navy’s story is America’s story.

As we celebrate our nation's 250th anniversary, we're launching our "13 Colonies" series to highlight the contributions of the states that started it all.

Next stop, South Carolina! From the legendary James E. Williams, the most decorated enlisted Sailor in Navy history, to Joint Base Charleston, a major strategic hub for the joint force, South Carolina's naval heritage is strong.

That time Trump chatted with the guard instead of King Charles is one of my favorite moments.

Congratulations to the new Secretary of the Navy
Hung Cao! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🫡🫡

Hung Cao has a really impressive military background. He's a retired US Navy captain who served more than 30 years, from 1989 to 2021. He started out as an enlisted sailor back in 1989, then graduated from the Naval Academy in 1996 with a degree in ocean engineering. Later he earned a master's in applied physics and did fellowships at MIT and Harvard.

Most of his career focused on special operations as an explosive ordnance disposal officer and deep sea diving officer. He often worked right alongside Navy SEALs and other special forces teams, handling bomb disposal, counter-IED missions, and underwater operations in tough spots. One early highlight was in 1999, when he led the dive team that recovered the bodies of John F. Kennedy Jr., his wife Carolyn, and her sister after their plane crash off Martha's Vineyard.

Cao is a combat veteran with deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan, and Somalia. He spent years disarming roadside bombs and explosive threats on the battlefield, and in his final tour he directed sensitive operations, counter-drone work, and other key tasks for special operations command. He picked up several big awards along the way, including the Bronze Star Medal and the Defense Superior Service Medal.

Making history 🇺🇸🏈

Two U.S Navy F/A-18 Super Hornets and two F-35C Lightning IIs from Naval Air Station Lemoore, Calif. joined Air Force B-1B Lancers and F-15C Eagles for a joint flyover for Super Bowl LX.

This historic Air Force/Navy flyover involving the U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, and California Air National Guard commemorated America’s 250th anniversary.

From prep to launch to recovery. ⚓️

Marines and Sailors work in sync on the flight deck of USS San Antonio (LPD 17) as a CH-53 Super Stallion is readied for takeoff, guided into the air, and secured after landing while underway last month in the Caribbean Sea.

Presence. Partnership. Power.

In 2025, your U.S. Navy stood the watch around the globe. From the Red Sea to the southern border, from the Baltics to the Indo-Pacific, we were there. We celebrated epic deployments, honored our 250-year heritage, and invested in the future of our Golden Fleet. See our year in action.

Ship. Shipmate. Self. 

This #VeteransDay, we honor those who stood the watch and put others before themselves in defense of freedom.

In SANDS OF IWO JIMA (1949), the actual flag raised on Mt. Suribachi during the battle was used in the reenactment of the event. When star John Wayne placed his footprints into cement outside Grauman's Chinese Theater, black sand from Iwo Jima was mixed into the slab.
