This year marks the Navy’s 249th Birthday — a time to celebrate naval heritage, longstanding naval dominance, and our greatest asset, our people. The central theme of this year's celebration is “Warfighting Strength and Readiness.”
Today, the U.S. Navy celebrates 249 years of being "America's Warfighting Navy" since its establishment on Oct. 13, 1775.
Let's honor our Sailors and civilians for their dedication and service to the Navy!

Happy 76th birthday to our Nuclear Navy! Without the strength of our nuclear-powered vessels, the @USNavy would not have the maritime presence that it does. Introducing nuclear power into our vessels revolutionized naval warfare and helps us to keep a strong dominance on the seas
Happy Birthday Navy Divers!
