The U.S. Navy traces its birthday to October 13, 1775, when the Continental Congress authorized the first armed vessels.

Today the Navy operates aircraft carriers, submarines, destroyers and aircraft to keep sea lanes open and project power around the world.

Sailors Everywhere

Navy sailors serve on ships, submarines, aircraft and shore bases in nearly every part of the globe.
