America is a maritime nation. Since before our Nation’s inception, America’s Warfighting Navy has sailed the globe in defense of freedom. Beginning in January 2025, the Navy celebrates its 250th birthday with a series of commemorative events, multilateral exercises, and community engagements. Over the course of this two-year effort, the Navy will inform and engage audiences about how it safeguards U.S. national security, supports our Allies and partners, and remains essential to sustaining America’s prosperity and protecting U.S. interests around the globe. Here are a few ways you can participate in wishing the Navy, and the Nation, a happy 250th birthday!
