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 will celebrate its 250th birthday with a series of commemorative events, multilateral exercises, and community engagements. During the two-year long effort, the Navy will inform and engage audiences on how the Navy 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!
