Today, we celebrate 251 years of the United States Navy. From the wooden decks of our first warships to the most powerful fleet the world has ever known, our history has been forged through sacrifice, courage, and battles won.

Our heritage is not just something we remember; it is something we carry forward. Every victory, every Sailor who stood the watch, and every Chief and Officer who led from the front built the legacy we are entrusted to uphold.

We inherited a U.S. Navy built by warriors. It is our responsibility to leave it stronger than we found it. Never forget the collar devices we wear represent generations of leadership, sacrifice, and an unwavering commitment to victory.

Happy 251st Birthday to the world's greatest Navy!

HOORAH NAVY!
