251 years of global dominance, warfighting excellence, and safeguarding the seas. 🌊 ⚓

Yesterday, on October 13, 1775, the Continental Congress authorized the first armed vessels to defend a young nation. The world's most lethal and ready maritime force still stands the watch 24/7/365—on, above, and below the sea.

To the Sailors, veterans, families, and civilians who make up our Navy team:

Happy 251st birthday!

A successful underway is built on strong teamwork, both on watch and off. Last week, our crew proved they can work hard and play hard at the ice cream social and MWR halloween movie trivia!

Special thanks to the MWR committee and the chiefs who stood by to scoop, set up, and keep the event running smoothly. Your hard work keeps this ship moving forward!

Congratulations to all our trivia competitors and the winner who walked away with a gift card provided by the MWR committee!
