As America’s away team, the U.S. Navy and its aircraft carriers stand ready to deliver lethality across the globe.

Whenever. Wherever.

#PeaceThroughStrength #Warfighting #Lethality

Surface Warriors ⚓
From the bridge to the combat information center, they command the fight and control the seas.
Precision. Presence. Power.
This is the Surface Navy 🌊

250 years ago, a Navy was born - forged in the fight for freedom, built to defend a nation, and ready to meet every challenge since. ⚓️

From wooden ships to nuclear carriers, from signal flags to satellites - the U.S. Navy stands ready on every horizon.

No better way to start the day than morning PT with America’s Sailors and Marines.

These warriors are the true backbone of America.

At the heart of America’s story is the sea. From the Continental Navy to today’s global force, the Navy’s story is America’s story.

As we celebrate our nation's 250th anniversary, we're launching our "13 Colonies" series to highlight the contributions of the states that started it all.

We're continuing our journey in the Granite State! New Hampshire's history is so deeply intertwined with our nation's maritime history that its state seal proudly features the Continental frigate Raleigh, one of the first warships commissioned for the Continental Navy.

Today's graduation in Annapolis was the proud convergence of two of my greatest honors: leading the Department of the Navy and being a father.
 
To the parents and families: thank you for raising these remarkable young men and women, and for planting the seed of service.
 
To my son—one of our Nation’s newest Second Lieutenants in the Marine Corps—and the entire @usnavalacademy Class of 2026: We could not be more proud.
 
Semper Fi and Hooyah!
