Torpedo on ice 🧊 The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Torpedo Recovery Team uses a winch to raise a MK 48 inert training torpedo at ICE CAMP Boarfish during Operation ICE CAMP 2026. ICE CAMP Boarfish is a three-week operation designed to research, test, and evaluate operational capabilities in the Arctic region. In addition to U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, and Air National Guard, ICE CAMP brings together personnel from Australia, Canada, France, the United Kingdom, Norway, and Japan. Held biennially, ICE CAMP partners with the Arctic Submarine Laboratory and was elevated from an exercise to an operation to better reflect the Navy’s strategic priorities in the Arctic. ICE CAMP provides the necessary training to maintain a working knowledge of a constantly changing region. 📸 MC1 Jacob D. Bergh

Congratulations on an outstanding season @NavyAthletics Midshipmen. Back-to-back Commander-in-Chief’s Trophies, a comeback win over Army, Liberty Bowl champions, and 11 wins—built on toughness, discipline, and teamwork. You are not just student-athletes: you are future warfighters. Proud of you. Go Navy Beat Army!

Today, at @HadrianInc’s factory of the future we delivered the generational investment required to rebuild our @USNavy shipbuilding capacity, bringing those jobs back to Alabama and putting American skilled laborers back at the center of American strength. A new kind of strategic partnership.

None of this could have happened without the leadership of @POTUS and both chambers of Congress.

We mourn the passing of Chuck Norris, a true patriot and an honorary Marine. He embodied strength, discipline and an unwavering love of our country. Semper Fidelis.

“An incredible, synchronized joint force...” Testifying before the Senate Armed Services Committee, #SOUTHCOM Commander Gen. Francis L.

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.   Our journey begins in Georgia. From establishing one of the original NROTC programs to hosting the heart of the Navy's strategic deterrence at Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay, Georgia's contribution to our naval history is profound and enduring.   #Navy250 #Freedom250 #America250

It was a privilege to highlight Richard Gudis’ generosity and service to our military families as he was recognized with the Fisher Foundation’s Distinguished Civilian Humanitarian Award. His dedication is a powerful reminder that patriotism extends beyond the battlefield, found in the quiet support of our heroes at home.

.@POTUS has been clear: America will dominate the seas. The @USNavy and @USMC deliver the combat power that deters our enemies, protects our way of life, and secures the homeland. Adm. Caudle, Gen. Smith, and I recognize that the heart of our naval force is not found in the Pentagon, it starts at home - it is in the family and friends who support them. Our Nation's safety, prosperity, and the values we hold dear are upheld by the strength of our military families. Thank you for standing behind our warfighters.

We mourn the six U.S. Airmen who gave their lives in service to our Nation. They answered the call without hesitation, took to the skies in defense of freedom, and stood the watch for all of us. The Department of the Navy stands shoulder to shoulder with the @USAirForce and the entire Joint Force in grief and in gratitude. Their courage will not be forgotten. Their sacrifice will be honored in the strength and readiness we carry forward every day. God bless our fallen. God bless their families. God Bless the United States of America, and our joint force that defend her.

President Trump gave me a clear direction: modernize defense acquisition and accelerate innovation. The Department of the Navy is delivering.

Last December, we established our first Portfolio Acquisition Executive for Robotic & Autonomous Systems, led by Rebecca Gassler.

Today, we add five more interim PAEs:
➡️ Maritime - Chris Miller
➡️ Industrial Operations - VADM James Downey
➡️ Marine Corps - LtGen Eric Austin
➡️ Strategic Systems Programs - VADM Johnny Wolfe
➡️ Undersea / DRPM Submarines - VADM Rob Gaucher

Single accountable leaders empowered to move fast, take measured risk, and deliver capability to our warfighters at speed. Too much is at stake for business as usual.
