U.S. Navy

All gave some, some gave all. This Memorial Day we honor the service members who laid down their lives in defense of the United States. #MemorialDay #USNavy #GoldStarFamilies #NeverForget

We all have a list. Say their names. Their memories will never fade.

Congratulations to the Class of 2026 @NavyStadium. Today, they sent their covers soaring, marking their transition to officers in the Navy and Marine Corps after four years of challenges, sacrifice, and triumph. Anchors aweigh! ⚓️ #classof2026 @thejointstaff

"As we approach the 250th anniversary of America’s founding, you'll be responsible for carrying that legacy forward. When you don your rank the decisions you make, the actions you take, and the Sailors you lead will shape the fabric of our naval forces for another 250 years."

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 @NavalAcademy Class of 2026: We could not be more proud.   Semper Fi and Hooyah!

Today at the U.S. @NavalAcademy, I saw the next generation of naval officers standing ready to take the watch.   While it is one thing to be told they have what it takes, it is entirely another to look them in the eye as they raise their right hand and swear to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.   Standing before this incredible class, I was overwhelmed with hope. These aren't just the leaders of tomorrow—they represent the unbreakable resolve of our Nation.   Class of 2026: You have the watch!

We’re not buying into foreign shipyards—we’re having them invest in U.S. shipbuilding. By bringing their operations stateside, we can crank out our ships quicker and create over half a million American jobs. It’s time to breathe new life into our nation’s industrial base.

Reflecting on conversations with Congress this week as we approach Memorial Day. No matter who I am speaking with, my focus always returns to the Marines and Sailors who signed a blank check to defend our homeland. Freedom isn't free. We owe an unpayable debt to our fallen and to our Gold Star families.

United by the sea 🇺🇸🌊🇯🇵 U.S. Navy Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Howard (DDG 83) arrives at Shimoda, Japan for the 87th annual Black Ship Festival. The festival commemorates the 1854 arrival of Commodore Matthew C. Perry and his “black ships” to Shimoda, and the subsequent signing of the Japan-U.S. Treaty of Peace and Amity marking the start of diplomacy and trade between both countries.

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. Today we're off to Massachusetts! From USS Constitution, the oldest commissioned warship afloat, to Medal of Honor recipient Thomas J. Hudner Jr., the Bay State's naval heritage has helped define the character, courage and fighting spirit of the United States Navy. #Navy250 #Freedom250 #America250

Forging the future, one Sailor at a time. ⚓ Sailors participate in pass-in-review at U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command in Great Lakes, Illinois. Training is approximately nine weeks and all enlistees in the U.S. Navy begin their career at the command. More than 40,000 recruits train annually at the Navy’s only boot camp. 📸 MC2 Stuart Posada

"This year’s budget request is strategy-driven and aligned to the Navy’s priorities and the objectives of the NDS, leveraging the concepts outlined in the Fighting Instructions to ensure our investments directly strengthen the Foundry, the Fleet, and the way we Fight.” -CNO

Today during the Senate Armed Services Committee Hearing, I announced the MQ-25A Stingray is moving into the production phase. Integrating unmanned refueling extends the lethality of our Carrier Strike Groups and equips our force with a decisive advantage to fight and win against any adversary.
