Happy 250th Birthday United States Navy. In the city where our Navy was born, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Daryl Caudle joined Philadelphia leaders at City Hall to raise the American flag and read the poem “Old Glory” — honoring 250-years of service, sacrifice, and sea power. From the first ships built on the Delaware River to the world’s most advanced Fleet, our Navy stands ready to defend the Nation and ensure peace through strength. As Adm. Caudle reminds us, we are forging the future in the Foundry, sustaining the Fleet, and always ready to Fight and win — today and for the next 250 years. #Navy250 #FoundryFleetFight #PeaceThroughStrength #USNavy #OldGlory
