About us
The Navy League of the United States (NLUS) was founded in 1902 with the encouragement of President Theodore Roosevelt. The Navy League has provided a powerful voice for a stronger sea service to Congress and to the American people. The Navy League has grown into the foremost citizens' organization to serve, support, and stand with all the sea services – U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Coast Guard and U.S.-flag Merchant Marine. The Navy League is comprised of 40,000 civilians in more than 240 councils around the world working to support sea service members and their families. We do this through a variety of education programs that remind our fellow citizens that the United States is a maritime nation whose national economic and security interests are inextricably tied to the freedom of the seas. The Navy League has three missions: to enhance the morale of active duty personnel and their families; to inform Congress and the American public on the importance of strong sea services; and to support youth through programs such as the Naval Sea Cadet Corps, Junior ROTC and Young Marines that expose young people to the values of our sea services. Over the years, the Navy League has compiled an impressive record of accomplishment. Today the Navy League is widely respected by citizens, community and industrial leaders, and public officials. Navy League programs are welcomed in communities throughout the nation, and members are recognized for their integrity and patriotism.

#OTD in U.S. Navy History: On September 5, 1776, the Continental Congress officially adopted the first uniforms for U.S. Navy officers, marking a significant moment in naval history. These uniforms were a clear departure from the ornate styles of the British Royal Navy, reflecting the democratic ideals of the young nation while still embracing the dignified presence of naval officers. The uniform regulations called for navy blue coats with red lapels, standing collars, flat yellow buttons, and blue breeches, alongside red waistcoats that denoted rank. From captains to midshipmen, each rank had specific distinctions that represented the authority and professionalism expected of a naval officer. Though many officers may not have been able to afford these elaborate uniforms, the design set a standard that would symbolize the honor and leadership associated with the U.S. Navy. "Captains—Blue cloth, with red lapels, slash cuff, stand-up collar, flat yellow buttons, blue breeches, red waistcoat, with narrow lace." #NavyHistory #NavalHeritage #usnavy #OTD #onthisday #navyleague #americanhistory

Navy League of the United States reposted this
Admiral James G. Foggo (ret.) MSC for The MOC: "But what would happen if the United States no longer deployed nuclear-powered aircraft carriers? The answer is chilling and compelling. Without a robust fleet of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, the United States would no longer be able to deploy a credible deterrent capability to contested regions around the world. Without the presence of American carriers, authoritarian rulers, terrorist organizations, and non-state actors would run amuck. This is particularly evident today in the Middle East."

I had the opportunity to have a wide-ranging conversation with Admiral James G. Foggo (ret.) MSC yesterday on the Center for Maritime Strategy's Maritime Nation podcast. The team there is doing great work reporting and educating on maritime issues for the Navy League of the United States.

While V-J Day is celebrated on August 15 outside the U.S., Sept. 2, 1945 marks Japan's official signing of the surrender documents in Tokyo Bay, aboard the the USS Missouri. Not only was this the end of the war in the Pacific, it marked the end of World War II. We celebrate the heroes who brought an end to this infamous war, fighting for peace and freedom in Europe and the Pacific. Thank you for raising the flag of liberty!

🚨Ship Adoption🚨 The Kingsville Council of the Navy League has officially adopted the USS KINGSVILLE (LCS 36), marking a significant milestone in its ongoing support of U.S. sea service members and their families. The adoption ceremony took place on August 20, aboard the USS Kingsville, graciously hosted by Commander Ludwig Mann III, Commanding Officer of the ship. This event reinforced the council's commitment to serving as the primary support system for the crew and their families. Before the adoption ceremony, Navy League members toured the ship, receiving a firsthand look at the vessel and its capabilities. Afterward, the Kingsville council presented the crew with gifts, including custom USS Kingsville t-shirts, pins, and decals, as a token of appreciation for their service. On August 24, the U.S. Navy's newest littoral combat ship was officially commissioned in a ceremony in Corpus Christi, Texas. The LCS 36 is the first U.S. Navy warship named in honor of Kingsville, Texas, making its commissioning a historic occasion for both the ship and the community it symbolizes. The Kingsville Navy League has a history of supporting local sea-service organizations, and with this adoption, they now support six commands: USS Kingsville (LCS 36), NAS Kingsville, Training Air Wing TWO, Training Squadron TWENTY-ONE, Training Squadron TWENTY-TWO, and Donna ISD Marine Corps JROTC. The council's dedication to supporting the crew of the USS Kingsville and their families is a testament to the Navy League’s mission to advocate for and support America’s sea services.
