In the navy
Yes, you can sail the seven seas
In the navy
Yes, you can put your mind at ease
In the navy
Come on people, fall an’ make a stand
In the navy, in the navy
Can’t you see we need a hand
In the navy
Come on, protect the motherland
In the navy
Come on and join your fellow man
In the navy
Come on people and make a stand
In the navy, in the navy, in the navy, oh
They want you, they want you
They want you as a new recruit

“The Revolutionary War caused the capture of Skene’s trading schooner and the building of a fleet by Benedict Arnold at this place. Because of the Revolutionary War actions, the New York State Legislature, in 1960, declared the legacy that names Whitehall as the Birthplace of the United States Navy.”

The Navy is the only Constitutionally authorized standing US military. The rest( Army USAF) have to be periodically re-authorized by acts of Congress.
Full disclosure most all my family both close and extended were Navy or Marines.
We have two Black sheep, me, USAF and a nephew, USA.
Happy birthday Navy!

11 proud years Navy (75-86). One more year and I could have changed my crow and service stripes from red to gold as an E6. Would have done at least 20, but saw the way it was heading. Plus, got a great shore gig opportunity.
