On 13 October 1775, the Second Continental Congress authorized the raising of the Continental Navy. Today, our Navy celebrates its 234th Birthday.

Thank you to all who have served, who currently serve, and who will serve in the future.

USS Enterprise (1874):

Did a lot of hydrographic work; never had to fight.

USS Enterprise CV-6:

She ... ummm ... saw a little bit of action ... ;'}

"The seventh Enterprise (CV 6) was the first "Big E". She was a commissioned aircraft carrier and served during the second World War. The most decorated ship in history, the Enterprise participated in some of the largest battles in World War II including the Battle of Midway and others."

CVN65 USS ENTERPRISE:

She's seen a bit of action, too, against communists and more recently mohammedan terrorists.

Funny how history repeats itself.

Happy Birthday to the folks who keep the WORLD'S waterways safe, secure, and open.

BTW: We all know that Village People song was really written about the Marines. ;)

Yes, we will be there - it looks like Army’s team is getting competitive, so it should be a good game!
