everything honorable and glorious.
George Washington to Marquis de Lafayette, 15 November 1781

We are in the process of redesigning our website, and will temporarily cease posting new content here until we unveil our new site in June. Our new logo will appear throughout the new site at that point--for now, check it out at the top of this page. We're excited to soon provide you a more streamlined, searchable, and user-friendly portal for Navy history!
