This resolution commemorates the 250th birthday of the United States Navy, tracing its origins to the Continental Congress's establishment of a Continental Navy on October 13, 1775. The founders recognized the essential nature of a Navy, providing constitutional authority to "provide and maintain a Navy" to protect American interests. For 250 years, the Navy has upheld this tradition, projecting American values and maintaining freedom of navigation globally with its current force of over 290 ships, 3,700 aircraft, and 500,000 personnel. The resolution highlights the unmatched courage, skill, and dedication of Navy Sailors throughout history, acknowledging their vital role in humanitarian missions, disaster relief, deterrence, and diplomacy. It emphasizes the Navy's continued leadership in technological innovation and strategic deterrence, guided by its core values of "Honor, Courage, and Commitment." The House of Representatives expresses profound appreciation for the sacrifices of Navy families, veterans, and civilians, reaffirming its unwavering commitment to supporting the United States Navy as a crucial instrument of national power and global stability.
