2025, marks the Navy’s 250th birthday. For 250 years, the Navy’s sailors and civilians have been the key ingredient to U.S. maritime dominance, providing an unmatched advantage at sea and onshore. Navy traditions such as Dining Outs, are an important part of connecting today’s sailors and civilians with the rich history of generations that served before them and provide an opportunity to pass down that heritage to the younger generations within the ranks.
