At the heart of America’s story is the sea. From the Continental Navy to today’s global force, the Navy’s story is America’s story.

As we celebrate our nation's 250th anniversary, we're launching our "13 Colonies" series to highlight the contributions of the states that started it all.

Today we're off to Massachusetts! From USS Constitution, the oldest commissioned warship afloat, to Medal of Honor recipient Thomas J. Hudner Jr., the Bay State's naval heritage has helped define the character, courage and fighting spirit of the United States Navy.
