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.

This week, we head to New Jersey! From the iconic battleship USS New Jersey to the home of legendary leaders like Fleet Admiral William F. Halsey Jr., the Garden State has had an outsized role in defining our naval history.
