"This week, like every week for the last 248 years, our Navy is standing the watch. In times of peace and war, we can be found in and on the sea, the air, space, and in the cyber realm, so that our citizens, and global citizens who are committed to following the rules-based international order, have the chance to live free. We are as critical to our nation today as we were on Oct. 13, 1775, and we can all be proud and honored to serve alongside the greatest Sailors the world has ever known. Let’s keep our underway shipmates top of mind now as always, and may we continue to deliver on the profound trust our nation has put in us to keep it safe. - ADM. Lisa M. Franchetti, Vice Chief of Naval Operations
