- On this day in 1775, the Continental Congress voted to arm two sailing vessels and to send them out to intercept ships carrying munitions to the British army in America.""Happy birthday, U.S. Navy!
- This Navy vessel delivers ammunition and provisions to other ships at sea so they can continue on their missions.""See how those supplies are put to use on one aircraft carrier
- This ship was built in and launched from the city that hosts the largest U.S. Navy base on the West Coast.""Can you guess which city it is?
- If you\ve marveled that planes can take off from and land on naval aircraft carriers…""This ship\s namesake was the one who started it all
