On October 13, 250 years ago, the Continental Congress authorized the establishment of the Continental Navy, marking the birth of what would become the United States Navy. Over a week ago, in Norfolk, with President Trump in attendance, the Navy showcased its impressive, combined arms capabilities. But on this semiquincentennial, the U.S. Navy, the most powerful in the world, had humble beginnings—a single fishing boat.

Of course, the most important battle the USN faces in the near future will be on December 13 when the Middies take on the US Army.

Original lyrics, 1906;

Stand Navy down the field, sails set to the sky.
We'll never change our course, so Army you steer shy-y-y-y.
Roll up the score, Navy, Anchors Aweigh.
Sail Navy down the field and sink the Army, sink the Army Grey.
