Navy Day in United States

Navy Day on October 27th salutes all of the military personnel who have served, both past and present, in the United States Navy. October 27 also happens to be the birthday of one of the Navy's most ardent supporters, President Theodore Roosevelt, who once served as Assistant Secretary of the Navy and had supported a Navy Day. Navy Day was traditionally celebrated with pomp and circumstance between 1922 and 1949.

What is the difference between Navy Day and the Navy Birthday? Both occur in the month of October, and both celebrate the men and women of the United States Navy, past and present. The Navy celebrates its birthday officially on Oct. 13, and Navy Day was established to be observed on Oct. 27. Both occur in October and both celebrate the men and women of the U.S. Navy past and present.
