Navy's 231st Birthday: Still Defending Freedom

Special message from Adm. Mike Mullen Video

For the fifth straight year we will celebrate our Navy’s birthday -- this one the 231st -- at war. In fact, it was five years ago this month that naval forces launched the first strikes against the Taliban from ships steaming in the Indian Ocean. Today, from the Western Pacific into the Persian Gulf and Mediterranean, all the way to the Horn of Africa and even to our own shores, tens of thousands of deployed Sailors continue to take the fight to the enemy.
