Navy Day

U.S. Navy Day is October 27th

Navy Day celebrates the founding of the US Navy. This holiday was officially celebrated all across the United States until the institution of Armed Forces Day in 1949. Still Navy Day is celebrated, though mostly in smaller circles within the Navy itself. The date was chosen to coincide with the birthday of President Theodore Roosevelt, but it was later officially changed to the actual date of the founding of the Navy on October 13. Despite the official change most people still celebrate it on October 27.
