The Navy League of the United States is proud to host the U.S. Navy’s official 243rd Birthday Ball in the National Capital Region. The ball will be held at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center, Washington, D.C., on October 13.

Since 1972, each CNO has encouraged a Navy-wide birthday celebration to enhance a greater appreciation of our Navy heritage, and to provide a positive influence toward pride and professionalism in the naval service. The Navy League is honored to host this celebration of the Navy’s birthday in the Nation’s Capital. Please join us as we honor 243 years of service to our country through this year’s theme, “Forged by The Sea.”
