Crewmen of USS Galena (U.S. Naval Historical Center Photograph)

A small slice of naval history to commemorate the 242nd birthday of the U.S. Navy. It’s pretty hard to find a single image that fully expresses the heritage, history, complexity, and essence of the United States Navy, but any photo that highlights the dedicated sailors that have served through the years is a good place to start. (And no, I am not actually in the photo…)
