We mourn the passing of former Secretary of the Navy Paul Ignatius. A steady hand who led our Navy and Marine Corps through the crucible of Vietnam. His legacy of service, integrity, and quiet courage endures in every Sailor and Marine who stands the watch today. We extend our deepest condolences to the Ignatius family. Fair winds and following seas, Mr. Secretary.

This Veterans Day, the Department of the Navy commemorates 250 years of American seapower with “Above, Below, and Beyond,” a two-hour Presidential special airing Sunday, Nov. 9, 2025, on Fox Nation. In this tribute, we show the world and our adversaries that America’s Navy–Marine Corps team and their families is what makes America a superpower. This honors both those in uniform and the families who give them strength. The next century of American seapower won’t be defined by a single platform, but by the character of our people. dvidshub.net/r/q7c2ui

The @USNavy and @USMC stand ready to help Sailors and Marines negatively impacted by the COVID vaccine mandate. This is an important priority for the Department of the Navy, and that is why I’ve tasked Under Secretary Hung Cao to lead this effort.
