Mission of the Navy
The mission of the Navy is to maintain, train and equip combat-ready Naval forces capable of winning wars, deterring aggression and maintaining freedom of the seas.
Our Strategy is about Security, Prosperity, and Seapower
Security: Maritime forces are first line of defense with ability to deploy quickly, reach difficult locations.
Prosperity: 70% of the world is water, 80% of the world lives on or near the coastline and 90% of our commerce sails across it. Any disruption in that chain caused by instability has a direct impact on American quality of life.
Seapower: The unifying force and common denominator that enables global security stability and prosperity.
This strategy clearly articulates that our sea services operate across the full spectrum of operations; raising the prevention of war to a level equal to the conduct of war. We believe that preventing wars is as important as winning wars.
