Mission

The mission of the Navy League of the United States is to promote and enhance U.S. global sea power while supporting America’s sea services. We advocate for the vital contributions of our sea services — the United States Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and U.S.-Flagged Merchant Marine — in safeguarding the nation’s security and bolstering its economic prosperity. Through support, education and advocacy, we aim to strengthen the connections between the American public, government and our maritime services by reinforcing that the United States of America is a maritime nation.

Educate national, state and local government leaders and the public at large on the critical importance of maintaining robust sea services.
