On October 13, 1775, the United States formally established its Navy, a formidable fighting force that would go on to dominate the world arena, providing strength and protection for our country and countless others. We are thrilled to celebrate that momentous milestone, and we’ve assembled some great Navy gear and Navy apparel to help make the moment even more meaningful.

Timeless Keepsakes to Keep the Celebration Going

Designed with a well-built alligator patterned leather case, it can stow three cigars that glide smoothly into place. A stainless steel cigar cutter makes it easy to get started, and the crest medallion on the cover and “United States Naval Academy 1845” on the interior lend it a gravitas that must be earned. Happy Birthday, Navy. This one’s for you!
Captain’s Chair: The ultimate souvenir to celebrate Navy’s birthday, the USNA Captain’s chair comes in a variety of finishes, including all black, black with cherry arms, black with cherry arms and crown, and black with a cherry crown. Made by Jardine in eco-friendly Malaysian oak, it’s an honorable homage to the Navy captain and his crew. It proudly wears the USNA seal in gold or black, and is assembled and decorated in the USA. Kick back and celebrate 249 years with this beautiful keepsake.
