The Framers of the Constitution understood our freedom depended on our strength at sea.
That is why generations of Sailors have answered the call to protect our nation on the deck, beneath the waves, and in the skies above.

In Remembrance of Beirut
#OTD in 1983, a terrorist bombing at the Marine Barracks in Beirut, Lebanon, claimed the lives of 241 U.S. service members, including 220 Marines, serving as part of the Multinational Force in Lebanon.
On October 23, a suicide bomber drove a truck laden with explosives into the barracks where U.S. Marines were stationed on a peacekeeping mission. The attack devastated the building and became one of the deadliest days in Marine Corps History.
The Marines in Beirut were deployed to help restore peace and stability amid escalating violence in Lebanon. Despite the dangers they faced, they carried out their mission with courage, professionalism, and an unwavering commitment to one another.
The Beirut bombing left a lasting mark on the #MarineCorps and the nation. We remember the lost lives, honor the wounded and survivors, and recognize the families and loved ones who continue to carry the weight of that day. Their sacrifice remains woven into the legacy of every #Marine who has answered the call to serve.
Today, we pause to remember the 241 American service members who never made it home and honor their courage, sacrifice, and devotion to duty.
They came in peace. They will never be forgotten.
Semper Fidelis

FT2 David Baker and his teammates aboard USS Pasadena helped demonstrate a way to launch an underwater robot from a torpedo tube.
One option required a communications modification that typically costs about $200,000 per submarine.
Instead, Sailors worked with shore maintenance teams and Blueye Robotics to develop a 3D-printed waterproof housing and wiring system that kept the robot connected to its controller.
The Navy already owned the ROV. The additional materials and labor cost less than $1,000.
They tested it successfully, demonstrating a potentially affordable way to conduct underwater searches and inspections. More work remains on qualifications and integration.
We’ve got people who can figure this stuff out. Let’s give them room to do it.
