In honor of the 250th anniversary of the nation and the U.S. Navy, NHHC announces the online publication of America’s Navy at 250: The Historic Collections of Naval History and Heritage Command.
The story of the Navy and the story of the U.S. have been connected since the beginning, when the Continental Navy's brave actions overcame overwhelming odds to defeat the British fleet.
This 3 July 1898 naval engagement during the Spanish-American War ensured victory in the Cuban theater and secured Cuba's independence from Spanish rule.
