Description

This 2.5-ounce silver matte-finish medal from the Philadelphia Mint honors the United States Navy, which has been the primary instrument of American sea power since its establishment in 1794. The Navy has grown from a handful of frigates to the most powerful naval force in world history, operating aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines, guided-missile cruisers, and a vast logistics fleet that projects American power across every ocean. The 2.5-ounce silver format represents the premium tier of the Armed Forces Medal Program, combining substantial precious metal content with the matte finish that characterizes this series. The Navy's role in American history — from the Barbary Wars through two World Wars, the Cold War, and the War on Terror — has been documented in thousands of medals, tokens, and commemorative items. This U.S. Mint medal represents the official twenty-first century tribute to the Navy's continuing service, suitable for presentation to distinguished naval personnel or display in collection.
