The United States Navy (USN), the naval warfare service branch of the United States Armed Forces, is among the seven uniformed services of the United States. Having been estimated to exceed in tonnage the next 13 navies in the world combined (including some 11 allied or partner nations) just in vessels belonging to its active battle fleet, it is the largest and most capable navy on the globe. The United States Navy has more aircraft carriers than any other nation. It has the highest combined battle fleet tonnage and the world's largest aircraft carrier fleet, with eleven in service, and two new carriers under construction. With 336,978 active-duty personnel and 101,583 in the Ready Reserve, the U.S. Navy is the third largest of the U.S. military service branches in terms of manpower. As of June 2019, it has 290 deployable combat vessels and over 3,700 operational aircraft. Therefore, it is the third-largest air force in the world, after the United States Air Force and the United States Army.
It is The Custom Sailor's Creed that is imprinted upon the back of this coin, sharing the words that unite all Navy officers, enlisted Sailors, and civilians in a bond on the high seas. By force of tradition, each new cadet must memorize The Creed and be prepared to recite it from memory within only a few short weeks following the start of their basic training. Over time, as they rise through the ranks, sailors come to understand the importance of this simple statement and truly appreciate the wisdom that has withstood the test of time.
The medallion speaks to the very heart of all that a United States Navy sailor is.
This commemorative coin is minted in a brass alloy and coated with an antique bronze finish, delivered in a package with detailed header card packaging that highlights the importance of the U.S. Navy Sailor's Creed.
