We are a citizen-led military support organization founded in 1902 to support the sea services — U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Coast Guard and U.S.-flag Merchant Marine. The New York Council was the first council established and is now one of the largest and most active of the Navy League of the United States councils. Many New Yorkers and Sailors know us as one of the founders of Fleet Week New York.

It’s that time of year again! Join us in welcoming the sea services to NYC and thanks to HII for their generous sponsorship of our Fleet Week events.

Here’s a fond look back at last year’s commissioning of USS Cooperstown. Video courtesy: MLB Network
