Navy Weeks are designed to tell the Navy’s story: what we do, why it is important and what opportunities exist in today’s Navy. These events consist of community visits by Admirals and Sailors with namesake
and hometown connections.

Navy Week events can include Blue Angels, Leap Frogs and Navy Band performances,
EOD dive tanks, flight simulators, and SEAL Fitness Challenges all intended to give the public a personal look at the men and women of the Navy serving throughout the world in different roles.
