This page is a series of links to stories about the United States Navy, Coast Guard, and Merchant Marine. The U.S. Navy includes all units of the U.S. Navy including civilian employees, ROTC, Naval Reserve and Naval Aviation Stories. As submitted and until submissions warrant separate listing, foreign service will be included here as well.

The Stories below are broken down into anecdotes, biographies and photographs. Anecdotes are brief accounts of personal, humorous or historic interest. Personal histories often contain stories as well. All may contain contact information for the veteran or the party providing the story. If any are provided, jokes or songs will be provided as well.
