US Navy

The US Navy is the naval warfare service branch of the United States Armed Forces, responsible for maintaining and operating the nation's sea-based military assets, including ships, submarines, and aircraft.

Why it’s in the news: It is in the news due to major new contracts for drone and fighter jet development, a multi-billion dollar shipyard project, and the launch of a new drone command with strategic implications.
