About the Navy's Web Site

This is the World Wide Web site for official information about the United States Navy. It is provided as a public service by the Navy's Office of Information, Washington, D.C., in cooperation with the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Charleston, Pensacola Office, Pensacola, Fla. The purpose of this Web site is to provide information and news about the United States Navy to the Navy community, the citizens of the United States, and the media. All information on this site is considered public information and may be distributed or copied. Use of appropriate byline/photo/image credits is requested.

There is a wealth of information in the Navy's Web site and much is updated as frequently as daily. A comprehensive alphabetical Index of the web site has been created to allow you to find information quickly and easily.

A What's New page advises of new items as they are added.

Our purpose is to provide you as much information as possible and in a user-friendly way. We also want to be as responsive as we can be, but please remember, the staff is extremely small and your help is needed. If you have questions or comments, please follow these steps:

Please check "Answers to frequently asked questions about the U.S. Navy" page first.
If your question and the answer aren't there, try the Index pages.
If you still can't find the answer, then send your question via our Feedback page. We would appreciate having you sign your name so we can reply to you personally.

If you have comments about the web site, please send your comments to us via our Feedback page. Again, please provide us with your name. Please note: This web site does not replace the chain-of-command nor is it appropriate to solicit Navy business through the site. In the latter case, please see "Doing Business with the Navy" in the Index.
