Vice Adm. Doug Perry, commander, U.S. 2nd Fleet, speaks to members of the United States Merchant Marine Academy’s Class of 2024 in Kings Point, NY, May 22, 2024. “National Maritime Day holds great meaning, for we honor the extraordinary contributions and sacrifices of our merchant mariners, those heroes often unsung who keep our maritime operations robust and resilient,” Perry said. The event commemorates National Maritime Day, first proclaimed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1943 to honor the first successful transoceanic crossing by a vessel under steam propulsion, the SS Savannah.(U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Clay Whaley)
