AI Summary

This resolution recognizes the United States Navy's 250th birthday, commemorating its origins on October 13, 1775, when the Continental Congress voted to outfit two sailing vessels to intercept British supply ships during the Revolutionary War. The resolution highlights the Navy's enduring legacy of defending American freedoms, values, and interests, noting that over 330,000 active duty sailors currently serve according to the core values of honor, courage, and commitment. It specifically acknowledges Wisconsin's contributions to naval strength, including its shipbuilding history and production of naval vessels like the Freedom-class littoral combat ship and Constellation-class guided-missile frigate. The resolution also points out that at least 30 U.S. Navy ships have been named after Wisconsin and its communities, and it pays special tribute to the two battleships named USS Wisconsin, which served in global conflicts. Ultimately, the resolution celebrates the Navy's 250-year history of service, recognizing the sacrifices and dedication of sailors past and present who have protected the nation with unwavering courage.
