Freedom of the Seas Awards Dinner 2025

This year, we are proud to commemorate a milestone in naval history – the 250th Anniversary of the Surface Navy. For two and a half centuries, the Surface Navy has stood as a pillar of strength, innovation, and peace in the world’s oceans. During this event, we will reflect on the rich legacy of our surface forces, paying tribute to the brave men and women who have served with valor, while also looking ahead to the future of maritime excellence.

The dinner will feature inspiring keynote speakers, the presentation of awards, and a celebration of the enduring values of leadership, innovation, and service that have defined the Surface Navy. Capping off the evening festivities will be the official grand opening of the National Museum of the Surface Navy.

Awardees and more event information to be announced soon.
