Founded in Philadelphia on October 13, 1775, the US Navy has been protecting and providing maritime support ever sense. "Non sibi sed patriae" (Not self but country) is the unofficial slogan of the US Navy. The mission of the Navy is to maintain, train and equip combat-ready naval forces capable of winning wars, deterring aggression and maintaining freedom of the seas and we here at Old School Tees appreciate all of the men and women who have dedicated their lives to making this happen.
