Photos: Birthday of U.S. Navy celebrated aboard USNS Able

A celebration of the 244th birthday of the U.S. Navy was held October 13 aboard the USNS Able. The theme of the Navy's birthday for 2019 was "No Higher Honor," the motto of the USS Samuel B. Roberts. Each member of the USNS Able's military crew was presented with a ship's certificate and a written note welcoming them aboard and wishing the U.S. Navy a happy 244th birthday. Following the presentation, the cake prepared by Steward Will Moran was cut and all of the military crew gathered for a photo with a few members of the USNS Able crew. The ceremony was open to all hands and a large number of the crew and personnel onboard attended the celebration.
