"Since the early days of the republic, Americans have relied on a strong Navy and Marine Corps team to defend them against their enemies. Nothing can play so decisive a role as well-trained, highly motivated Sailors and Marines who believe in their mission." The Honorable Donald C. Winter, Secretary of the Navy
Statement of Policy:
- We of the Navy League of the United States stand for a strong America - a nation morally, economically, and internally strong.
- We believe that the security of our nation and of the people of the world demands a well-balanced, integrated, mobile American defense team, of which a strong Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and Merchant Marine are indispensable parts.
- We support all Armed Services to the end that each may make its appropriate contribution to the national security.
- We know that in a free nation an informed public is indispensable to national security and, therefore, we will strive to keep the nation alert to the dangers which threaten - both from without and within.
- We favor appropriations for each of the Armed Services, adequate for national security, economically administered.
- We oppose any usurpation of the Congress's constitutional authority over the Armed Services.
- We urge that our country maintain world leadership in scientific research and development.
- We support industrial preparedness, planning, production.
- We support efforts of our government to achieve worldwide peace through international cooperation.
- We advocate a foreign policy which will avoid wars - if possible; if not, win them!
