The U.S. Naval Institute was founded in 1873, when Rear Admiral John L. Worden gathered a group of 15 like-minded naval officers who met at the U.S. Naval Academy to discuss the future of the U.S. Navy in the aftermath of the American Civil War. Since then, the naval profession has benefitted from this rich legacy of consequential writing. Add your voice to the “intellectual heart of the Sea Services” by joining today.
