Tampa Bay gets introduced to the Navy

You might have heard that the U.S. Navy was in the Tampa Bay area two weeks ago for more than 100 community outreach events comprising Navy Week.

The idea was for residents to be introduced to many different aspects of the Navy, such as the Explosive Ordnance Disposal group’s technicians, sailors from the USS Constitution (the world’s oldest active warship afloat) and the Navy’s parachute team, the Leap Frogs.

Since 2005, Navy Week has served as the Navy’s outreach to areas of the country without a significant Navy presence. On average, Navy Weeks reach 150 million Americans a year.
