America's Navy is celebrating in Mobile!
Mobile was selected as one of the 15 cities selected to host a Navy Week, one of the Navy's signature outreach programs.
Mobile Navy Week is scheduled around one of the best weekends of the year - Mardi Gras weekend! So, there will be no shortage of events and fun over the next week!
Mobile Navy Week is scheduled for February 22-28, coincident with a port visit from USS Mitscher (DDG 57) and designed to give area resident and visitors an opportunity to learn about the Navy, its people and its importance to national security and prosperity.
