232nd Anniversary of the Navy Chaplain Corps


On 28 November 1775, the Navy Chaplain Corps was established. The Chaplain Corps was established 18 days after the Marine Corps. Urban legend has said it took the Continental Congress only 18 days to realize that the Marine Corps, having been founded in Tun Tavern, needed a Spiritual compass and thus the Chaplain Corps. The Chaplain Corps is the 2nd oldest Corps in the Department of the Navy. Navy Chaplains proudly serve: Sailors, Marines, Coast Guardsmen, and Merchant Marines around the globe.
