	Navy Day - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Peru, Navy Day is a national holiday celebrated on October 8 in commemoration of the Battle of Angamos in 1879 and the anniversary of Peruvian Navy creation in 1821.
		In the United States, the Navy League of the United States organized the first Navy Day in 1922, holding it on October 27 because it was the birthday of the Navy-supporting President Theodore Roosevelt.
		Navy Day continues to be celebrated as of 2004.

	Historical Perspective
		The success of the 1922 Navy Day celebration--originally planned as a one-time event to "rally the troops"--led the NLUS board of directors to institutionalize it as an annual national day on which to garner public support for the Navy throughout the nation.
		The Navy League itself was revitalized, and Navy Day became a hardy perennial on the nation's calendars as an annual day of recognition for the naval service.
		The 1945 Navy Day celebration was a particularly memorable one, coinciding as it did with the return to CONUS (the continental United States) of literally hundreds of ships bedecked with campaign ribbons for their WWII service overseas.
