And we're honored to be joined today by service members representing every part of this great naval tradition.

Our incredible surface warriors are the reason America's enemies tremble at the sight of a Navy ship, haze gray or underway,

The insinuous carrier, cruiser, or destroyer breaks across the horizon.

Every tyrant and adversary on the planet knows their choice is very simple.

It's leave America in peace or be blown up in fire and fury never seen before.

All over the world, people know of the skill, nerve, swagger, and sheer attitude of the boldest and most daring pilots on the sea, the U.S.

Naval Aviators.

And I just got to witness it with Melania.

They land screaming jets on pitching decks in the dark of night with no room for error.

There's no room for error.

The greatest pilots in the world.

And while Navy pilots rain down pain from above, the greatest adversaries fear the daring deeds of our silent service below.

They prowl and strike from crushing depths, unseen, undetected, and unstoppable.

They are our brave submariners.

Where are the submariners?

And they are brave.

The most lethal weapon in the world, I will tell you.

Nobody knows where it is and what it carries.

There's nothing that carries weaponry like that.

And we're 25 years ahead of any other country when it comes to submarines.
