Reference:
The first Navy Day was celebrated in the United States in 1922 by the Navy League of the United States on October 27, the birthday of the 26th President Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919, 1901-1909), a naval enthusiast and advocate of sea power who served as Assistant Secretary of the Navy shortly before the Spanish-American War of 1898. Over 50 major cities took part in 1923, despite the first year's mixed reception. The US Navy sent many of its ships to different port towns for the event. During the massive celebration of 1945 Navy Day, 33rd President Harry S. Truman (1884–1972, 1945–1953) inspected the American fleet's return home in New York Harbor following its victory in World War II.
In 1949, Louis A. Johnson (1891–1966), who served as the second Secretary of the newly merged and created Department of Defense from 1949 to 1950, directed that the US Navy's participation occur on the newly established Armed Forces Day for the unified/coordinated uniformed services in May. Although, as a private civilian organization, the Navy League was not affected by this directive and continued to organize separate Navy Day celebrations as before. In the 1970s, historical research found that the "birthday" of the earlier Continental Navy during the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783) was determined to be October 13, 1775, and Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Elmo R. Zumwalt worked with the Navy League to define October 13 as the new date of Navy Day. However, Navy Day in the United States is still widely recognized as October 27.
Note:
Of the three Midway-class aircraft carriers, the second was the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt (CVB/CVA/CV-42). It was referred to by its crew as "Swanky Franky," "Foo-De-Roo," or "Rosie," with the latter being the most often used nickname. As a member of the US Sixth Fleet, Roosevelt operated in the Mediterranean Sea for the majority of its active deployed career. The ship was demolished soon after it was decommissioned in 1977. In honor of a US president, it was the first aircraft carrier in the US Navy to bear that name.
On October 27, 1945, Navy Day, the USS Roosevelt was put into service at the New York Naval Shipyard. Roosevelt was the first American carrier to fly an all-jet aircraft under controlled conditions on July 21, 1946. Roosevelt served a second tour of service with the U.S. Naval Forces, Mediterranean, from September 1948 to January 1949. Roosevelt was the first carrier to transport nuclear bombs to sea in 1950. The carrier participated in Operation Mainbrace, the first significant NATO exercise in the North Atlantic, in September and October 1952.
