181012-N-FG909-000 NOFROLK (Oct. 12, 2018) Capt. Mark Kesselring, commanding officer of enlisted personnel of U.S. Fleet Forces Command, addresses participants during a ceremony celebrating the Navy’s 243rd birthday onboard Naval Support Activity Hampton Roads. The theme for the Navy’s 243rd birthday is “Forged by the Sea,” which represents the aspirational outcome of every Sailor’s journey in uniform and communicates the notion that every Sailor is shaped and strengthened into a more capable version of themselves through Navy service.
