181013-N-SF508-0626 HONOLULU (Oct. 13, 2018) Sailors, families and guests learn to hula dance during the Navy Region Hawaii 243rd Navy Birthday Ball in Honolulu, Hawaii. The theme for the Navy's 243rd birthday is "Forged by the Sea." The theme represents the aspirational outcome of every Sailor's journey in uniform and conveys the notion that every Sailor is shaped and strengthened into a more capable version of themselves through Navy service.
