Naval Review

Encyclopedia : N : NA : NAV : Naval Review

This page describes reviews of the US Fleet. For Fleet Reviews of the Royal Navy, see Fleet Review, Royal Navy, or for reviews of other national navies, see Review (disambiguation). For the magazine 'Naval Review', see Naval Review (magazine).

A Naval Review is an event, where the whole (or a very large part) of the US Navy is paraded to be reviewed by the president or the Secretary of the Navy. It often includes delegates from other national navies. It is more regular and frequent than its British equivalent, the Fleet Review, and often occurs on a Navy Day.

To expand this see 'what links here' page - each ship listed was in attendance at 1 or more reviews, and can be used to expand this page.

Following is a list, by president. (Each was reviewed by the president, unless otherwise noted)
