International Naval Review

  • Description
    On June 12, 1957, the US hosted an International Naval Review that coincided with the 350th anniversary of the founding of the Jamestown colony. Naval reviews are special events in which the US Navy presents its ships to the US president or secretary of the Navy. US ships are often accompanied by ships from other nations in international reviews. The first International Naval Review in the US was held in 1893 as part of the Columbian Exposition. In that review, President Grover Cleveland reviewed naval ships from the USS Dolphin.
