Das United States Department of the Navy (DON; deutsch Marineamt bzw. früher Marineministerium der Vereinigten Staaten) wurde durch ein Bundesgesetz am 30. April 1798 geschaffen, um für die zivile Verwaltung der US Navy und des US Marine Corps zu sorgen. Das Marineamt wird durch den Marinestaatssekretär, den Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV), geführt. Das Department of the Navy hatte bis 1947 Kabinettsrang, wurde jedoch dann im Zuge des National Security Act zusammen mit dem aus dem Kriegsministerium hervorgegangenen Department of the Army dem National Military Establishment als Vorgänger des Department of Defense (Verteidigungsministerium) untergeordnet.

Höchster militärischer Kommandeur ist der Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) für die US Navy und der Commandant (CMC) für das US Marine Corps. Beide sind nicht dem Secretary of the Navy, sondern dem Vorsitzenden der Vereinigten Stabschefs unterstellt (Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff).

Auftrag

Heute ist das Marineministerium für die Anwerbung zivilen und militärischen Personal und für die Organisation, Beschaffung, Ausrüstung, Ausbildung und Mobilmachung der Marine und ihres Personals und Materials verantwortlich. Das Ministerium kontrolliert auch den Bau, die Erneuerung und die Reparatur aller zur Marine gehörenden Schiffe, Flugzeuge, Werkzeuge und Anlagen.

  • In the center is a Roman cuirass below a vertical unsheathed sword, point up, the pommel resting on the neck opening of the cuirass and a Phrygian cap supported on the sword point, all between on the right an esponton and on the left a musket with fixed bayonet crossed in saltire behind the cuirass and passing under the sword guard.
  • To the right of the cuirass and esponton is a flag of unidentified designs with cords and tassels, on a flagstaff with spearhead, above a cannon barrel, the muzzle end slanting upward behind the cuirass, in front of the drum, with two drumsticks and the fly end of the flag draped over the drumhead; below, but partly in front of the cannon barrel, is a pile of three cannon balls.
  • To the left of the cuirass and musket is a national color of the Revolutionary War period, with cords and tassels, on a flagstaff with spearhead, similarly arranged above a mortar on a carriage, the mortar facing inward and in front of the lower portion of the color and obscuring the lower part of it; below the mortar are two bomb shells placed side by side.
  • Centered above the Phrygian cap is a rattlesnake holding in its mouth a scroll inscribed "This We'll Defend."
  • Centered below the cuirass are the Roman numerals "MDCCLXXVIII."

Flag of the United States Secretary of the Navy.svg
Flag of the United States Secretary of the Navy. It dates from at least 1865, and the version with four stars since at least 1867, remaining mostly unchanged since (though the anchor has gradually gotten bigger and been redesigned a bit). It is defined in naval regulations, document NTP 13(B) [1] section 1806, as:
The flag of the Secretary of the Navy shall consist of a rectangular blue field with a fouled white anchor in the center. Four white stars flank the anchor, two on each side, all with one point of each star upward. A gold fringe is authorized for use on the flag when it is displayed in a static, indoor position. The cord and tassels are of golden yellow.
