Serving our customer, the U.S. Navy, means carrying forward a legacy of courage, commitment, and quiet heroism. As we mark the 25th anniversary of Patriot Day, we are reminded that true bravery isn’t only found on distant shores—it's found right here in our own backyard.

The passengers and crew of Flight 93 showed the world what it means to act with extraordinary courage in an ordinary moment. Their selflessness continues to inspire all of us to stand for something larger than ourselves.

Today, we honor the lives lost, the heroes who stepped forward, and spirit of unity that strengthen our nation.

Perhaps the most exciting and enriching experience for the at BPMI is the opportunity to get up close and personal with some of the ships we support during a shipyard tour at Newport News Shipbuilding. Here, they explore submarines, aircraft carriers, and servicing facilities, getting a first-hand look that broadens their professional perspective. Many interns walk away from the tour with a deeper connection to the BPMI mission and an even stronger appreciation for the U.S. Navy.

What’s it really like to travel and adventure while serving on a Navy ship?

Imagine working under the Mediterranean sun, sailing across the South Pacific, or making port calls in incredible places—even the North Pole. For Sailors on Navy ships, from nuclear aircraft carriers to submarines, adventure isn’t the exception…it’s the everyday.

With homeports across the U.S., like San Diego (home of USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT), and forward deployed locations like Yokosuka, Japan (home of USS GEORGE WASHINGTON), Sailors get a front row seat to the world. Whether on duty or exploring during downtime, there’s always something new to see—and someone new to meet.

Serving in the Navy means experiencing the world from a perspective few ever get. 🌍⚓

Former Secretary of the Navy John Sullivan passed away 44 years ago on August 8, 1982 — and his legacy is a major chapter in the story of the Nuclear Navy.

Many know Admiral Hyman Rickover as the “Father of the Nuclear Navy,” but Rickover himself credited Sullivan as the “True Father of the Nuclear Navy.”

Here’s why:
In 1947, then Captain Rickover took the unprecedented step of pitching the idea of a nuclear powered submarine directly to Chief of Naval Operations, Chester W. Nimitz. Nimitz backed the bold proposal and brought it to Secretary of the Navy John Sullivan, who took the politically risky leap to authorize the pioneering research and development.

Seven years later, in January 1955, the USS Nautilus sent its iconic message: “Underway on Nuclear Power.” The world’s first nuclear powered vessel had arrived.

Sullivan’s support helped launch the nuclear fleet we rely on today, a fleet of submarines and aircraft carriers that safeguard our nation and that BPMI is proud to support.

Events like this support employee wellbeing, encourage team bonding, and reinforce the spirit of our One Team working together toward our Mission.

Did you know U.S. Navy ships fly a whole collection of flags—each with its own purpose and tradition?

The most important is the U.S. flag, proudly flown at the stern while in port and from the mast when underway. Up front on the bow, you’ll find the Navy Jack: today a blue field with 50 stars, but originally a 13 star design dating back to 1777.

Personal flags mark the presence of senior leaders onboard—from high ranking Naval officers to the Secretary of the Navy and even the President. Command pennants signal which officers are leading forces, groups, squadrons, or divisions.

Commissioned Navy ships also display a commissioning pennant—long red and white stripes with a blue field and seven stars—symbolizing their active status.

For communication at sea, ships use a full set of standard signal flags: alphabet flags, numeral pennants, substitutes, and a code answering pennant.

And on special ceremonial days? Every flag is raised in a colorful bow to stern display known as full dress—one of the most striking sights in naval tradition.

BPMI is proud to support the Sailors and ships of the U.S. nuclear Navy.
