Thanks for posting this--even though I went Air Force, this song brings back great memories of my dad who was an Annapolis grad, class of '34. He served first on the Memphis, a WWI four-stack destroyer, then later on the Portland, the sister ship of the heavy cruiser Indianapolis sunk by a Japanese submarine at the close of WWII.
Retired from the Navy after 24 yrs of service. Been to the Coast Guard Academy, Military Academy and Air Force Academy but never to the Naval Academy. I don't know why but I have to go there one day
I love Anchors Aweigh. Our National anthem is one of two national anthem that talks about a war or a battle.I love the Navy and all I have to say is Semper Fortis my friends!

Guys you got your own tune - you should stick with it! You got a better national anthem or do you want to copy 'God save the Queen'....oh you copied that too didn't you?
My brother served in the Navy during WWII mostly in the South Pacific theater. He is 22 years older then I am, but I have always respected him for his service in the Navy. I was unable to serve for physical reasons. Additionally we lost a second cousin who was commander of a submarine lost off of Palau. These navy videos give me a real thrill, Go Navy
four uncles one grandfather for life and my father served US Navy all the way back I am physically disqualified for active service no wonder the guys who were 4-F in WWII killed themselves GO US NAVY!!!
Oh how i wish i could have gone to a naval academy.....

No they are enlisted musicians with an officer leader. The Midshipmen have a Drum & Bugle Corp. which plays at football games.

@theintelligent1973 Troll much? I hope you understand my comment has nothing to do with fighting a war. My comment was a quote from a TV cartoon.

I'm not convinced "Anchors Aweigh" does the US Navy justice.
Perhaps they should adopt "Heart of Oak"

I know that but you used the tune from our National Anthem for God Bless America!
Look, I thought that Anchors Away is a good tune, so is your Anthem....I was just saying stick with them.
