The Navy League of the United States, Long Island Council invites your participation and support of the USS MICHAEL MURPHY commissioning. 

If you have never seen a U.S. warship “brought to life” during her commissioning ceremony, you will not want to miss this historic event as the spirit of Michael Murphy reports aboard.

The naval commissioning ceremony has been a tradition of navies for centuries. The commissioning is the final and most significant event in the triad which brings a ship to life, including the keel laying, the christening and finally the commissioning. It marks entrance of a man-of-war into the naval forces of her nation.

The Long Island Council of the Navy League of the United States has established The USS MICHAEL MURPHY Commissioning Committee to raise funds and support the commissioning events on Long Island and New York City.
