1976 Navy Recruitment Advertisement
This ad reads in part: Twenty years ago, Blacks made up less that five percent of the Navy. Almost all were in the lower ranks, black chiefs were rarities, black officers virtually nonexistant.
Things have changes a lot since that generation. Today there are black petty officers in every specialty from advanced electronics to nuclear propulsion, black captains commanding ships and shore installations, black admirals making policy decisions at high executive levels. It’s a different Navy, and a better one.
