Naval Toasts of the Day
In
the navy there is a toast for each day of the week. Normally these
toasts are used at special occasions and mess dinners, but they
may be used at any time.
Most
recently the toasts were changed to better reflect the current "Navy".
The "current toasts" listed in the blue column are the
toasts that are authorized for use in todays navy.
