Customs and Traditions
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.
