Leaders to Sea provides influential community leaders, business executives, political leaders, media executives, educators, and other centers of influence with insight into the daily operations of a Navy ship at sea. Some will be local, regional, and national - it varies from small business owners to CEOs of Fortune 500 companies.
 
The intent of Leaders to Sea is to introduce civilians with no Navy background to experience what it's like to live and work at sea, acquaint them with Naval ship capabilities, and show off the ship and crew.
 
Our goal is that our guests walk away knowing about the Surface Force, understand how their tax dollars are spent, and let them see that Sailors are smart, engaging, and hard-working professionals that would be an asset to the workforce at their respective organizations. Dedicated to ensuring each ship fulfills its mission, they are prepared to go into harm’s way, they are properly trained, and ready to carry out our orders in defense of our nation’s freedom; and have the opportunity to interact with diverse cultures while serving as ambassadors around the world. Our nation’s best and brightest make up the Sailors on duty in our Navy around the world today.
 
We ask our guests to share their experiences and what they took away from Leaders to Sea with others who may be interested in learning more about the Surface Navy.
