Navy Day (Israel)

In Israel, Navy Day (יום חיל הים) is celebrated on June 30.

Traditionally, Navy Day is preceded by Memorial Evening.

In 1993 Admiral Ami Ayalon decided to hold the Israel Navy day in the last week of October,[1] commemorating victories in several wars: Memorial Evening was rescheduled as well, marking the loss of destroyer INS Eilat on 21/10/1967.

As of 2009 the celebrations have been elongated for a week, which for practical reasons, are held each year in August.
