Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Adm. Jonathan Greenert holds a plate for the Honorable Paul Ignatius, former Secretary of the Navy (1967-1969) as he cuts a piece of birthday cake for a junior Sailor from the USS Constitution at a Navy Birthday Ball honoring the Navy's 237th Anniversary. Navy tradition dictates the youngest and oldest or most senior ranked Sailor at the Navy Ball cut and eat the first pieces of cake. U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Peter D.
