"Anchors Aweigh" was written in 1906 by Charles A. Zimmermann, with lyrics by Alfred Hart Miles, to serve as a fight song for the United States Naval Academy. It was designed to inspire and motivate midshipmen as they embarked on their naval careers and to foster a sense of pride and camaraderie among them. The song has since become an enduring anthem of the Navy, symbolizing the spirit of naval tradition and adventure.
