Best Answer

According to the Naval Historical Center at the Washington Navy Yard, there is no official motto for the U.S. Navy.

"Non sibi sed patriae" (Not self but country), Paratus Et Potens ("Ready and Able"), & Semper Fortis ("Always Courageous"), are often cited as the Navy's motto. The motto of the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis is "Ex Scientia Tridens - Through Knowledge, Sea Power"

The term "Non Sibi Sed Patriae"(Not self but country) is inscribed over the entrance to the Chapel at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. For this reason it's likely that's where the belief that it's the Navy's motto originates.

What is the Latin motto of the US that is found on coins?

"E Pluribus Unum", (From Many, One). The answer of "E Pluribus Unum" is incorrect. There is NO latin motto of the USA. The Congress with agreement by the President destroyed that motto in 1956 in favor of creating a religious division of the US and made the motto "In God We Trust." "In God We Trust" is the motto, any translation into Latin does not make it the official motto, the motto is set to English.
