The Eagle faces left on the official U.S. Navy seal because of its Heraldic design specs, and Executive Order 10736 (signed by President Eisenhower) that created it in 1957.
The design specs reads in part as follows:
" In front of the ship a Luce-type anchor inclined slightly bendwise with the crown resting on the land and, in front of the shank and in back of the dexter fluke, an American bald eagle rising to sinister regarding to dexter, one foot on the ground, the other resting on the anchor near the shank; all in proper colors"
The term "Sinister" in Heraldry is defined as "Starting from the left side from the bearer's point of view and therefore on the spectator's right"
The term "Dexter" is in Heraldry is defined as "Starting from the right side of a shield from the bearer's point of view and therefore on the spectator's left"
You can read the full spec at the link below.

Do American eagle symbols always fae left and German eagle symbols always face right?
The head on American eagle symbols traditionally face to the right (the viewer's left) to symbolize peace. As on the Presidential Seal, many American eagle symbols show the eagle clutching olive branches (peace) in the right talon and arrows (war) in the left talon. The head always faces the olive branches indicating the desire for peace. Some exceptions are made for rank, such as the US Army Colonel, where a set of eagles are worn on the collars or shoulders and the symbols are always worn with the head facing forward. This would mean one head would be facing left with the other facing right. As far as German eagle symbols, during the Third Reich period, the German eagle head faced the right (viewer's left) representing the Nazi Parteiadler (Party Eagle). Once adopted as the national symbol, the head of the "Reichsadler" (Empire Eagle)was changed to face the left.
What does the eagle appear to be staring at?
Which eagle?The Eagle on the Great Seal of the United States of America faces to its own right (the viewer's left). Since the design specifies that the olive branch is grasped by the eagle's (own) right talon, the eagle faces the olive branch (but is not exactly looking at it; as it's considerably below the eagle's line of sight).To the extent the eagle is "staring at" anything visible in the seal, it's the words "E Pluribus" on the scroll/banner held in its beak.The Presidential Seal is very similar to the Great Seal, but which direction the eagle's head is turned has varied over the years. It's NOT true that the eagle faces the arrows in wartime and the olive branch in times of peace, though the Presidential Seal was revised in 1945 and the eagle's head was turned towards the olive branch. This is not specifically because of the end of World War II, but rather because no one is quite sure why the eagle ever faced the other way in the first place unless it was simply to distinguish the Presidential Seal from the Great Seal ... heraldric animals traditionally face their own right ("dexter"); facing to their left ("sinister") is unusual.
