The Navy Museum collects, preserves, displays and interprets historic naval artifacts and artwork to inform, educate and inspire naval personnel and the general public. The Navy Museum was established in 1961 and opened to the public in 1963. As one of 14 Navy museums throughout the country, it is the only one that presents an overview of U.S. Naval history. Permanent and temporary exhibitions commemorate the Navy's wartime heroes and battles as well as its peacetime contributions in exploration, diplomacy, space flight, navigation and humanitarian service.[ Last Updated: 01-May-2011 | Hits: 108 | Reader Comments Report Problem
