Between the years 1964 and 1973, 3,403,000 Americans deployed to Southeast Asia. Among them, more than 1.8 million served as Sailors. National Vietnam War Veterans Day is an American holiday observed annually on March 29. It recognizes veterans who served in the U.S. military during the Vietnam War. So, this Sunday, let us say Thank You to those who served during this conflict. #NavyVietnamWarVet #ThankYou
What does it take to move the "Fat Man"?
What does it take to move the "Fat Man"? Well, it takes the whole staff along with some help of riggers! The move had to be made as we build out a new exhibit in the Cold War Gallery on the Navy in the Nuclear Age. The "Fat Man" style atomic bomb will be one of the focal points in this exhibit!

Of this Navy tradition, did you hear?
When a deck log went verse to ring in the year.
In the spirit of that rare official flair,
We at the Navy Museum would like to share
The events of this year that make us proud,
Like the combat art show that drew a great crowd.
Or the Nat’s trophy displayed in December
And the three score Honor Flights—Always Remember!
In year twenty-twenty, you must come and see
Our newly designed Cold War Gallery.
We’re grateful for the support from all of you,
Have a wonderful New Year on land and blue!
Exciting things coming soon...
We are working speedily to open an anniversary exhibit in January....do you know what Navy anniversary is coming soon? Watch closely and maybe you can tell...
Come celebrate with us in 2020!
The United States Navy Band Sea Chanters bringing their classic songs to vibrant life. #nmusn #navyhistory #usnavyband #navymuseum #seachanters
Sound on❗️
Exhibit specialist Criis uses our brand new panel saw to cut...wait for it...panels! They are for a new exhibit on the Navy in the nuclear age. At over 100 decibels, the panel saw can cause serious hearing loss if the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) is not worn. Like a pro, Criis wear her earmuffs, goggles, and closed-toe shoes to stay safe in the workshop.
