A fascinating place to visit, the National Museum of the U.S. Navy is located by the water on the U.S. Navy Yard in Washington, D.C. Displays take you from our country's beginnings in the 1700's to the present day. Ship models large and small abound, as well as portraits, other paintings, and informational videos. Please see my video on YouTube Subrina w my world

The fact I need to show my passport because I am not American sucks. Its a shame that I couldn’t enter because that. Even tho I had my Drivers License and SSN… sad

If you like battleships from the US Navy, this place has a ton of models of them! Also, take note that the visitor center is closed on weekends, so you'll have to call for an escort from the museum.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Thank you for your service.

Do they have anything in reference to where the U.S. Navy was born?

Jim Acker | Sep 29, 2021
Charles Clark | Sep 29, 2021

Yes, lots. See also a stretch of road east of the building. As you walk north you will encounter a long line of cannon captured in various campaigns.

in december is it open?

Leonora John | Sep 30, 2019
Moses Rivas | Sep 30, 2019

Yes. It is in the naval base, and the base does not close, only on the days celebrated.

I served on USS BIDDLE DLG 34 in 1972 in the gulf of Tonkin. Why does the museum not have any history of the Ships that were there. We were attacked while on station by 5 migs but you never hear anything about it.

Although the Navy Yard will only allow authorized vehicles on to the installation, an Uber could drop you off at the base's visitor center (O St. SE and 11th St. SE).
