This collection of photographs is being curated as a third tier collection as an aid to enhance the National Museum of U.S. Navy. Some of the photos may need further research. We invite all also to browse and look at the wide-range of photography stored at the National Archives, the Library of Congress, DVIC, and DIMOC, and the Naval History and Heritage Command.
