WELCOME
In 1943 a sailor serving aboard the aircraft carrier Hornet (CV 12) wrote home to his parents, saying "wherever we go, [we] will be part of America." Indeed, the Navy's story is the nation's story and every Navy story has a history. The Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC) preserves those stories and interprets that history.
Whether you visit one of the twelve official US Navy Museums, take advantage of public programs and publications, or seek knowledge through the artifacts, documents, images and artwork available at the NHHC, you will find that this is where the history, legacy and traditions of the United States Navy come alive.
