Washington Navy Yard, District of Columbia

Washington Navy Yard is one of the oldest Naval shipyards in the country, established in 1799, and was Washington’s first industrial neighborhood. It is primarily a historic, ceremonial and administrative headquarters for the navy today.  Within its gated and densely built up campus of administrative and engineering buildings, is the headquarters for several Naval Commands including the Naval Sea Systems Command, the Chief of Naval Operations, Department of Naval History, Naval Reactors, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, the Navy Band, and offices of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. Few, if any, vessels are berthed at its two docks.
