In this month’s From the Quarterdeck, NHHC covers Boston Sail 250, the unveiling of a new museum exhibit, a tribute to the Navy facility dog Captain Poseidon, and the story of John F. Kennedy’s heroic actions following the sinking of PT-109. These stories highlight the work being done by NHHC personnel to spread the word about our Navy’s history and heritage! Located at the Washington Navy Yard, the NHHC serves the nation by preserving, analyzing, and presenting an accurate naval history to enhance the U.S. Navy's warfighting capability. As the Navy's institutional memory and knowledge foundation, NHHC supports the Fleet with professional research, analysis, and interpretive services that reflect the Navy's enduring contributions to American history. To deliver these services, NHHC manages 10 museums with vast collections containing about 1 million historic photos, 490,000 artifacts, and 186 million pages of archival records. The command also protects lost ships and aircraft, maintains the iconic USS Constitution and Historic Ship Nautilus while educating sailors and the public on America’s rich naval history and heritage.  less
