WASHINGTON NAVY YARD (Oct. 13, 2021) Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC) Director Samuel J. Cox, U.S. Navy rear admiral (retired), presents a sword to Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro at the National Museum of the U.S. Navy (NMUSN) during an event celebrating the Navy�s 246th birthday. During the ceremony, Del Toro thanked the Navy Museum Development Foundation for its kind offer to lead a national campaign to raise funds for the future NMUSN. The intended location for the new NMUSN is outside the Washington Navy Yard�s security perimeter, which will give the public unrestricted access to U.S. Navy history and heritage.
