As one of the nation’s premier shipbuilding and repair regions in the world, the Greater Philadelphia region has built many ships for the United States Navy. From the early days of the Continental Navy during the American Revolution to the nuclear-powered warships of the Cold War, these facilities were a critical component of the Navy’s operations in defending America and its allies abroad. This exhibit showcases some of these ships, the people that helped build them, and their role in defending America.
This exhibit is curated by the National Museum of the United States Navy.
And Let Victory Tell the Rest is part of Homecoming250, a citywide celebration of this historic anniversary in Philadelphia.
