WEST BETHESDA, Maryland -- This week’s 15th International Human Submarine Races (ISR), held at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, has welcomed teams from all over the world, and here to remind them “where the fleet began” is the Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC).
Featured at NHHC’s table were posters and displays all detailing the history of the Navy, as well as a 3D printed model of a future submarine, which was created by Carderock’s Curator of Ship Models with the help of the Model Fabrication Shop.
Eric Ritter, the public relations outreach specialist at NHHC, said the command’s objective is to show the ISR participants how far the Navy has come and where it is headed.
“The NHHC is a group of collaborative minds scientifically informing engineering marvels that will be today’s Navy, as well as future Navy,” Ritter said.
The NHHC handed out various pieces of literature showcasing important pieces of naval history, and they encouraged their visitors to utilize the vast realm of historical information at their disposal courtesy of the command.
