Staff members from the Curator of Navy Ship Models, within the Office of the Curator of Models at the Naval Surface Warfare Center’s Carderock Division in Bethesda, Maryland work on a detailed model of the USS Newport News (CA-148). The model was transported to the Hampton Roads Naval Museum, and was lifted into place by a contingent of sailors assigned to the Ticonderoga-Class Guided Missile Cruiser USS Gettysburg (CG-64). The model, along with other artifacts, dioramas, graphics panels and interactive displays, is part of the museum’s new exhibit “The Ten Thousand Day War at Sea: the US Navy in Vietnam, 1950-1975”. The new exhibit will encompass over 4,700 square feet of their gallery, and is scheduled to open to on October 9, 2019. (US Navy Photo by Clay Farrington/Released).
