Talk:United States Navy Memorial

Other "Navy Memorial" in D.C.?
While starting the article Lyndon Baines Johnson Memorial Grove on the Potomac, I noticed that nearby is the "Navy and Marine Memorial" on "Navy-Marine Memorial" (map links: 38.87611°N, -77.04722°W, particulary TopoZone) -- they are both on Columbia Island (District of Columbia). It is not the USMC War Memorial ("Iwo Jima Memorial"). Does anyone know the history behind this other Navy memorial? Is it connected in any way with the Penn. Ave. memorial? Perhaps a section could be added here -- or maybe under the George Washington Memorial Parkway, of which it might be a part. &mdash;  Eoghanacht  talk 00:51, 15 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I looked into it, and the Navy and Marine Memorial, also called the "Coast Guard monument", was dedicated in 1934 and memorializes those who lost their lives at sea, as well as those still in service. Specifically, it's for the USCG and Merchant Marine, but the USN and USMC seem to be included as well.&#160;—  The KMan  talk  01:36, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Too many "other Navy memorials"
IMHO many of the "other Navy memorials" aren't Navy memorials at all, and shouldn't be included in this article. Specific entries in this class are John Ericsson National Memorial, World War II Submarine Torpedo monument, Ensign C. Markland Kelly, Jr. Award, Lt. Donald McLaughlin Jr. Award, and Lt. Hans Grauert Memorial Field. There may be more. I plan to remove the cited ones after a reasonable time for comment. Lou Sander (talk) 12:44, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Remove "Naval Heritage Center" in the intro?
The section of the intro about the Naval Heritage Center reads like an advertisement. Should it be removed?
