Seabees pose with the executive desks they constructed for the Vice President and Secretary of the Navy. The desk project was initiated to deliver a desk of comparable; provenance, history, and heritage as the President’s HMS Resolute Desk. Naval History and Heritage Command, located at the Washington Navy Yard, is responsible for the preservation, analysis, and dissemination of naval history and heritage. The Naval History and Heritage Command undertook the project to create a heritage desk for both the Vice President of the United States and the Secretary of the Navy as physical reminders of the more than 200 years of Sailor honor, courage, and commitment embodied in USS Constitution, the world’s oldest commissioned warship afloat and America’s ship of state. The desks also serve as reminders that our Navy operates in the face of determined rivals and that, to preserve freedom of the seas, today’s Sailors must deliver the naval power America needs, just as their shipmates have since 1775.
