The Navy Memorial in Washington, DC is dedicated to all current and past members of the "sea services". The museum and Heritage Center offer historical and current overviews of the sailors' life, the tools of their trade, and the activities they have been engaged in. Around April of each year the Navy Memorial Foundation rededicates their site in a ceremony called the "Blessing of the Fleet" - in which water from the seven seas is placed in the fountain pool and the fountains are turned back on.

Members of the Naval Historical Detachment often provide interpretive displays of historical uniforms and equipment, as well as taking part in the ceremony as a representation of uniformed members through the ages.
