Why Commemorate theWar of 1812 Bicentennial?

From 2012 to 2015, the United StatesNavy and its partners will commemoratethe Bicentennial of the War of 1812 andthe writing of our National Anthem, theStar Spangled Banner. It is remarkable that200 years ago, the first declared war in ournation's history was fought against the twonations which have become our closestallies. Many things change in 200 years,but what doesn't change is the importanceof sea power in the affairs of maritimenations.

Since its birth in 1776, the United Stateshas always been a maritime nation, whichmeans that unobstructed access to and free

use of the world's oceans are essential toour national welfare and prosperity. That'swhat the United States went to war in 1812to defend, and that is what the UnitedStates Navy has been protecting ever since.

Why is keeping the seasfree so important?

Here are a few facts about the world:- 70% of the world is covered by theoceans - 80% of the world's people live near theoceans - 90% of all international trade travels onthe oceans - 95% of all global communications aretransported under the oceans

That's the world America lives in today.Looking at those numbers, one begins tounderstand the immense importance ofensuring the freedom of the oceans withcapable and effective sea services. Since

America's Navy began with only sixfrigates, American sea power has beenessential to countering threats, winningwars and furthering the interests of peaceand prosperity worldwide. Today one ofthose first six frigates that 200 years agofought in the War of 1812, the USS Consti-tution, is still a commissioned ship in theUnited States Navy.

Ultimately, the commemoration of theBicentennial of the War of 1812 is a saluteto all of our Sailors and Marines whofought so gallantly against great odds inthat conflict, in all of our nation's conflictsbetween then and now, and those who aretoday defending freedom around theworld–from the mountains of Afghanistanto the coasts of Africa to the Straits ofHormuz–and standing ready to providecompassionate humanitarian aid fromHaiti to Japan to wherever catastrophestrikes. The Navy, Marine Corps andCoast Guard are what they are because ofthe quality of the people that served overthe last 200 years, and the tens of thou-sands of Sailors and Marines now makingsacrifices every day, something that Amer-ica can be very grateful has not changedover the past 200 years.

If America remembers the lessons of thenaval war of 1812, lessons paid for withthe lives of Sailors and Marines, thenAmerica can be confident that the nationwill always answer Francis Scott Key'squestion in the affirmative:

"Oh, say does that Star-Spangled Ban-ner yet wave,

O'er the land of the free, and the homeof the brave?"

Display Ship Barry

The DS (Display Ship) Barry is one ofonly three remaining Forrest Sherman-class destroyers. Commissioned September7, 1956, she is the third ship to bear thename of the illustrious Revolutionary Warnaval hero, Commodore John Barry. TheUSS Barry (DD 933) supported the 1958Marine and Army airborne unit landing inBeirut, Lebanon, and she was a member ofthe task force in 1962 that quarantinedCuba in response to evidence that Sovietmissiles had been installed on the island.

Credited with destroying over 1,000enemy structures, Barry earned two battlestars for her service during the Vietnamconflict. In the early 1970s, she was home-ported in Athens, Greece, as part of theNavy’s forward deployment program. Bar-ry was decommissioned in 1982 and beganher new career as a permanent public dis-play ship in 1984. Used for training, ship-board familiarization, and as a ceremonialplatform, the DS Barry is one of the mostpopular visitor destinations on the Wash-ington Navy Yard.

DS Barry is open for self-guided toursMonday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

DS Barry is closed every Sunday and somefederal holidays. Tour guides are availableupon request. For more information onguided tours and holiday closures pleasecall (202) 433-3377.

Latrobe Gate

What was once the main entrance to theWashington Navy Yard is now restricted toentry by residents of flag officers quartersand their authorized guests. Latrobe Gatealso garners historical distinction as theoldest, continuously manned Marine sen-try post in the nation.

The Latrobe Gate is one of the fewstructures on the Navy Yard to escape thefire in 1814 when the British invadedWashington. Prior to the invasion, Com-mandant of the Navy Yard, CaptainTingey, was ordered by the Secretary of theNavy to burn the Washington Navy Yardlest it be captured by the enemy. Enemytroops briefly entered the Yard and burnedthe buildings that had not been set on fireby the Americans. As soon as the Britishdeparted, the local populace began plun-dering not only the untouched stores butalso the two residences on the Yard. Soonafterward, Tingey strongly recommended

erecting a 10-foot-high brick wall aroundthe Yard to prevent a recurrence of thisactivity.

The Joint Committee on Landmarkshas designated the Latrobe Gate of theWashington Navy Yard a Category IILandmark, which contributes significantlyto the cultural heritage and visual beauty ofthe District of Columbia.

Navy Library

Located in Building 44 on the Washing-ton Navy Yard, the Navy Library traces itsroots to a March 31, 1800, letter fromPresident John Adams to Secretary of theNavy Benjamin Stoddert directing him toestablish a library that would contain “thebest writing…on the theory and practice ofnaval architecture, navigation, gunnery…”From that beginning, the Library’s collec-tions have grown to over 200,000 volumes

Maj. Pierre L’Enfant designed Washington D.C. in 1791. It was the first

city planned for a specific purpose. L’En-fant laid out the city around numerous cir-cles and squares connected by straightboulevards. The layout has often beendescribed as reminiscent of a series of wag-on wheels. This design, often described asbrilliant, allowed for growth; howeverL’Enfant could not have foreseen theadvent of automobiles in a nation of morethan 230 million people. Four sectionsmake up Washington, northeast, south-east, northwest and southwest. Anyaddress is always followed by an abbrevia-tion of the appropriate section of town -NE, SE, NW and SW.

Washington has one of the most comprehensive and attractive public transportation systems on the East Coast,

with Metro at the top of it all. The Metronot only connects the numerous sights in the city with each other, but the subway also branches out to parts of Virginia and Maryland. For more informa-tion regarding the Metro or to find theclosest stop to a particular sight, call 202-637-7000.
