About this ebook
Details the history and accomplishments of one of the world's most fascinating technology centers. The story begins at the first experimental model basin set up by Captain David Taylor at the Washington Navy Yard in 1898. Just before World War II, a larger facility with a mile-long towing basin, named in honor of Taylor, opened in Carderock, Maryland. The historical narrative takes readers from the origin of the David Taylor Research Center through its reorganizations, and its success in modernizing the fleet through scientific and technological innovations.
