Historical:
The David Taylor Model Basin (DTMB) was conceived, designed, and built from 1937-1939 by the United States Navy for building and testing ship models in accordance with the most modern and accurate methods.

The facility was named after David Watson Taylor (1864-1940), a naval architect, rear admiral and the chief of the Bureau of Construction and Repair for the Navy. Taylor oversaw the design and construction of naval aircraft and ships. Taylor conceived of and designed the Washington Navy Yard's Experimental Model Basin (EMB) in 1896. By the 1930s, the EMB had become inadequate for research, and a new research facility--David Taylor Model Basin--was built in West Bethesda, Maryland. It is now known as the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC)
