Transcription: The base of the United States Navy Memorial is a granite map of the world, 100 feet in diameter. It emphasizes the fact that there's far more water than land on the Earth's surface, a far greater area for the Navy to deal with. The memorial features a statue of the lone sailor. This is a realistic and classic figure of an American Navy man in a pea coat, his sea bag nearby, facing into the wind.
