I was reading about Endicott Period fortifications, (I know, not ACW, Mea Culpa - but ACW era forts received Endicott upgrades ), and stumbled onto a Fort Worden...Worden...wasn't that the dude...Yeap, named after the commander of the USS Monitor and later to be a Rear Admiral. The fort was operational from 1902 to 1953.
Can anyone think of ANY other Army installation named after a Navy guy?
Cheers,
