According to their website, the Navy JAG facilities are at the Washington
Navy Yard, but a show that I did not mention, E-Ring, was set at The
Pentagon in VA.

Dear Clifford:

Don't forget the recent stream of novels, movies (and TV series) on Cold
War/national security/crime themes, beginning (at least) with Tom Clancy's
The Hunt for Red October(1984) .   As I recall, it was partially set at
Atlantic Fleet HQ in Norfolk.  See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hunt_for_Red_October

Novels, movies, and TV shows  dealing with the CIA may be partially set at
HQ in Langley, and possibly the training base -- "The Farm" -- at Camp
Peary.     Ditto for the FBI at Quantico.   Recent/current TV shows include
The Agency (CIA), The X-Files (FBI), and  Criminal Minds (FBI).
