Mill Creek Pier is an addition to Morale, Welfare and Recreation Annapolis’ Carr Creek Marina.  Mill Creek Pier is the premier berthing location for Carr Creek Marina and provides a safe facility that is convenient to the Chesapeake Bay for DoD patrons.
         CDR John L. Dunning, Jr., USNR Ret., and former civilian MWR Director from April 1988 until October 2001, was instrumental in formulating plans for Mill Creek Pier and in gaining final approval for its construction.
         On September 25, 2002, the Chief of Naval Operations approved the name of the new pier as Commander John L. Dunning, Jr, USNR, Ret. Memorial Pier.
         Mill Creek Pier opened in December 2003 and offers 32 slips with full utilities, accommodating boats up to 40 feet in length.  Mill Creek Pier services include a central pump-out station, security fencing, lighting, hard surface parking and a launching ramp.
          It is with great esteem that this pier is dedicated in honor of CDR John L. Dunning, Jr.
