Sometimes it is necessary, because not all navigation links has precise name that let screen reader users know what kind of navigation it is. Add a <h3></h3> is clearer and more convenient for them to understand it.

For example, like this site. When the screen reader starts to read "Live Feed, Top Users, Tag Cloud, Tools, Jobs", how does screen reader users know what's this?
