Who We Are
The U.S. Naval Undersea Museum is the only official Navy museum that interprets all of the Navy’s undersea operations. We hold the country’s most comprehensive collection of U.S. Navy artifacts, documents, and reference material related to undersea subjects, and are renowned for several of these specialty collections, especially those in torpedoes, diving and salvage, submarine technology, and undersea vehicles. Several of these significant artifacts are on display in the museum’s 18,000-square-foot exhibition hall, designed to connect visitors to the history and operations of the underwater Navy.
The U.S. Naval Undersea Museum is one of ten museums operated by the U.S. Navy under the direction of the Naval History and Heritage Command.
