The Navy SEAL Museum
is coming to
San Diego, California.
A Navy SEAL is a member of the United States Navy’s primary Special Operations Force renowned for their exceptional skill, versatility, and tenacity. The acronym SEAL stands for Sea, Air, and Land, highlighting the diverse environments in which these elite warriors operate. SEALs are trained to execute high-risk, high-impact missions.
San Diego is home to Naval Special Warfare, located in Coronado. All aspiring Navy SEAL candidates go through Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) training here.
Many retired Navy SEALs, SWCC, and other NSW personnel have made their lives and raised their families here.
But locally, there isn’t a museum preserving the history and heritage of these elite warriors. Until now.

San Diego Museum Loads in Largest Collection Piece Via Crane – Retired Navy SEALs onsite to oversee installation
SAN DIEGO, CA (September 18, 2024) – The upcoming Navy SEAL Museum San Diego (NSMSD), located at 1001 Kettner Blvd., will be receiving a SEAL Delivery Vehicle (SDV) which will be crane-lifted into the Museum’s second floor in a highly visible installation on September 26, 2024, at 6:30 AM.
The SDV is 21-ft. long and weighs over 1,600 lbs. It has been shipped cross country from Navy SEAL Museum, Fort Pierce via flatbed truck. Once inside, the SDV will eventually be suspended from the ceiling 15 ft. overhead. Visitors will be able to witness the collection piece’s size and scale personally when the Museum opens in Summer/Fall 2025.
