Navy SEAL Museum San Diego
U.S. Navy SEALs are an elite special operations force under the United States Naval Special Warfare Command. They are renowned for their mental fortitude, adaptability determination, and teamwork in diverse and challenging environments. The acronym SEAL is derived from their mastery of all the realms in which they operate—Sea, Air, and Land—and execute high-risk, high-impact missions.
All Navy SEALs must complete Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) training to earn their Trident. Much of that training is conducted at Naval Special Warfare (NSW) Command on San Diego Bay in Coronado, California. Navy SEALs are a unique attribute of this region’s character with many retired Navy SEALs, SWCC, and other NSW personnel living and raising families here, though there hasn’t been a museum dedicated to these elite warriors. Until now.
The opening of Navy SEAL Museum San Diego represents an expansion of the National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum in Ft. Pierce into San Diego, offering a unique opportunity for visitors to experience SEAL heritage in two cities prominent to their lineage. The National Navy SEAL Museum is: One Museum, One Mission, Two Locations.

Where the Story of the Frogman Begins
The origin of today’s Navy SEALs can be traced back to the formidable units created during the Second World War. Amphibious Scouts and Raiders were formed in August 1942 for the purpose of amphibious reconnaissance operations. Naval Combat Demolition Units (NCDUs) were formed in June of 1943, trained for clearing beach obstacles at Normandy. Underwater Demolition Teams (UDTs) were then formed in December of 1944; these combat swimmers conducted coastline reconnaissance and demolition of obstacles that impeded amphibious landings in the Pacific. The maritime operators of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) were organized in 1942 for the purpose of collecting intelligence to sabotage military efforts of enemy nations during this era.
