National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum – Virtual Tour
The National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum houses exhibits focused on the role of Navy Underwater Demolition Teams (UDT) and the Sea, Air, Land (SEAL) teams.
The museum’s collection includes several rare artifacts dating from the founding of the SEALs through the Underwater Demolition Teams in WWII, to the present-day activities of U.S. Navy SEAL.
The museum’s facility opened in 1985 and was recognized as a National Museum by an act of Congress in 2008. The UDT-SEAL Memorial is the only memorial dedicated exclusively to the United States Navy SEALs and their predecessors.
The Memorial consists of a 9-foot-tall, bronze sculpture of a modern Navy SEAL.
The names of all UDT members, the “Frogmen” of World War II, and the modern Navy SEAL who have died in the service are carved into black, granite panels on the walls surrounding the sculpture and its reflecting pool.
