A Tour of the Navy SEAL Museum

By: James Kara Murat

Located at the northern part of the Hutchinson Island in Florida, the U.S. Navy SEAL Museum is nestled at the original place where the Frogmen underwent their training back in the early 1940s. The Navy SEAL Museum is dedicated to the elite group of the Naval Special Warfare, the only one in the whole world.

How It Started

The U.S. Navy Frogmen, the original name given to the Navy SEALs, were born and came to existence at Fort Pierce, Florida, where the National Navy SEAL Museum now stands. The U.S. Navy Underwater Demolition Teams and the U.S. Naval Combat Demolition Units were composed primarily of brave volunteers for the Second World War.

It was in November 1985 when the Navy SEAL Museum was formally dedicated to the elite group of the U.S. Special Operations Forces. Thereafter, an endless number of artifacts have continuously been sent to Fort Pierce.

What You Will Find

The Navy SEAL Museum provides a good venue for people to learn more about the history of the Naval Special Warfare. Inside the Navy SEAL Museum, one will be able to discover the beginnings of the Underwater Demolition Team, learn about their exploits in the Second World War, and understand more about the Navy SEALs by way of the artifacts and the many photographs displayed in the museum.

Outside, one will feel nostalgic seeing various modes of transportations that have been used by the Navy SEALs. A helicopter, two-man submarines, and patrol boats are artfully displayed outside the museum. The vehicle's story can be read on a statue that stands on each of them.

Inside, one will be greeted by a volunteer, who could be a retired SEAL, a retired Frogman, or a spouse of a Frogman or a SEAL. The volunteer will serve as your guide in your tour of the museum and will explain every memorabilia on display.

The Museum Store

Like the usual museum, the Navy SEAL Museum also has a shop for us navy seals visitors where they can purchase their choice of SEAL souvenirs such as a pin, a cap, or a book. Tactical gear like backpacks, gloves, bags, and holsters can likewise be bought at the Navy SEAL Museum store.

U.S. Navy SEAL shirts, polos, cammies, and other tactical apparel (ideally for souvenir purposes) are available at the museum shop. Items are moderately priced, and the museum also accepts donations for it maintenance. Also, for a $100 donation, one can make his name part of the great Navy SEAL history with his own memorial brick being used nowhere else but within the grounds of the museum.

  • Alan Greenspan Isn't a Libertarian, Complacency Isn't Stability, and Debt Isn't Wealth By: Les Lafave - A recent New York Times article "Taking a Hard New Look at Alan Greenspan's Legacy" (Peter S. Goodman), did an entertaining job of slamming former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, and for that, I'd gratefully subscribe (if I could afford it). But there was a pigeon sized fly in the Timesian ointment-- the article calls Greenspan a libertarian with a straight face, and blames the financial crisis, not on Chairman Greenspan's monetary policy lead foot, but on his "faith" in "free markets".

  • Climate Change: Burning My Valley By: Len Q - Living on a tropical island is pretty unique. If you love the natural world, there are so many things that you could do. I grew up in a small valley in the southern hills of my island and I've known it my whole life. Hiking at a nice leisurely pace up the steep ravine hills for a few hundred feet is entirely worth it when I choose a spot near the summit to just be. It's a true blessing to be able to do that. It's a wonderful workout, too.

  • Life After The Elections:What The Candidates Can Apply For By: Ingemar Stefansson - The candidates are campaigning like there’s no more day after November 4. They have bought primetime slots, have been doing state-hopping to get their messages across and trying to get into the good side of political discussions. But after the ballots had been tallied or as early as after the news websites have reported the exit polls and have made their own predictions, only one of the presidential hopefuls will emerge as the winner who’ll move to the famous address in the world. So, where will the losing candidate go?

  • ACORN's Voter Fraud? By: Marvin J Markus - The right wing spin is that the organization called ACORN has registered many thousands of fake people who supposedly will somehow make real votes for Obama/Biden this fall. They are telling this lie in hopes of changing the subject from the economy and in hopes of continuing their ridiculous low road "guilt by association" slime ball attacks on Barack Obama. The truth is that ACORN is a group which tries to register real people (poor people) to vote. And the truth is this what the Republicans do not like.

  • Presidential Campaigns Finally Fire Up The Negative Ads By: Aydan Corkern - Well, we all were wondering when the presidential candidates would begin slinging out the negative advertisements against each other. Would it not be so nice just to have one election of any kind to get to the finish line without having to hear the competitors slinging trash at one another? Is it not much more important for us to hear what things they are planning to do to help this country and the poor pitiful state that it is in?
