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.
