Naval Undersea Museum

The Naval Undersea Museum in Keyport is a facility dedicated to researching and displaying submarine vehicles, diving equipment, and related technological innovations. The collections include historical submarine components, rescue devices, and technical equipment from various periods.

The institution was created in the 1990s through the initiative of a foundation to document the history and development of underwater research and naval technology. It was established at a location with a long connection to US naval industry and underwater technology.

The museum shows how underwater technology shaped American naval thinking and how divers and submarine crews understand their work. Visitors can learn personal stories from people who worked in this specialized world.

The museum is easy to reach and sits next to a military research center, making the location easily identifiable. Visitors should allow several hours to explore all the exhibitions at their own pace.

The museum preserves a large piece of an actual nuclear submarine, giving visitors a rare glimpse of real naval operations. This fragment came from a submarine that played an important role during the Cold War.
