Puget Sound Navy Museum, Naval museum in Bremerton, United States

The Puget Sound Navy Museum is a maritime museum in Bremerton dedicated to naval operations and shipyard history of the region. The museum houses uniforms, weapons, ship models, and photographs that document the work and operations of the Navy across decades.

The museum opened in 1954 and has moved five times in 52 years of operation. On August 24, 2007, the 111-year-old Building 50 from the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard was moved and refurbished to house its exhibits on the Bremerton waterfront.

The museum is one of ten Navy museums run by the Naval History & Heritage Command, and its stated mission is collecting, preserving and interpreting the naval heritage of the Pacific Northwest for the U.S. Navy and the public. Exhibits centre on the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, with a section devoted to the aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis. A research library, gift shop and children's area round out the visit.

The museum sits near the ferry terminal and is within walking distance from downtown. Plan to spend two to three hours to comfortably view the exhibits and outdoor displays.

Outside the building stands the preserved sail section of USS Parche, a nuclear submarine used for classified underwater missions. This unusual display serves as a reminder of the lesser-known naval operations that took place during the Cold War era.
