Birthplace of the Navy Frogman




To meet the need for a beach reconnaissance force during World War II, selected Army and Navy personnel assembled at the Amphibious Training Base, Little Creek, Fort Pierce on 15 August 1942 to begin Amphibious Scouts and Raiders training. These trainees were the forerunners of today's Navy Seals.

This museum is the only museum in the world dedicated exclusively to the elite warriors of Naval Special Warfare.
