Our Mission

To ignite curiosity, connect communities, and enhance understanding of America's role in maritime peace and prosperity.

Passion makes people do extraordinary things. It's why a group of volunteers saved a battleship - and sparked a national movement. A tool of war has been transformed into an anchor of purpose. Through immersive experiences and powerful storytelling, we're connecting millions to the people, values, and service behind our sea services - and changing the way America understands service, sacrifice, and the sea.

Building on the success of Battleship IOWA and LA Fleet Week, the National Museum of the Surface Navy is a national platform to reconnect America with maritime understanding, change perceptions, and inspire service. We invite you to join us on the journey.
