United States Naval Undersea Museum

Through fund-raising efforts of the Foundation, the Naval Undersea Museum and Conference Center complex in Keyport, Washington, opened in 1995.

This new building, filled with more than 20,000 square feet (1,900 m2) of exhibits, holds the largest collection of naval undersea history and science artifacts in the United States.

The museum's research library contains more than 6,500 volumes that support the exhibits and provide extensive information on undersea history, science, and operations.

Some noteworthy items in the Museum[2] collection[3][4][5] are the 55-ton sail of the nuclear fast attack submarine USS Sturgeon, the deep submersibles Trieste II[6] and Mystic, the Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicle (DSRV) that was used for the film The Hunt for Red October, and a re-creation of the control room of USS Greenling using the actual equipment and consoles removed from the attack submarine when it was decommissioned.

Exhibit themes include the environment of the ocean, torpedoes, naval mine warfare, the technology of submarines, and diving equipment.
