Navy SEAL museum coming to San Diego

SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) A new museum dedicated to U.S. Navy SEALs is coming to downtown San Diego.

San Diego and Coronado have long been known as the West Coast home of the Navy s primary special operations force. Now, a museum will showcase their history.

We want to tell our 80-year story. How much we ve evolved over the years from World War II to present, retired U.S. Navy Capt. Todd Perry said.

That s exactly what the new museum will do. Through interactive displays, virtual reality, an immersive theater and a chronological history exhibit.

San Diego is where all of our SEALS are trained. It s where about half of them are based. It s where they re ultimately commanded from, so it is clearly our biggest hub in the country, Perry said.

There s already a Navy SEAL museum near Fort Pierce, Florida, but Perry says America s Finest City is the perfect location for a second museum because of its rich military history that attracts many tourists.
