BRING ADVENTURE TO THE SURFACE

In 2019, after 244 years of service, the first and only National Museum dedicated to the men and women of the Surface Navy was established aboard Battleship USS Iowa in Los Angeles, California at America’s Port.
With your support, the 250th birthday of the U.S. Navy will be celebrated with the opening of the National Museum of the Surface Navy at the Battleship IOWA in 2025.
