National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum

Fort Pierce, Florida

America's elite military frogmen got their start in World War II, blowing up Nazi beach obstacles. Back then they were anonymous, known only as UDT: Underwater Demolition Teams. Today, everybody knows them as the celebrity Navy SEALs. Their museum houses a number of iconic mementoes of their always-dangerous missions, including several of those Nazi obstacles that they didn't blow up.
