Florida may be best-known for seaside cities and gorgeous beaches, the Kennedy Space Center and Disney World, but at the coastal town of Fort Pierce, you'll find another gem: the Navy UDT-SEAL Museum – the only facility in the world dedicated exclusively to the Navy's elite warriors. Located between Daytona Beach and Miami, just a short drive off I-95, the museum stands on the original World War II training site of the Naval Combat Demolition Units (NCDUs) and Underwater Demolition Teams (UDTs) – a site known as the "birthplace of the Navy Frogman."
Naked Warriors, Devils with Green Faces – the names have changed, but the mission's the same. The Navy UDT-SEAL Museum covers a lot of physical and historical terrain. It features everything from underwater and surface craft dating from World War II to the present; original steel-and-concrete obstacles used to train early elite units more than 60 years ago; Vietnam-era patrol riverboats and a Seawolf helicopter, two Apollo space capsules, two desert patrol vehicles from Afghanistan and Iraq and the high-tech SEAL Delivery Vehicle (SDV). (In the early days of the space program, UDTs retrieved astronauts and space capsules following re-entry.) More
