Visitors guide
Visitors can expect indoor galleries arranged chronologically with ship models, uniforms, historical artefacts, weapons, interactive displays and multimedia presentations, plus outdoor exhibits featuring decommissioned naval equipment, guns and a former patrol craft. The museum is located within an active naval base, so visits are by prior appointment with security clearance and are typically conducted as guided tours led by navy personnel in a structured, educational setting.
