Why go

The museum explains a strand of maritime history that ship-focused attractions only partly cover. Aircraft reveal the equipment, scale and changing demands of aviation at sea, while supporting displays place the machines in service context. It suits visitors who want to look closely at particular aircraft rather than collect a quick photo, and travel should be planned as a separate shore excursion.

What to look for

  • Naval aviation aircraft
  • Service-history displays
