Navy Seabees, tracing their roots to World War II, are legendary construction battalions of the United States Navy, established in 1942. They have since served with distinction, embodying a proud legacy of building vital infrastructure and supporting military operations across the globe.
Seabee memorials and monuments stand as enduring tributes to the valor and dedication of Navy Seabees worldwide. The Navy Seabee Foundation maintains a list of memorials around the globe.
The Navy Seabee Museum in California, the Seabee Museum and Memorial Park in Rhode Island, and the Seabee Heritage Center in Mississippi preserve the rich history and traditions of the Seabees and Civil Engineer Corps. Through artifacts, exhibits, and educational programs, these museums honor the legacy of the Seabees and showcase their invaluable contributions to military construction and engineering.
The Navy Seabee Foundation pays tribute to fallen shipmates through its Final Salute list. This solemn acknowledgment ensures that their memory lives on, as their names are honored and remembered by the Seabee community and beyond, embodying the Foundation’s commitment to honor our Seabee legacy.
An important function of the Navy Seabee Foundation is to act as a clearing house for Seabees and CEC officers, past and present, and we need your help to make our listing as complete as possible. We maintain a comprehensive database of 80,000+ names that is used to help connect Seabees and CEC officers and assist veterans and their family members with finding information about Seabees they served with or relatives who served.
