Visitors step in beneath a suspended Blue Angel F/A-18E Super Hornet, the same plane flown by the Blue Angels, hanging from a single anchor point in the stairwell. From there, visitors head to the Akerson Theater, where a 180° film shows midshipman life. From there, Tosé Exploration Hall invites hands-on discovery: interactive touchscreens spotlight Navy legends and Heisman winners, while a “Who Will You Become?” AR moment lets visitors picture themselves in Navy roles.

Throughout, materials and details nod to the Yard—clean lines, purposeful finishes and tech that disappears until it’s needed. Content is easy to update, so the space stays fresh season after season. The result is a conversation starter for recruits and families: real stories, real stakes and a clear sense of what it means to wear Navy across your chest.
