The museum was inaugurated on May 7, 2005 on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Vietnam People's Navy. The project was built in a modern architectural style in the shape of a ship reaching out to sea.

The Navy Museum has an indoor exhibition area of 1,800 m², with over 1,000 historical documents and artifacts. The outdoor exhibition area has an area of 2,400 m², displaying large-scale artifacts and weapons, reflecting the characteristics and achievements of the Navy's construction and combat.

Among the artifacts at the Navy Museum, the most prominent is the Military Transport Ship HQ671 - The Ship Without Number, which was recognized as a National Treasure in 2017.

Ship HQ 671 was launched in 1962, belonging to the 125th Naval Brigade. During the resistance war against the US to save the country, the ship transported 20 trips with nearly 400 tons of weapons to directly support the Southern battlefield, contributing significantly to many victories on the Southern and South Central battlefields.

During the General Offensive and Uprising in the Spring of 1975, the ship directly participated in the liberation of Son Ca Island. When the March 14, 1988 incident occurred, the ship overcame the enemy's blockade and threats to protect the sovereignty of the Truong Sa archipelago. Ship HQ 671 is the only remaining ship among the "no-number" ships that made up the legend of the Ho Chi Minh Trail at sea.

In addition to the HQ 671 ship, the Navy Museum currently displays the KA 25 aircraft, a submarine hunting aircraft belonging to the 954th Naval Air Regiment, which participated in joint combat exercises and patrols to protect maritime sovereignty in 1980-1984.

Tank 689 on display at the Museum is a tank belonging to Battalion 867 - the assault force of the 126th Marine Brigade, participating in the Southwest Campaign, liberating Kampong-Som Port. In 1979, the tank participated in protecting Cam Ranh base and Truong Sa archipelago.

Some other typical artifacts include the HT-6 Magnetic Launch Device, a mine-clearing vehicle researched and manufactured by the Vietnamese Navy in June 1968, mounted on boats and canoes, which detonated many American mines and magnetic bombs in the rivers and seas of Northern Vietnam in 1968-1969.

Hai Doi Hai missiles - equipped on Navy warships participating in the 1975 spring campaign, contributing to liberating the southern sea and islands and protecting the Fatherland's sea.

AK 230 cannon (weapon equipped on the warships of the Vietnam Navy) and 37mm cannon equipped on the 79-ton ship of the 100-ton ship participated in the fight against the destructive war of the American empire (1965-1972), shooting down many American planes.

The mines were used by the 23rd Navy squadron to blockade the Cua Viet sea area (Quang Tri), sinking and damaging many enemy ships during the Spring-Summer 1972 campaign.

Along with priceless treasures and artifacts, the Navy Museum also displays the Sovereignty Marker - a sacred symbol on the Truong Sa Archipelago. For nearly 40 years, the Navy Museum has been one of the historical, cultural and artistic centers of the Vietnam People's Navy, serving well the information and propaganda work, contributing significantly to educating generations about revolutionary traditions.
