The İnciraltı Sea Museum is a naval museum in the İnciraltı neighborhood of Izmir's Balçova district in Turkey.[1] Located near the İnciraltı Ozdilek Shopping Center,[2] it was opened on July 1, 2007.[3]

Main attractions of the museum are two decommissioned naval vessels of the Turkish Navy, the submarine TCG Pirireis (S 343) (the former USS Tang (SS-563)) and the frigate TCG Ege (F 256) (the former USS Ainsworth (FF-1090)). There are also other exhibits at the museum.[3]
