KEY POINTS:
The cramped Navy Museum next to Devonport Navy Base is set to move to a site at one of the most historic bays on Auckland's North Shore.
The navy plans to move the museum to Torpedo Bay where the Tainui immigration canoe landed about 1350 and where the coal-fired steam spar torpedo boats were housed in the late 1800s.
A building is already at the site with enough space for the museum.
