The Buffalo and Erie County Naval & Military Park, formerly known as The Buffalo Naval and Servicemen's Park, is a museum on the shore of Lake Erie in Buffalo, New York. It is home to several decommissioned US Naval vessels, including the Cleveland-class cruiser USS Little Rock, the Fletcher-class destroyer USS The Sullivans, and the submarine USS Croaker (later SSK 246). All three are open to the public for tours.

A variety of smaller vehicles, vessels, and aircraft are also on display at the park. These include a tiny X-Ron 1 Rotorcycle one-man helicopter used by the US Marine Corps in the late fifties and early sixties, an Army M41 Walker Bulldog tank used in the Korean War, a Marine M-84 Armored personnel carrier, a Huey flown in Vietnam, an Air Force F-101 Voodoo flown by the Air National Guards 107th FIS,Niagara Falls ARS, a Trumpy-class Fast Patrol Craft, more commonly known as a Swift boat, used in Vietnam, a Navy FJ-4B Fury jet (equivalent to the Air Force's F-86 Sabre), and a P-39 Airacobra manufactured at Bell Aircraft in Buffalo which saw service in World War II.
