Description:
Credited with sinking over 30 percent of the Japanese Imperial navy's fleet during World War II, submarines played a pivotal role in the battles of the Pacific Theater. Gain insight into the lives of submariners with a tour of the USS Bowfin and its museum.
Arrive at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center and make your way to the USS Bowfin. This celebrated vessel was essential to the success of the Allied Forces against Japan, sinking 16 enemy vessels during World War II. Step aboard to explore the submarine that launched exactly 1 year after the attacks on Pearl Harbor and was manned by 80 Navy submariners as it traveled around the Pacific.
As you tour the National Historic Landmark submarine and its 10,000-square-foot (930 sq m) museum, informative audio commentary from a digital headset ensures that you don't miss a thing. Check out the extensive collection of photographs and fascinating artifacts like original Navy recruiting posters, authentic missiles, and detailed models of submarines.
Before you leave, walk out to the Waterfront Memorial, which honors the 52 American submarines and more than 3,500 submariners lost during World War II. This serene location is a charming place to pay your respects to those who sacrificed their lives in the line of duty.
