USS Bowfin Submarine Museum & Park

The Pacific Submarine Museum was established on Pearl Harbor Submarine Base by the U. S. Navy in 1970. The artifacts were transferred to the Pacific Fleet Submarine Memorial Association in July 1988. The move allowed visitors to experience the museum located alongside USS Bowfin (SS-287)
