The museum is similar to the Battleship Missouri Memorial in that it is in close proximity to the monument. One of just 15 World War II-era submarines surviving in the U.S., this historic submarine took part in nine World War II patrols and is now on display at the National Museum of the Pacific War. Now it serves as a walk-through exhibit in combination with a museum that has a variety of combat objects, including submarine bells, battle flags, and a Poseidon missile, among others. Cruise missiles, a torpedo, and an underwater rescue chamber are among the artifacts on display in the adjoining park, which also contains a collection of other items. Some past visitors expressed unhappiness with the amount of elbow room available within, but many others heart felt thanks for getting a firsthand sight of the claustrophobic conditions in which personnel were forced to live while stationed on the submarine. Others took use of the self-guided sound guides that were provided with the admission to the museum and the submarine tour. USS Bowfin is open seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday (except on specific holidays).Although the submarine is only available until 4:30 p.m., keep in mind that luggage is not permitted inside either facility.
