USS Pampanito is a World War II Balao class Fleet submarine museum and memorial. Pampanito made six patrols in the Pacific during World War II during which she sank six Japanese ships and damaged four others. Her biggest day came on September 12, 1944, when she and two other submarines surprised an 11-ship convoy and sank seven vessels. Later, Pampanito rescued 73 Allied prisoners of war who had been carried aboard the enemy transports.

That's really cool. It took me about 4 images to figure out you could also look up and down - I've never seen complete panaroama views like that.

Subs are cool. I toured an active duty Los Angeles Class nuclear attack sub last month. Defintely a little nicer than this WWII sub, but the old sub looks nicer than I expected. I could definitely live in one of the L.A. class subs.

Thanks for posting. It reminds me that my kids are now old enough to tour the local sub here in Oklahoma. Some WWII vets brought a sub up one of the navigation channels trying to get it to Tulsa, but were forced to stop short. It is amazing how far inland they could have operated.

No, but sounds like one for the bucket list.

Pretty good flick, and you never hear anything about it. Peter O'Tool takes on a nazi sub that no one believes exists in a river.

Theres a German U-boat you can tour at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. We toured it last year and I cant believe people lived in those conditions. Being crammed in that thing with a few tourists damn near made me freak out, it would have been frighting to be in there while being depth charged.
