There’s a lot to see inside San Francisco’s historic USS Pampanito (SS-383).
This World War II-era submarine was the first diesel-electric vessel in the US Navy
it served in active duty from 1943 to 1982, when it was retired and placed on display as part
the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park.
The more than 1000 people who visit USS Pampanito every year can now explore
its corridors, cabins, engine room, and mess hall thanks to a recent $2 million renovation project.
