OMSI is the home of the U.S. Navy's last non-nuclear, fast attack submarine, the U.S.S. Blueback (SS 581). After 31 years of service in the U.S. Navy throughout the Pacific Ocean, and appearing in the movie The Hunt for Red October, the Blueback is now on permanent display at OMSI. The Blueback is a Barbel class submarine, the first battle-ready class of subs to use the tear drop hull design.

DIVE DEEPER!

:up: Wow!!! she cleaned up real nice. The last time I saw the old Blueback, was back in the eary 90s.
She was in mothballs and all covered in seagull crap. My crew and I were getting her ready for tow.(Any shipyard rigger out there.) The rumor at the time, she was on her way to Cal. to be in to be in a movie, some thought she was going to be a target for the Navy. She looks alot better
now, battle ready. Thanks for sharing the links.
