USS Torsk, a Tench class boat that sank the last warships of WW2, is in Baltimore's Inner Harbor, along with USS Constellation, the last all-sail warship built by the USN, WHEC-37 Taney, the last warship still afloat that was in Hawaii on 7 Dec 41, and an example of both a screwpile lighthouse and a diesel-electric lightship (LV-116, marked "CHESAPEAKE"). Go on a Saturday morning to meet the gang from the Torsk volunteer association, some of whom actually served aboard Torsk while she was still in commission, and who continue to serve aboard today.
