On 21 February 1990
Senator John Heinz introduced Senate Bill S.2151, which allowed
Requin to be transferred as an exhibit for the
Carnegie Science Center in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. On 24 May
Requin was towed to Tampa Shipyard for dry docking and hull repairs, in preparation for her move to Pittsburgh. On 7 August she left International Ship Repair in Tampa under tow to
Baton Rouge, Louisiana where, on 11 August, she was lifted onto barges and began her ride up the
Mississippi River and
Ohio River to Pittsburgh. On 4 September
Requin arrived at the
Carnegie Science Center, and on 20 October 1990
Requin was dedicated as a memorial and museum exhibit, and opened for tours.
