She's in good condition, but not seaworthy. They cut 2 huge holes in the side of the hull (just aft of the forward torpedo room and just forward of the aft torpedo room) for tours. I went there last summer and took a tour. It was interesting with lots of sounds and lights for the tourists. No pictures were allowed inside and the tour guide just follows a script. You really can't ask any questions. (at least thats what they said when I was there.) I liked the USS Cobia tour better.
Here's a pic I took, though.
