Gudgeon (SS/AGSS/SSAG-567) during a fleet week in San Diego 1978 1983, She was transferred by lease to Turkey and renamed TCG Hızırreis, named for Ottoman Admiral Kurtoğlu Hızır Reis. She was purchased in 1987 and served until 2004. She is berthed as a museum ship at the Kocaeli Museum Ships Command in Izmit and is open to the public. ...and USS Pampanito (SS-383/AGSS-383), 2014, berthed at San Francisco's Fisherman wharf astern of the Liberty USS Jeremiah O'Brien. She's just gotten out of a major refit-drydock; so I'll go again soon.http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=228437 Note: in looking up Turkish sub museums, the USS Thornback SS418 Tench class launched 1944 launch is now renamed TCG Uluçalireis (S 338) on display at the Golden Horn in Istanbul (all pics enlarge)

When I was little, about 7, I was on a tour of a sub while visiting my uncle in Charleston SC. Took a tour of The Nautilus while touring New England.
Does the (now gone) 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea ride at Disney World count?

The U-505 when I was a little kid before they moved it, then saw it again once they moved it into the new zone. Also been to the Silversides in Michigan! That was by far my favorite.
If anyone lives close enough to visit it go check it out! https://silversidesmuseum.org/

I had the pleasure of touring the SAS Asegaii, a French Daphne Class Submarine in service with the South African Navy. She was still in active service and came to town for a public open day. The Assegai has since been decommissioned, but is now on display in Cape Town. I also was able to tour the SAS Charlotte Mqkweke a few year ago when the Navy was in town.

USS Bowfin, when I went to Hawaii for a family vacation 2 years ago. It was a "must see" item on my itinerary! It really brought home to me how cramped the interior of a sub is!

I've been to "U-434" a old soviet Project 641 Disel sub.
It's not in a good condition sadly. A lot of the equipment was removed as well. As the sub was beeing transfered from russia, the russian secret service stopped the vessel and took most of the equipment with them. http://static.panoramio.com/photos/o...l/13096556.jpg |

The USS Albacore is on display in Portsmouth New Hampshire.
She's quite roomy for a submarine. |

USS Drum many times, hometown is just 50 miles to the east and I live here again finally. Have no visited there in a while. Last time I was there ran into some volunteers, they let us go up on the bridge which is normally restricted, great view.
Visiting the USS Cod this summer, can't wait. |
