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.
