Welcome to Subsim. I hope you enjoy your time here.


I had the chance to visit Requin in Pittsburgh and the Carnegie Science Science Center with which it is associated. I also had the chance to tour LST-325 while it was moored there one summer, close to the Sub. I was attending a wedding and had a nice couple days there touring it all.

Welcome to Subsim!

The only two encounters I've had with submarines was the U-505 in Chicago and the USS Silversides which we ( Me and my fellow shipmates in the Sea Cadet Corps) spent the night on.

The USS Silversides I mean.

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.
