Muskogee, Oklahoma - WWII Submarine - USS Batfish

The USS Batfish (SS-310) is an interesting exhibit, for those curious about history, since it is the champion American submarine of WWII. You have to drive through an area that looks like an industrial park, which may give you the impression that you are lost. The submarine is not air-conditioned, so it can be rather hot inside during the summer months. Even though the submarine is parked on dry land, you might want to bring along some water (to drink). [Darren Stout, 05/13/2001]

[RA: After launching in 1943, the Batfish sank three submarines and eleven other enemy ships. She served various other duties after World War II, retired for good in 1969. This may be the most "landlocked" of all subs on display in the US. Tipster David Hamrick notes: "The self-guided tour takes you the length of the main deck (sorry, no conning tower climbs) and is definitely not for the claustrophobic. Watch your head and step up to go through those hatches!"]
