Currently closed for repairs due to damage caused by a recent flood. Still visible from the pedestrian bridge that connects both sides of the Arkansas River. You can view other neat military artifacts on the sub side of the river.

There's a great view of the USS Razorback from the pedestrian Junction Bridge over the Arkansas River.

Quite challenging to get around; it's definitely worth the trip. One of 12 subs in Tokyo harbor when Japan surrendered in WWII.
Sold to Turkey in 1970 and actively used by them for over 30 years before being purchased back by the US (look for signage in Turkish).
A must experience - seriously, how often can you actually get ON a submarine that saw active duty in World War II?

A cartoon placard for the USS Razorback submarine shows "kills." Small flags = merchant ships. Large flags = supply ships. Sunrise flags = war ships. The rest are U.S. pilots rescued at sea.
[Katharine Chestnut, 07/07/2010]A perfectly preserved WW2 diesel submarine. Sold to the Turkish Navy in the 1980s, this submarine was sold to the town of Little Rock for $1 and is now part of the Arkansas Maritime Museum.
