Review:
The submarine USS Bowfin, popularly called the "Pearl Harbor Avenger," was launched one year after the Pearl Harbor attack and spent its time at war as a true avenger, sinking 44 enemy ships, patrolling the seas, and looking for prey just like its namesake, a mean-looking fish with sharp teeth and an insatiable appetite. After nine patrols the submarine was placed at its current berth in Pearl Harbor.
The Bowfin was declared a National Historic Landmark and is open to the public as a museum ship, allowing visitors to come aboard and get an idea of life in a World War II-era submarine. It is located near the Arizona Memorial and has more than 4,000 artifacts, including recruiting posters and battle flags, and special exhibits such as a Poseidon missile with its insides exposed.
