"USS Bowfin (SS-287) is fortunate that she did not end up as scrap metal or as target practice for another military ship. Bowfin is one of only fifteen U.S. WWII submarines that survived this dreaded fate. Today, USS Bowfin Submarine Museum & Park, home to the historic USS Bowfin, is a reality because of the hard work and dedication of individuals from both the military and the civilian communities. Her story and the story of the U.S. Submarine Force, past and present, lives on." (
