USS Batfish is a Balao-class submarine, commissioned in May 1943 and best known for sinking three Japanese submarines in a 72-hour period. Decomissioned in 1969, she was acquired by the State of Oklahoma, towed up the Arkansas River to her current position, and restored as a museum ship. Visitors can walk the length of the ship from bow to stern, viewing almost every location within the submarine except for the conning tower.
At the time of this posting, the cost to tour the sub was $7.00.
