USS Pampanito Submarine
The USS Pampanito submarine can be found in Pier 45 on Fisherman's Wharf, very close to the SS Jeremiah O’Brien Ship.
USS Pampanito in History
USS Pampanito is a submarine from the Second World War that survived countless battles in the Pacific; it sank six enemy ships and managed to rescue 73 men and take them to the United States.
While it was in service, the Pampanito had a staff of 80 men who shared the tiny space over long voyages.
Visiting the Pampanito
Visiting its decks is not too interesting but, once you go inside, you'll discover a completely different world and feel part of history; the history of those who spent so much time working and living here.
On entering the Pampanito you can visit the rooms where the crew lived; the kitchen, the dining room, a small office, and the dormitories are still the same as they were at the time.
An Entertaining Visit
Unless you have visited New York’s Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum, if you have ever wanted to go into a submarine, this is your opportunity. Exploring the inside of a submarine is not something that you can do in many places.
