The Waterfront Memorial and the USS Bowfin (SS-287) submarine moored at Pearl Harbor.

Despite the second mandated shutdown on Oahu, we have continued to execute our renovation project. We are happy to inform you that the construction phase of our renovation is complete — we are now focusing efforts on exhibit installation.

Pacific Studio, our exhibit installer arrived on island and has hit the ground running. With the initial two containers delivered and four more anticipated in the next two weeks, Pacific Studio expects to complete the exhibit installation before the end of the year. The museum’s audio-visual (A-V) systems will be installed sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas. The A-V system will be tested and content will be loaded in early January 2021.

We are currently on track for a soft opening of our museum in mid to late January and a grand reopening in February – March. We will keep you updated as we progress through the installation process so stay tuned!

Thanks to everyone who came out for our Kamaʻāina Sunday event held earlier this month in celebration of the U.S. Navy’s Submarine Force’s 125th birthday. It was such a joy welcoming local families, students, and service members to step aboard the USS Bowfin and explore the Pacific Fleet Submarine Museum grounds. 

We’re so thankful for the support from our community and loved seeing so many of you enjoying the exhibits, learning something new, and spending the day with us.

We hope to see everyone again soon!
