Submerge yourself in the history of submarines! Climb aboard the historic World War II submarine USS Bowfin, nicknamed “The Pearl Harbor Avenger,” to see how confining and demanding the life of the undersea warrior was. Self-guided tours of Bowfin await you and your students.

Schools often combine visits to Bowfin Park with the Arizona Memorial or our other Pearl Harbor Historic Partners – the Battleship Missouri Memorial and the Pacific Aviation Museum. We even have a “Spend the day, stay the night” program – groups visit all four historic sites and sleep aboard the “Mighty Mo.”
