I first visited the USS Razorback in May, 2007. As a qualified submariner, I was able to tour the boat at my own pace without a tour guide.

Named for the razorback (aka fin, finback) whale, the Razorback is one of the longest-serving submarines still existing in the world, having been commissioned by two different countries for 57 years of active duty. Launched in January 1944, she was in Tokyo Bay for the Japanese surrender ceremony at the end of World War II.  The submarine is now a museum ship at the Arkansas Inland Maritime Museum.
