Explored Pier 39. ✔ Walked to Pier 45. ✔ Found a WWII Submarine. ✔ That’s right. I said A World War II Submarine. The USS Pampanito submarine served for three decades before being retired but is perhaps most famous for its starring role as the fictional USS Stingray in the 1995 comedy film Down Periscope starring Kelsey Grammar.

SO worth the $10 admission fee!
One laundry machine for 70+ men. How often do you really think they washed their clothes? (Also, only one shower too. Ditto for washing of bodies?) 😉
This bunk is sandwiched between torpedoes. Yup. Better not toss and turn at night if you sleep there.
Torpedo tubes
Turns out you can rent the submarine for overnight stays! How cool is that?
