Philidelphia: Becuna

Philadelphia historic ships Aug 15 (2)

Moored next to the Olympia is the submarine USS Becuna. Built in Pennsylvania and launched in 1944, it had a role in the Pacific War and then Cold War. It was decommissioned in 1969.

Careful as you enter, the steps from the deck are steep. It took me about 15 minutes to make my way through the sub.
