Virtual Ship Tour: USS Torsk (SS-423)

Join Historic Ships in Baltimore for an inside look on board USS Torsk, a WWII-era Tench - class Submarine, which sunk the last two enemy combatants at the end of WWII. Commissioned for the United States Navy on December 16, 1944, the USS Torsk was the only submarine out of its Tench Class fleet of ten to see service during World War II. Over eighty sailors lived aboard Torsk at particular times. In these very crowded conditions, the only way to pass someone was to turn sideways. After numerous war patrols and duties as a training boat after the war, the Torsk arrived in Baltimore to serve as a museum and memorial in 1972. Learn more about this highlight of the Historic Ships in Baltimore collection, particularly her valiant efforts in the Pacific theater.
