Rebuilt Bowfin museum showcases ‘silent service’ story
A $20 million, 12,000-square-foot USS Bowfin submarine museum opened Monday with a new name and striking look that charts the course of Navy undersea duty, from the loss of the USS F-4’s 21 hands off Honolulu in 1915 up through the newest $6.5 billion Columbia-class ballistic missile submarines.
The first thing museumgoers see — and walk through — is a mammoth 43-foot-diameter ring that replicates the hull dimension of the new Columbia class, the largest submarines ever built by the United States.
