The USS Pampanito is a WWII submarine that is today a National Historic Landmark and part of the San Francisco Maritime National Historic Park. The submarine was active during the war, sinking and damaging Japanese ships. Visitors can tour the submarine and learn all about the history. There are even overnight educational programs for kids.
Although it was built in 1943, the Pampanito is in the process of being fully restored to resemble its 1945 state, when it was active during the war. The project has been on going but successful as various parts were located and acquired. If you want to see or tour the submarine it is located at Pier 45, Fisherman's Wharf.
