Anyone know which Submarine is at the Science Museum in Portland Oregon? My son just sent me a photo of it but it doesn't appear to have any numbers painted on the Sail
Thanks in Advance
Doc

Hi Doc, I looked at some photos of the Submarine. It has 581 painted on the sail. That number belongs to the USS Blueback. Barbel Class served 1959 to 1990.

I must have just missed seeing her at Pearl Harbor from '67 to late '68. During most of that time the Barbel was home ported there, and the only Barbel class I ever saw in Oahu. I never wanted to be on a Nuc after I reported to the Pickerel, but being on a Barbel class boat I think I would have enjoyed.
