Step inside USS Torsk, the World War II submarine that holds a place in history for firing the last torpedoes of the war. Commissioned in late 1944, Torsk patrolled the waters off Japan, sinking the final two enemy warships just one day before Japan’s surrender. After the war, she served for decades as a Cold War training vessel, earning a Presidential Unit Citation for her role in the Lebanon Crisis and a Navy Commendation Medal during the Cuban Missile Blockade.

Now a floating museum in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, Torsk invites visitors to experience life beneath the waves. Cram into the tight corridors where 80 sailors once lived, explore the torpedo rooms where history was made, and imagine the tension of silent, deep-water missions. With over 10,600 dives in her career, USS Torsk is not just a relic—it’s a testament to the bravery and endurance of the silent service.
