USS Silversides, World War II submarine museum in Muskegon, United States.

The USS Silversides submarine stretches 311 feet in length and contains ten torpedo tubes with a four-inch deck gun mounted on the surface.

During World War II operations in the Pacific Theater, USS Silversides sank 23 enemy vessels, totaling over 90,000 tons of Japanese shipping.

The Great Lakes Naval Memorial and Museum maintains this submarine as an educational center, teaching visitors about naval operations and military service.

The museum welcomes visitors from Sunday through Thursday between 10 AM and 4 PM, with extended hours until 5:30 PM on Fridays and Saturdays.

The submarine's Fairbanks Morse engines remain functional and staff members start them multiple times annually to maintain their operational status.
