USS Torsk, World War II submarine at Inner Harbor, Baltimore, US.
USS Torsk is a World War II submarine at the Inner Harbor in Baltimore. The vessel measures roughly 95 meters long and has torpedo tubes, diesel engines, and cabins for the crew.
The submarine entered service in 1944 and sank three Japanese ships in the Pacific in 1945, including the last enemy units destroyed by the US Navy. After the war it continued serving until 1968 and was then opened to the public.
The boat's name Torsk means cod in Norwegian, reflecting the tradition of naming submarines after sea creatures. Visitors see the original bunks, galley, and technical systems on board that bring weeks of underwater life into focus.
The tour goes through several decks of the boat, where visitors can sense the cramped spaces and technical equipment. Access is via ladders and narrow passages, so steady footing is helpful.
The boat dived over ten thousand times during its service between 1944 and 1968, setting a record for units of that era. Visitors today can still enter the periscope room and look through the lens.
