USS Cavalla, Museum submarine in Galveston, United States.
The USS Cavalla, a Gato class fleet submarine measuring 311 feet long, resides at Seawolf Park as part of the Galveston Naval Museum display.
During World War II, the submarine achieved notable success by sinking the Japanese aircraft carrier Shokaku, which had participated in the Pearl Harbor attack.
The submarine serves as an educational center where visitors learn about naval operations, maritime warfare tactics, and the daily routines of submarine crews.
Guided tours through the submarine interior allow visitors to explore the torpedo rooms, crew quarters, control center, and engine compartments year-round.
The USS Cavalla stands next to the USS Stewart destroyer escort, creating the only location where these opposing naval vessel types are displayed side by side.
