USS Blueback, Military submarine museum at OMSI, Portland, US
The 219-foot USS Blueback submarine exhibits living quarters, control rooms, and technical equipment used during naval operations from 1959 to 1990.
The USS Blueback served as the last non-nuclear powered submarine in the United States Navy before its decommission and transformation into a museum ship.
The submarine gained recognition through its appearances in the film The Hunt for Red October and an episode of the television series Hawaii Five-O.
