USS Albacore, Research submarine museum in Portsmouth, United States
The USS Albacore features a cylindrical hull design that established new standards for underwater vessel construction in the United States Navy.
Built at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in 1953, this experimental submarine conducted tests for advanced propulsion systems and underwater maneuverability until 1972.
The submarine memorial includes recorded narratives from former crew members who share their experiences about life and operations aboard the vessel.
Visitors can explore the control room, engineering spaces, bunk rooms, and look through the periscope during self-guided tours of the submarine.
The vessel reached speeds of 40 miles per hour underwater through its innovative teardrop hull shape, setting records for submarine velocity.
