The USS Bowfin is docked in Pearl Harbor. It was one of the most highly
decorated submarines of the war. I was a little surprised at the
construction. It's basically a metal tube with a facade of a deck so the
crew would be able to walk on it. The deck had slats that you could see
through. As I recall, they were made out of wood. It was like a roof
purpose built to leak. 
The battle flag of the USS Bowfin is a hoot. There's a bus on it - they
torpedoed a bus, as well as a crane, and a dock. This was an
unparalleled feat of the war.
