USS Bowfin Submarine Museum Pearl Harbor Review

USS Bowfin Submarine Museum is a WWII submarine, a museum on land and a park. The tour in a WWII submarine is verry interesting. The park isn't interesting if you don't know what to look for. It's mostly displays of old torpedos. I'd recomend you take the tour inside the bowfin first. Theres an audio-guide at the entrance.

Address: 11 Arizona Memorial Drive Honolulu, HI 96818

Mighty Moe - The last of it's kind Pearl Harbor Review

The one thing I remember most about Pearl Harbor is my visit aboard the Mighty Moe. It is the last Battleship ever built. Last time it was used was in the first gulf war.

It was on the deck of this ship that Japan signed the peace treaty with the Allies, ending WWII. A fitting place for the ship is therefore next to Arizona. The guides will tell you that the war started with Arizona, and ended with Mighty Moe, ignoring the fact that WWII started with Germanys attac on Poland.

Address: USS Missouri Memorial Association
