I am almost sure the New Jersey and the Mighty Mo are still around aomewhere also.

PS........forgot about the U-505 at the Museum of Science/Industry in Chicago.

I doubt they were retained as memorials.

I think the closest you will get in regards WWII and Japan is the salvaged main gun turret from the battleship Mutsu which is on display as part of a war-dead memorial.

I believe also there is a Japanese mini-sub at the Pacific War museum I visited years ago in Nimitz's home town in Fredicksburg, TX.

Don't forget the U-505 in Washington (for you German guys).




Its in Chicago, at the Museum of Science and Industry



I can't believe I said Washington. I grew up in Illinois, was on the U 505 at least four times as a kid and as an adult. I live in Washington now, I must have geographical dyslexia.

USCGC TANEY (WPG-37) is located in New York I think. TANEY was at Pearl Harbor on 7 Dec 1941. Sister ship USCGC INGHAM is a museum somewhere or other. USCGCs
BIBB and DUANE (also sisters) are vets of the N. Atlantic convoys (as are INGHAM and TANEY) and are popular dive sites West of Key West, FL. All of those ships served well into the 80s. USCGC DUANE carried gold hull numbers because it was the oldest ship in commission other than USS Constitution and USS Arizona (which have special commissions requiring no actual service).


There's a WWII submarine docked in Cleveland, Ohio. I lived there for over 5 years but damned if I can think of her name right now.


It's the Cod. That was the first sub I ever crawled through.

Her tripod mast is at Annapolis and her bell is somewhere (got the details at home). For a ship that fought in every major camapign but one, Coral Sea which she missed by three days, it was a dark moment for American history!

I've been in the Silversides too - I used to spend a lot of time in the Grand Haven/Spring Lake area. Where in MI are you?

Never stayed there overnight though. I didn't know you could do that.

I imagine that would be James River. That's where the Ghost Fleet currently resides. There are many WW2 ships in it and most cannot be scrapped, due to hazmat concerns.

There is a Japanese Kaiten on display at Mystic Seaport in Mystic, CT. At least there was one there last time I visited (early 60s (oh dear me)).

Though training vessels in both services the HORST WESSEL reportedly shot down two Russian a/c during the war, apparently during the evacuation of Courland.

USS Alabama in Mobile Bay

USS Massachusetts and a DD, a sub and some PT boats in Fall River Mass.

USS Quincy in (you geussed it) Quincy Mass on the Fore River

There is a DD (Fletcher?) in the old Navy Yard in Boston near the Constitution.

HMS Belfast is in London on the Thames

There is a Soviet river patrol boat mounted on a platform in downtown Kaliningrad, the city that used to be Koenigsburg.

There are other riverine craft near the Victoria in Kiev. The Victoria is a giant stainless steel victory figure with a truly amazing military museum in the base and loads of hardware on the approaches. Everyone should go to a Soviet war museum sometime, it will change your view of the war.
