At: Portsmouth Navy Yard, Portsmouth New Hampshire
Commissioned: April 28, 1945

USS Requin was on her way to the western Pacific under the command of submarine ace Commander Slade Deville Cutter when World War II ended. Like most of her Tench-class sisters, Requin did not spend the Cold War in mothballs. Instead she returned to the shipyard for conversion to a radar picket submarine under Project Migraine. Requin and her sister radar picket subs provided surface battle groups with early warning of enemy air attacks, helped direct friendly air strikes, and provided mid-course guidance for submarine-launched Regulus missiles. In her new role as a submersible radar and control center, Requin's after compartment was filled with state of the art radars, communications gear, and control equipment.

USS Pittsburgh Tribute
During WWII, George Jock and Robert McKnight of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania served aboard the Baltimore-class heavy cruiser, USS Pittsburgh (CA-72). The ship saw intense action in the South Pacific and participated in the invasions of Iwo Jima and Okinawa. The Pittsburgh is most known for towing the USS Franklin (CV-13) after the carrier was severely disabled by a Japanese strike. During a typhoon in June 1945, the Pittsburgh suffered a catastrophic structural failure when her bow was torn from the ship’s hull.

USS Pittsburgh (SSN 720) Arrives in Bremerton for Decommissioning
USS Pittsburgh (SSN 720) Arrives in Bremerton for Decommissioning
The Los Angeles-class fast-attack submarine USS Pittsburgh (SSN 720) arrived at Naval Base Kitsap-Bremerton to commence the inactivation and decommissioning process, May 28.
Under the command of Cmdr. Jason Deichler, a Pittsburgh native, the submarine departed Naval Submarine Base New London in Groton, Connecticut, and made its first arctic transit for its final homeport change.
“We are the first second flight 688 to complete an arctic an arctic transit from Groton to Bremerton for an inactivation,” said Deichler. “It was an amazing transit, one that it unique to submarines. There aren’t too many people in the history of the world, let alone the submarine force, let alone the Navy, that have done that transit under the ice.”
Pittsburgh completed their most recent deployment Feb. 25, 2019. During the deployment, the boat and her crew steamed more than 39,000 nautical miles and conducted three foreign port visits.
“All I heard from the crew during the transit was ‘this is the last’,” said Deichler. “This is the last meal; this is the last time we are going to eat Pittsburgh steak on Pittsburgh; this is the last turn; this is the last shut down. So the pride that they have in the ship is amazing, the best I have ever seen on any ship I have ever served.”
The submarine's ability to support a multitude of missions, including anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface ship warfare, strike warfare, surveillance and reconnaissance, made Bremerton one of the most capable submarines in the world.
“It is a bittersweet feeling to be the last operational commanding officer of Pittsburgh,” said Deichler. “I am a native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, so the boat has a special meaning to me. It is bittersweet to see Pittsburgh come for a final mooring here in Bremerton, but I know it will help the Navy in her future mission as we bring more Virginia-class submarines out online and we get our technology upgraded.”
During the inactivation process, Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility will de-fuel the submarine, with the hull retained in safe storage until decommissioning.
“The 35 years of USS Pittsburgh has been an amazing 35 years,” said Deichler. “We have been involved in two tomahawk strike exercises and a multitude of missions vital to national security. What I really hope that the public remembers of our ship and our crew is the hard working men and women that helped build the submarine, utilizing materials from Pittsburgh, companies from Pittsburgh, and the support I got from the citizens of Pittsburgh; and then the crew itself, as they supported the ship and conducted operations over these 35 years.”
Commissioned Nov. 23, 1985, Pittsburgh is the forth U.S. Navy vessel to be named for the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The boat's mission is to seek out and destroy enemy ships and submarines and to protect U.S. national interests. At 360-feet-long and 6,900 tons, Pittsburgh can be armed with sophisticated MK48 advanced capability torpedoes and Tomahawk cruise missiles.

Inside USS Requin (SS-481), - tour #1 - The Carnegie Science Center
The best part was the submarine walk-through.USS Requin (SS-481), It is a real sub from the 40's and was amazing to see how cramped a sub really is.
The sub was built for the World War II. Interesting fact: the Requin never made it to the battle. Scheduled departure was August 21, 1945, but the war officially ended on the 15th.
The submarine was also really cool to go on. You get to see the inner workings and they have the whole thing laid out. It is really neat.

USS Becuna submarine - Philadelphia - 01 Nov 2010
Launched in 1944, the Becuna (SS-319) completed five wartime patrols in the Pacific Ocean. Becuna is similar to many submarines built in Philadelphia for the U.S. Navy.
Becuna is a BALAO-class submarine built in New London, CT. During World War II, Becky prowled the Pacific Ocean for Japanese ships, and is credited with sinking 3.5 Japanese merchant ships. Converted in 1951 to a Guppy 1A type with sophisticated radar and torpedo equipment including nuclear warheads, she is the only Guppy 1-A submarine on display.
Becuna's Cold War missions often found her in the Atlantic, trailing Soviet submarines with eavesdropping equipment aboard. She served in the Mediterranean and the Atlantic during the Korean and Vietnam Wars and ended her long and distinguished career as a training submarine in Connecticut.
Becuna was decommissioned in 1969 and has been part of the Philadelphia Independence Seaport Museum's Historic Ship Zone since 1996. Becuna is a National Historic Landmark and is on the National Register of Historic Places.
