There is the USS Silverside in Muskegon, MI and a sub in Manitowac, WI where
they built them in WWII.

Hi,
There is the USS Pampanito in San Francisco.
USS Bluefin (or Bluefish) in Portland, Oregon. Supposed to be the US Navy's
last diesel-electric.
USS Sealion in Fall River, Massachusetts. Bonus here is the Battleship
Massachusetts, a Soviet destroyer and some PT boats.
If in Chicago the see the U-505. Not a US boat but a German IX.
The premium submarine museum in the States is at Groton, Connecticut.
It has the USS Nautilas, the world's first nuclear submarine. The
museum is great with a 1/3 (?) scale cut away model of a German IX and
a wall of mounted hulls shapes of all the the US classes of submarines
(all to the same scale!).
Regards,
Ray
