Some areas you will explore include the engine compartments, officers quarters, forward torpedo bay, and more!

USS Cavalla

The USS Cavalla, also known as the "Lucky Lady" or "Seawolf", is an attack submarine. Commissioned on February 29, 1944, Cavalla spans 311 ft and 9 in x 27 ft and 3 in. She can fit a crew of up to 6 officers and 54 enlisted. A walk through the submarine will show you how the submariners ate, slept, and worked together. Cavalla officially arrived at Seawolf Park in 1971 - since then there have been strong efforts to preserve her. Every other decade, a full blown restoration effort occurs!
