Maintaining these submarine memorials/museums is expensive and most of those below are supported by individuals who contribute money and work. Check ones in or near your home on their web sites to contribute to their maintenance. Also many offer programs such as sleepovers for scout and other groups. These boats are a tribute to the submariners of the U. S. Navy and deserve our support.

Since these ships require maintenance, check web sites or telephone before visiting to be certain you can tour the ship. Phone numbers were those in 2004. Google submarine's name with USS before the name, as USS Drum, to find web sites. Some ships are floating while others are placed in sand or the ground.
