This is a National Historic Landmark — an authentic World War II submarine with many original artifacts on display. Up to 80 personnel ran this submarine and it could be at sea for up to several weeks at a time.
USS Pampanito (SS-383/AGSS-383) is a Balao-class submarine built for the United States Navy during World War II; it is the third U.S. Navy vessel named for the pompano fish. She completed six war patrols from 1944 to 1945 and served as a United States Naval Reserve training ship from 1960 to 1971. She is now a National Historic Landmark, preserved as a memorial and museum ship in the San Francisco Maritime National Park Association located at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco, California.

This tiny chapel is a memorial to the "Lost Fishermen"... those that have lost their lives on the seas. Different religions are represented with separate altars on different sides of the tiny chapel. Every year they hold a special service to commemorate these fishermen. The annual "Blessing of the Fleet" also starts from here every October.
They offer a 1-hour "Golden Gate Bay Cruise" which goes under the Golden Gate Bridge and around Alcatraz, a 2 hour "California Sunset Cruise" which goes under the Golden Gate Bridge and around Angel Island, and a 90-minute "Bridge 2 Bridge Cruise" which goes under both the Golden Gate Bridge and the Bay Bridge.
Located behind the Pampanito submarine is this World War II Liberty Ship open for tours. The SS Jeremiah O'Brien is the sole survivor of the armada of Allied ships which was involved in D-Day, and one of only two remaining World War II Liberty Ships surviving today (the other being the SS Lane Victory in San Pedro), and is an example of the welded and riveted construction technique that was pioneered in the Richmond shipyards that gave us Rosie the Riveter.
