The U.S.S. Razorback is a submarine with a colourful history. It was one of two American subs present at the signing of the peace treaty in Tokyo Bay, 1945. During the war, submarines comprised a mere 2% of the U.S. navy yet accounted for half of enemy sea losses. One in seven submariners lost their lives. Refitted in 1952, it was sold to Turkey in the 1970’s, then eventually returned for permanent berthing in Little Rock with warm cooperation by the Turkish navy, for whom Greg Stitz, ship curator, had glowing praise. “On a sub everything is hard and unforgiving, so watch your head,” he warned before the tour.
