The New Arrival

The submarine USS Dolphin is now part of the Maritime Museum of San Diego.

USS Dolphin (AGSS-555) was the United States Navy's only operational diesel-electric, deep-diving, research and development submarine.
She was active from 1968 until 2007. Employed by both civilian and Navy activities, Dolphin is equipped with an extensive instrumentation suite that supports missions such as acoustic deep-water and littoral research, near-bottom and ocean surveys, weapons launches, sensor trials, and engineering evaluations.
Because she was designed as a test platform, Dolphin can be modified both internally and externally to allow installation of up to 12 tons of special research and test equipment.
She holds the record for deepest submarine dive of more than 3,000 feet.

I will photograph the interior of the submarine soon and will post the images in a separate gallery.
