Description: The USS Blueback (SS-581) is a notable Barbel-class diesel-electric submarine that served in the United States Navy from 1959 to 1990. Distinguished as the last non-nuclear submarine built by the U.S., the Blueback played a crucial role during the Cold War, conducting various missions including surveillance and training exercises. After decommissioning, it was preserved as a museum ship and is now a prominent exhibit at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) in Portland, Oregon, where it offers visitors a unique glimpse into submarine life and naval history.
