Iolani Palace Audio Guide Tour

The Pacific Fleet Submarine Museum and campus recently completed a makeover. The museum was expanded and the interior was completely redesigned with three galleries that document the history of the United States Navy's Submarine Force during World War II, the Cold War, to the present day and into the future. There are many different exhibits the whole family can enjoy. **World War II Gallery** The Submarine Force came of age during World War II. Although it comprised just 2% of the US Navy, it was responsible for sinking over five million tons of Imperial Japan's shipping vessels - about 60% of the total shipping sunk during the war. **Bowfin's Bell** Bowfin's bell was missing after her move between San Diego and Seattle. In 1996, the bell resurfaced and was offered to the museum. **Battleflags** Hanging in the World War II gallery of the museum are replicas of submarine battleflags of many submarines that fought in the Pacific.

Spanning two historic WWII-era hangars filled with aircraft, exhibits, and artifacts of the men and women who gave their lives for freedom, Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum offers a can't-miss stop on your pilgrimage to Pearl Harbor. **Hangar 37** Housed in an authentic World War II-era hangar, Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum’s Hangar 37 is home to the artifacts that tell the story of America’s involvement in World War II from the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor to the Battle of Midway, and beyond. **Hangar 79** Hangar 79 picks up where the story in Hangar 37 leaves off, documenting the rise of American air superiority that was established in World War II and continued to climb in subsequent decades in the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the Gulf Wars. **The Raytheon Pavillion & Outdoor Exhibits** This permanent pavilion opened at the museum with the aim of providing exposure to national and international traveling exhibits, through the lens of American history.
