The USS Torsk was the last US Navy submarine to sink an enemy warship until the war with Iran. Take a look inside.

"For 81 years, the USS Torsk held its claim to fame as the last US Navy submarine to sink an enemy ship in combat. Then, a US Navy submarine torpedoed an Iranian warship on March 4 as part of Operation Epic Fury, sinking an enemy ship for the first time since Torsk's World War II battle in 1945."

"While modern submarine capabilities have advanced far beyond what historic ships like Torsk could sustain thanks to innovations like nuclear power, the vessels themselves don't look all that different than they did during World War II."

"Visiting Torsk's torpedo rooms, control room, and crew berthing areas still provides an unparalleled look into modern submarine warfare."

"Torsk was decommissioned in 1968, and after being updated and converted to a fleet-snorkel submarine, it participated in significant operations like the blockade of Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962."

The USS Torsk, now a museum in Baltimore, was the last US submarine to sink an enemy ship in combat until March 4, when a US Navy submarine sank an Iranian warship during Operation Epic Fury. For 81 years, Torsk held this distinction since its World War II actions in 1945. Despite advancements in submarine technology, the design remains similar. Visitors can explore Torsk's torpedo rooms, control room, and crew bunks, gaining insight into both historic and modern submarine warfare.
