National Museum of the Pacific War

The hull of this submarine is a concrete recreation, but the conning tower is from an actual WW2 US submarine. You can tell that the grass was fashioned in such a way that it looks like waves of water, so that the submarine is looking like it is about to surface.

I was sadden to find out that people in their 20's do not know much about WW2, nor do they have any interests in the subject matter. Most of the people I saw visiting this museum were older generation (60s or older).

This exhibit is at the end of the museum tour. A screen would come down periodically covering up this dive bomber, and the Japanese surrender footage, including the radio recording of the Japanese Emperor, would play for about 2 minutes or so.
