The USS Pampanito (SS-383) is a Balato class submarine that served the United States Navy in WWII. It was launched in July 1943 and commissioned in November 1943. It served in the Pacific and completed six patrols between March 1944 and February 1945. It sank a number of Japanese ships and was itself damaged by depth charges on one occasion. The ship received six battle stars for its service. It was decommissioned at the end of the war (December 1945) and was in reserve until 1960 and reclassified as a naval reserve training ship in 1962 (AGSS-383) and served in that capacity until 1971 when it was stricken from the navy register. The ship was turned into a memorial and museum in San Francisco in 1975 and opened to the public in 1982. It can be found at Pier 45 in the Fisherman's Wharf area of San Francisco, California.
