World War II submarine returns to Wisconsin Maritime Museum following drydocking

Built as one of 77 Gato-class diesel-electric submarines for the US Navy, Cobia was in service from 1944 to 1946 and again from 1951 to 1954. During six patrols in the Pacific in the last 13 months of World War II, she sank over 16,000 tonnes of Japanese shipping and earned four battle stars.

The submarine became a floating exhibit at WMM in 1986 and was eventually declared a National Historic Landmark.
