U.S.S. Albacore


 

600 Market Street

Portsmouth, NH 03801

Ph: 603-436-3680



Albacore Park is the site of a world-famous submarine, the Portsmouth-built USS Albacore, and of a memorial garden honoring those who lost their lives while serving aboard American submarines.



The USS Albacore was a prototype for today's submarines. It and the USS Nautilus, the first nuclear-powered submarine, formed the roots of our country's modern underseas fleet.
