USS Silversides Gets Major Overhaul | Green Bay News

The USS Silversides, a legendary WWII Gato-class submarine and one of the most decorated subs from the war, has arrived in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, for a major three-month dry dock overhaul — its first in over 50 years. Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding is leading the charge with hull cleaning, structural inspections, and new protective coatings to ensure the vessel’s long-term preservation. Owned by the USS Silversides Submarine Museum in Muskegon, Michigan, the sub is set to remain in top condition for future generations. While the shipyard won’t be open to visitors for safety, updates will be shared via the museum’s website and Fincantieri’s Facebook page. This historic restoration highlights the power of collaboration in safeguarding our naval heritage. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
