Frommer's Review

The USS Bowfin is one of only 15 World War II submarines still in existence today. You can go below deck of this famous submarine -- nicknamed the "Pearl Harbor Avenger" for its successful attacks on the Japanese -- and see how the 80-man crew lived during wartime. The Bowfin Museum has an impressive collection of submarine-related artifacts. The Waterfront Memorial honors submariners lost during World War II.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
