USS Triton Sail Park

The USS Triton Submarine Sail Park in North Richland features the decommissioned 23‐foot-tall USS Triton submarine sail. The Triton was powered by two nuclear reactors and was the first submarine to perform a submerged circumnavigation of the Earth.

Groups and individuals are encouraged to visit the sail park. The park is open year-round for self-guided tours of the vessel’s exterior with displays that share the story of this first-generation nuclear-powered U.S. submarine.
